Tips for Tikay

[TheDazzler]

All, need some advice!

Just opened a Sporting Index account and have £100 to spend as a new member. The rules basically say that after 7 days, whatever I have made in profit is mine to keep. If I lose the entire £100, then nothing happens.

Please advise where you think I should place this, obviously needs to be a short term market.

Cheers

If the weather remains good then overs points for the Widnes v Wakefield rugby league at the weekend could be decent.

Go. With. What. This. Guy. Says.

It depends on what you want to achieve Peter. Some people would be very happy to choose something that has close to 50% of some kind of a return. By buying points in a rugby game you either leave yourself open to any losses over the £100 or you have to bet so small per point it hardly seems worth it. For instance if you are buying at 40 you would be playing a max of £2.50 per point unless you took on a liability yourself.

If I had a £100 freeroll like this I would be looking for something with maximum volatility but with risk limited to exactly £100, something that really gears up the position. Doing it this way you are most likely to get nothing but you have a chance of a decent return.

You could look at buying a batsman's 50 ups or something like that. Say for instance you bought for £25 at 4 a particular batsman's 50 ups. If he doesn't make 50 you lose the £100 but every run over 54 you get £25 and that could be a real fun position to play once he gets there.

There is sure to be a position in running in the 1st Eng v NZ ODI that you can take at some point along these lines.

Spent a while posting something similar then saw the above.

Of the markets available now, I was going to suggest buy ton-ups for £6.25 @16. This way you get the whole field rather than one player but your potential profits are much smaller.

Those spread free bets usually have a maximum win amount so check the terms before deciding your target market.

a fascinating match at headingley where bairstow's 125 (a huge score in a low scoring game) took yorkshire to 229 versus middlesex's 212. middlesex ended the day 100 left with six wickets left needing another 100 or so to make it a very interesting chase

a remarkable game at canterbury. derbyshire were dismissed for 86 in response to kent's 205 then dismissed kent for 112 in the second innings. needing 232 to win, kent were favourites to take the ten wickets required but derbyshire got to 169-1 by the close!

This is excellent advice.  Take an opener when he gets to crease and buy his 50ups in running.  You could make 100 plus points the way ODIs are played these days.  Perfect bet structure for the spread bet where first £100 is on the house.

Buying an opener is perfect but you will have to pay more than 4. You are more likely to get a return with an opener but you will be playing for less than £25 a point so any gains (per run) will be less. Just divide 100 by the offer price to find out how much per point you should play for to limit any losses to £100. You do want to risk the whole £100 in one position though.

Another advantage of buying an opener at a higher price rather than someone lower down the order in single figures is that you will get many more spots where you don't lose the whole £100 and you get a second go.

My preference would be for a player like McCullum or even Butler as they can be so explosive.

Those spread free bets usually have a maximum win amount so check the terms before deciding your target market.

That was my thought too, but it appears no upper limit:

 *Terms and conditions
 
1. You agree that by participating in this promotion ("Promotion"), you will be bound by these terms and conditions ("Terms") as well as the general rules that apply to your account ("Account Operating Rules"). You should read these Terms carefully and acquaint yourself with our risk disclosure notice.
2. To receive this Promotion, customers must successfully apply for, and open, a new Sporting Index account. The free £100 trading credit will then be credited to your account.

5. The promotional period will be 7 days from the opening of a new Sporting Index account.
6. Any net profits made over and above the £100 trading credit at the end of the 7 days will be yours to keep (subject to the Account Operating Rules). Only deposits made by you will be available for withdrawal, providing that the withdrawal of your deposit does not enter you into a negative balance. At the end of the promotional period, the free £100 credit will be removed.
7. RISK WARNING: The trading credit will cover any losses you make up to the value of £100. Any losses over and above the value of the trading credit (or any remaining portion thereof) will be your liability.

It is important that you are aware that it is possible in some circumstances to lose more than the trading credit. If you require any further clarification please contact our Customer Service team.
8. This Promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion.
9. Only one Promotion can be claimed per household.
10. No employee (or any relation or partner or agent thereof) of any spread betting or fixed-odds bookmaking firm is eligible to take advantage of this Promotion.
11. We reserve the right to withdraw the full amount of the trading credit or a portion thereof at any time and without notice if we have reasonable belief that:(a) there has been any co-operation, collusion and/or organisation of bets from the same source; or (b) the Promotion is being abused in any way.
12. We reserve the right to cancel or amend the Promotion or any part of it at any time and without notice. We are the sole arbiters of these terms together with any other issue arising hereunder.

We therefore recommend you revisit these terms regularly, and by your continued use of our websites and services you accept any such modified terms.
13. If the Promotion cannot be executed as planned, including due to any unforeseen issue or technical malfunction beyond our reasonable control, we shall incur no liability for the non-awarding of trading credit.
14. Any dispute or situation not covered by the terms will be resolved by us in a manner we deem to be fairest to all concerned. Our decision shall be final and/or binding on all clients. No correspondence will be entered into. The promotion will be governed by the laws of England and Wales. If any condition within these terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, such condition shall, insofar as it is severable from the remaining parts, be deemed omitted from these terms and shall in no way affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining conditions.

Indeed.  If we go for an opener I'd also buy the team batting first as he isn't either capped by a low target, or forced to play too aggressive with a high target.  You want someone playing their natural game on a nice pitch.  We don't ask for much

Also as Joe says, this free offer doesn't "die" with the first bet.  If you make £100 in the first bet, then you are then in a position where you can place a bet with £200 downside and you only pay your £100 winnings if you lose the 2nd time round.

[DungBeetle]

I think how Spin are thinking is that because it is a 7 days period, the punter will pay more than £100 in bid/offer if he makes 10/15 bets so this covers the cost of their offer at which point it's just business as usual.

[DungBeetle]

Talking of Spin, I see McLaren are now trading at 70, so Fred has a decent open position from selling at 150.

[JoeBeevers]

Whilst I'm here Baldfred are currently 13/8 (max £100) on England to win ODI1 (Betfair 2.50/2.52)

[Tonji]

We have a Formula E race in just over 35 minutes time! The Moscow ePrix  

I think Nelson Piquet will win from 2nd place on the grid, his price is 7/2 (Lassbrokes). The price that is interesting though is Lucas di Grassi who starts 3rd .. 4/1 with Lassbrokes, 7/1 with Bet366InALeapYear.

Suggest £20 on Nelson at 7/2 & Suggest £10 on Lucas at 7/1!

Nelson won! I hope you guys got on it

@ Peter. Any inside info for Le Mans next weekend? Looks like Audi reliability v Porsche superior straight line speed.

cheers peter
