thai is still on
|
|
By:
just remember a thai is not a draw ( loads dont know that ),
|
|
By:
if it's a thai are all bets void?
|
|
By:
Just seen rules, dead heat payout on the 2 'winners', draw bets are settled as losers.
I'd better get down there with some orange paint. |
|
By:
probably, inasmuch that a tie would be settled as a dead-heat therefore any bets wagered as a draw are losing bets.
Engerland will win in any case  |

By:
Bit crafty really ,given there’s only ever been 2 ties I think in test history,might actually be 1,
And given a tie is effectively a draw,to keep thinks simple,why don’t they just call a tie a draw, Do they really need a get out clause.a tie must be 1000/1 anyway. |
|
By:
It's not a get out clause swifty , before the 1st ball bowled draw = 2.8 vs tie = name your own price , they couldn't be two more different markets as you know.
|
|
By:
Why don’t they just combine the 2 ,and set 1 price for draw or tie.

The "just stop oil" ****s have decided that their principles are not worth further prison sentences.
Barry Hearne threatened to sue if they repeated the snooker atrocity and it has worked (so far). |

It's an obvious distinction. A draw is when time has run out to complete the game, or it's acknowledged early that will be the case. A tie is a completed game where both sides scored the same number of runs. They are quite different.

Excess of £121M Traded and BF will get relatively little out of it as most is Traded money
|

By:
I can see the difference but if the tie's that rare why not just combine draw/tie as an outcome as cuth suggests above, not sure a dead heat payout is the right way... although with price fluctuations that'll still produce big winners and big losers too with no voids required so right up betfair's street for comms.
|
|
By:
Sorry cuth got you mixed up with swifty
 ...because it can be compared to coupling as in horse racing which i assume we all agree would be ridiculous and prevent punters from backing 2nd strings at big prices. You could imagine the reaction if a punter wanted a tie and ended up with 2.8 being coupled with the draw , two totally different markets as they should and always will be. |
|
By:
if those stats are correct of 2(or 1) ties in the whole of test history they'll have a long wait!
|

By:
Which is a good enough reason to leave things as they are with no complications , it's been brought up now but still big odds to happen.

There was around half a dozen tied in the IPL last season so all voided , the average liquidity over the six games would have been around £60 million a match.

It means,Cardinal, that most o the bets are trading positions.
The only commission is on winnings |
|
By:
exactly irons ,people obsessed with the traded volumes, peanuts changes hands (between Indians) and BF make a couple of quid.
|
|
By:
You are both wrong!
All of that lot is trading positions and I'll be paying my usual commission on it as will every other market participant.  |

By:
what have you staked, what's your P/L figure?
|
|
By:
you've traded 2k? you'll win about 100 quid and pay BF 2 quid? the only mistake I made is you're (probably) not Indian
|
|
By:
With a username like Cardinal,I think that that is unlikely,swifty
|
|
By:
Correct,swifty.
|
|
By:
appears the Cardinal has taken a vow of silence for now.
|
|
By:
If only,swifty.
It is a fact that commission is only paid on the final winning position on any event |
|
By:
irons, you watching the game? looks like we've found Cresswell's replacement, having a cracking game. With Scarles as back up Emerson can be on his bike.

KWP looking lively along with the rest.
I am pleased| |

Only 2 ties in history of tests,1960,1986.
There really is no need to have this market. Given betfair only offer 1000/1,it’s a con,should be 50000/1. Does anyone back this,or are they believing they re backing a draw. Completely pointless market. Be interesting to know if what percentage of tie backers,ring up asking for winnings when it’s a draw,only to be told,it’s in the rules mate. Based on the tie market,there should be and option in roulette,for the ball to land on the wire between numbers,as there’s more chance. |

2500 tests,so true odds,1250/1

I DO RECALL A TEST MATCH ONLY FEW YEARS BACK, AND THE DRAW WAS MASSIVE ODDS AND THERE WASNT A CHANCE OF IT HAPPENING , YET THE DRAW ODDS CRASHED INTO SINGLE FIGURES, AS THE TIE WAS ON ,
