Tips for Tikay

He's 1/12 and priced like a certainty

We have £140 almost secured

Then Sehwag goes and gets a 100 in Kolkata.....


All the success of the bet, and the punting upside, is in the price. Buy low, sell high.

take the profit

If we intended to do that, how much do you guys suggest that the Lay be for?

All hypothetical, of course.

Did he take a nasty knock fielding? Is this an injury that will hamper his batting?

When it's such long odds-on it's immaterial really.

Just lock up most of your profit for £5/£10.

He did

No indication of any problems from here, he batted in the second innings


Pujara is 1/12 on the machine.

Its Hector's bet, but sticking £240 up to lose £20

If Pujara wins

You win £20@7-1=£140 minus £20 (from the lay) =£120

If Pujara loses from here

You win £240 (from the lay) less £20 (from the back at 7-1) =£220

Currently you are +140 or -£20, you can get to +£120 or +£220


You might decided its not worth the hassle
It might not get matched due to illiquidity
If there is an outlier event you need to remember to act (ie Pujara is ruled out before Friday)


In before I get told my back of the envelope is wrong.....

Why would you want to reverse your position?

Surely just laying a tenner is ample.

[tikay]

I am with Methuselah Minor here, surely a tenner does the job, nice & neat?

You've had all the benefit of being long, there's no upside in being long at 1/12

Go short locking in 85% of the long, and win either way....

I strongly recomend getting with Spurs against Liverpool this Wednesday night in The Premier League.

Spurs played some great football when beating West Ham yesterday and looked well organised at the back now Dawson has been re instated. Live wire Defoe looked sharp up front and the midfield seemed really strong and up for it ,closing down West Ham quickly .Liverpool on the other hand looked average when held to a 0-0 at Swansea, where they played the left side midfielder Downing (replaced by Joe Cole) at left back and the left back Enrique in midfield as a consequence Suarez got little or no service up front. Although Liverpool had a goal disallowed It appears Brendan Rodgers is still experimenting with his formation and has few options on the bench.

With momentum and home support behind them I think Spurs will be well up for this  and represent great value especially when you can back Spurs at  4 -5 (Draw no bet) with Bet Victor or Sky...Because we have the saftey net of draw =money back ....I think £100 is the bet

Nott'm Forest to win @ Ipswich 7/5 for me.

We had a cracking win at Wolves on Saturday, are playing well and I just can't see Ipswich getting much out of this one.

Cheeky £20 maybe?

Tenner is right.  The 7/1 was a good bet.  Laying the 1/12 is not nearly as certain to be one.  If we must be yellow bellies/green up do it at the minimum cost.  We don't want max upside we are just protecting our position.
