If team A expected runs to be scored in a 20 over inning is 185 and team B is 165.Team B is 20 runs short.How to convert this margin into match odds.

165 divided by 185 is .89 so 89/100 and 111/100

What about the toss?

Are you taking the p1ss Kenny?

What if the expected runs were 50 and 150?  Do you think that equates to a 33/100 plays 166/100 game?

What's the answer then?

It obviously depends on a multitude of factors.  But I suspect the difference in odds between the two teams will increase exponentially with the difference in expected runs.

Fair play to you making a living out of betting despite seriously giving that answer at 14:48.  You must be some lucky punter.

You can't make a living on here for 13 years with just luck, rob.

It's a simple strategy. Found out which horses are going to go off shorter and back them before they shorten. Plus a little trading.

Top secret information these equations.

Most of the compilers just copy of the exchanges or the brainier compilers.

just stick a few gbp  up where you think it should be, the odds will correct you
