I posted somewhere in this forum some spread bets. Ton-ups, player performance and lowest 15 overs score.
I will start with the later, lowest 15 over score. I bought at 27 and the very first game only 30 were scored wer scored by the windies. The lowest score now is 28, max profit I can get is 0.5 pts. I am not in the position to sell, but with the minows not doing to badly I have to let it run. Australia vs. Canada could be the stumbling block.
The ton-up's market is moving favourably in my direction. A sell now would result in over 40 points profit. But with less than half the matches played in the group stages it will only need a couple of big hundreds and the profit will be in the region of 60 points.
I played Carl Hooper on the player performance market at 370, after an excellant start he has somewhat pottered along in the next two games. I have sold today at 390 before the match was abandoned and secured a small profit of 5 points as I played at 1/4 point per run. I believe that this West Indies side is not as good as first perceived. They raised their game against South Africa and without the exploits of Lara and Jacobs, this side would now be eliminated. I believe also that the no-result today has cost them from progressing in the tournament. If I am wrong I can always step in again, but I am happy to take the profit, although only small.
