Looking forward to this. Covers completely off now and match will be started in a few mins...
|
|
By:
yeah looking much brighter out there. CMM could be a winner here
|
|
By:
Good idea, nigel...
|
|
By:
Wow! 1.7s...
|
|
By:
Looks like free munny on CMM... Surely when match gets started that 1.7 will drop to 1.2 or something...
|
|
By:
not sure about that as plenty of clouds still around BUT at 1.65.....
|
|
By:
Anyway. What do you guys think? Another win for SL?
|
|
By:
nzl win today....dilshan is a big blow for lanka....if no more rain, nzl will win this
|

Dark clouds look like they are receding now...

From the Cricinfo lads: "The covers are completely off now. You have got to give it to the groundstaff who have been playing some great innings this series. They got the entire ground covered before it all started and for an outfield the size of Hambantota, that is a lot of work."

Watching the video and it looks like there are just a couple of patches that the umpires are directing the super sopper to go and mop up. Should be underway soon, then!
|
|
By:
Odds on CMM have come in too! 1.5s. Once match starts I imagine we'll see 1.1s pretty soon after...
 |
|
By:
no rain, play in 10
|
|
By:
Thanks
|
|
By:
42 overs a side!!
|
|
By:
42over
|

By:
Must be a lot of people in the completed match market who are not watching the telly and just relying on cricinfo for their betting decisions. Cricinfo is a great source of info when you don't have video but is always a few mins late...
|
|
By:
SL to bowl! I reckon they can still win this...
|
|
By:
are the run line market up now
|
|
By:
??? any idea as to why not playing yet?
|
|
By:
10 over markets should be voided now overs have been reduced.
|
|
By:
Don't worry about it lanza. The guy on the telly said a few moments...
|
|
By:
I'm going to start greening up when we hit the 1.2s and use the mug money I've made for my bets on the match...
|
|
By:
Seems that the punters behind all that money that was laying a completed match at 1.7s are in denial... They're trying to push the market back up to 1.6s... Good opportunity to load up!
|
|
By:
SL doing well here...
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Yes, that is an alternative but it only looks dark because it is late. Not all clouds are necessarily rain clouds...
|
|
By:
its often very cloudy here in hambantota...i remember india vs lanka this year being played for 100 overs in worse conditions
|
|
By:
hate to see batsmen giving respect to bowlers like angelo...come down the wkt n hit him of his length ffs
|
|
By:
Yes, I also think it was because the market was confusing evening time with dark rain clouds. It's dusk over there now!!
|
|
By:
you seriously think people are betting with large amounts of money because they are confusing evening time with dark rain clouds??
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
I do. Every time the video has shifted to a vista of the ground with dark clouds the market has shifted.
|
|
By:
And yet the match goes on. I like the fact that the video shifts to "dark" clouds... Means I get to top up at 1.8s before I inevitably get to lay at 1.3s and 1.4s...
 |
|
By:
trouble is though there is a lot of rain around :

|
By:
it could be fine but they have to get through these 42 overs first and then another 20 - it's still not straight forward
|
|
By:
The CMM No bettors might be right or they might have proper info, but I do think they're guessing on the fact that night and clouds = dark clouds = rain. As you say, it's a dangerous market to potentially be in, which is why I'm not really in it, but I also think the money is guessing.
|
|
By:
CMM market is invented for guessing. You ask any weather forecaster how hard the weather is to predict.
CMM is all about opinions, impressions and comments and has precious little to do with fact. |

By:
And that's why it is so good to trade. Personally, I normally lay completed match once I have decent profit in the match odds market. But usually at 1.1s and below. It's good insurance. Noone in their right mind should be laying it at 1.7s though before the match has even started. That's just crazy!!
