Following on from the great ***Smeagol v Bigjoe: 1 Year,All Test Matches,Official Thread***, it's time to continue the quest to find the best test match strategy.
One £100 bet at SP (before the toss), back or lay the favourite (fav), second favourite (2fav) or outsider (dog), with laydraw and backdraw included (the draw obviously being favourite, 2nd favourite or the dog).
After 44 test matches, the standings were as follows
back2fav... +£652
layfav........ +£606
laydraw..... +£112
backdraw... +£73
backdog.... -£215
laydog....... -£280
lay2fav...... -£521
backfav..... -£1196
Test 45, ENG v WI at Lords starts tomorrow ... :-)
