| great game for trading thuogh. Lahore started at sub 1.5, Cheanni dropped to 1.15 before Lahore then came back to win it. |

unlucky FF, never back short odds in 20/20 though, under any circumstances, no matter how tempting it looks...i've learned the hard way! nobody could really see lahore winning that match when chennai were 1.2.
i was in an awesome position, in for a huge win with 90% of my green on chennai, but i suppose this has taught me that anything can happen in 20/20 (like WTA) and it's best to stick to equal green.

| This result (Lahore win) was expected because organisers want Lahore to stay in tournament. |

thoughts on Mumbai Champs v Kolkata?
Mumbai weren't up to much in their first game, Kolkata yet to play, not sure what their like so a lowdon from one of the cricket regulars would be good!
now liquidity on the market yet on Betfair but indication from what is there suggest there won't be much between them. |

IMO, KT's were unlucky not to win outright last time round, got knocked out in the semi's. Relied heavily on Fat Macca but he was so reliable that it didn't matter too much.
Mumbai were the worst team last time round...didn't see anything in the first match to suggest they'd be any better off this time. 115/4 off 20 overs, not sure what happened there!
Again, will have to wait for team news as there have been some strange choices (eg Lahore only playing one spinner today) but I think that I'll be opposing Mumbai until the end of the tournament. Quite confident in this as well, will try and get a better price if possible though.
Please remind me not to let it ride and take equal profit when i get the chance!

Looks KT's all the way but in this lottery format where wickets are less important (11 batsman for only 20 overs) anything can happen.
So looking to trade this match although try to green out more on KT 60/40. |

KT's definitely a lot stronger, I didn't get matched at my preferred price though, will have to wait in play.

good effort in the end for KT's to get 146, certainly think they're better value now at 1.8 than they were at the start.

You are right Titan.It is par score imo.
But T20 is funny game so level your book for equal green (remember).
All the best. |

what an ending!
i backed Kalkata way too low and was sweating my way through most of that Mumbai innings. Good bowling by Mccullum and Kusner to slow things down and pick up a couple of wickets, after that Mumbai pretty much folded losing 7 wickets in the final 4 overs.
tight stuff with a 1 run win for Kalkata!
phew |

You mean McMillian franco? McCullum is a keeper 
But just checked out the score, what a close ending! Haven't been betting on them, as its difficult to follow them w/o actually watching it. But you all are making some money out of this. (and it was a 2-run win :p) |

well well well, finally we've had a bona fide 20/20 match with sixes and proper collapses - 7 wickets for 17 runs at the end!
chuffed to have taken a decent profit in the end, although like yesterday, could have been a lot more.
can't complain though as i was staring at huge red on mumbai when astle and van der wath were in and hit a couple of sixes.
was always very confident in nanty hayward bowling the last over though, esp against tail-enders.
princecap - the link i posted is pretty good quality although there's a delay on it. definitely worth trying it out with small stakes, I've found it to be the perfect stuff to build trading experience and confidence.
fairfranco - you seem quite excited! kusner?! mccullum?! 
what a game!
