I put in a lay of Lanka at 19 several hours before play, in the hope the match would start under sunny skies. Their chances were slim if the full 90 overs were played.

I didn't see the price moves you talk about. They do seem large, and I didn't catch them - sigh - but if there were regular fixes, I'm surehttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30571345/sri-lanka-v-india-2nd-test-at-colombo?post_id=545962523#545962523All I can say is I have been betting on subcontinent Tests for a long time and in modesty, I do well on them.

It's subcontinent bookies laying off.

There was a very large and strange amount of activity in the betting market around 4.20am (UK time) when the Indian odds drifted from 18 to 400 before settling around 36, at the same timehttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30571345/sri-lanka-v-india-2nd-test-at-colombo?post_id=545962127#545962127This test confirms all my fears for those betting on cricket.

Smallish win in the end as I ended up burning some cash on the last day. Although I try to disregard the weather, those forecasts of doom are always lurking in the back of my head.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30571345/sri-lanka-v-india-2nd-test-at-colombo?post_id=545962023#545962023Didn't do too bad.

Lost my nerve yesterday though when India played on after tea.

Although matches seem more rain affected than P Sara, which is just chance.Another draw lay or India back to start IMO.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30571345/sri-lanka-v-india-2nd-test-at-colombo?post_id=545961877#545961877Next match at the SSC, Colombo, which has a history of draws.
