14-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - In-Play Tips

In general I avoid going In-Play as much as possible. Since I have the time with me to sit and watch both these CL T20 matches, I'll be posting some tips.

As of now Lahore Lions win the toss and choose to bowl.

ND are 32/1 after 5 overs. Williamson is struggling to middle the ball. Wait to place any bets for now.

Williamson is out. Enter with 1 unit on LL @ 4/7.

10 overs 73/3.

17 overs 148/3. How many catches will LL drop!!

The LL holds on to some catches and ND end with 170 on board.

ND were looking for 180-190. Last three overs being good they are restricted to 170.

LL are 12/2 after 2.3 overs. 10 units on ND @ 1/5

LL are 17/4. No way of winning the match from here. 33 units @ 1/33.

So the score standing at 19/5, I hope the contest is finished. Glad to finish this game with 2 units profit.

Follow me for the next game.

MI v SE

MI have won the toss and bowling. Waiting for the squads update.

Very strange things are happening. MI are without Praveen Kumar. Shreyas Gopal replaces him. MI are going in with 5 bowlers again then. But betvictor has cut down the odds to 1/3 on MI. Do not enter the match right now. Wait and watch.

27/1 in 6 overs.

MI @ 1/5 - 10 units

109/5 in 16 overs.

Crazy match - 161/6 in 20 overs from 27/1 in 6 overs.

The match is as good as over now with MI needing 31 from 36 balls.

Again another 2 units profit.

We'll see tomorrow with next set of tips. Bye.

13-17 Sep-2014 - 2nd Test - West Indies v Bangladesh

From now on I'll be posting the number of units to place on each bet. 1 unit means 0.5% of your bank.
Since WI are going slow the odds are increased to 4/7.
So I am tipping 1 unit on WI @ 4/7.

14-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - Lahore Lions v Northern Districts

Both the teams have equal set of strengths and weaknesses. LL have a good bowling unit. ND has a great batting unit.

Against Mumbai Indians,  LL showed their deficiencies in their batting. But on the other hand ND hasn't been threatened by a good spin bowling by Southern Express,  which won't be the case with LL's spin attack.

I think the LL hold a slight advantage over ND in this match. Since both the matches of 13-Sep are won by chasing teams, I will be sidelining with LL if they are chasing. I will wait for the toss to  finish and post a tip.

Update
There are certain factors I have noticed after the end of yesterday's matches. Pollard complained of a very wet ball while MI bowled. So the doubts on LLs batting gets higher. The bookmakers should have noticed this. The price on LL has been revised from 8/11 to 4/5.

So this being a match with afternoon start, chasing teams do not have a slight advantage.

There is going to be no tips for this match. I will advise you to avoid. But for people who wants to enter I'll post the strategies.

1. Pick the chasing team after toss.
2. Pick Lahore Lions @ 4/5 and go In-Play to pick Northern Districts @ 2/1 or higher to cover your investments.
3. Play for a swing of fortunes.
Pick both the teams @ 6/4 while In-Play.

It's up to the individual to chose one of the strategies. Do your own research before doing so. Go for low stakes.

14-Sep-2014 - Mumbai Indians v Southern Express

Mumbai Indians were troubled by some good fast bowling by the Lahore Lions in their first match. on the other hand Southern Express lost the match to Northern Districts due to poor bowling. The SE's strength was expected to be their spin department. But their spinners leaking runs against a Newzealand team in the sub-continent shows their lack of experience.

SE are showing their lack of experience and application in both their Batting and Bowling department. But MI are comparatively better with their Bowling than their Batting.

I expect the MI team to shake the rustiness with the bat and come good in this match in order to survive in the Qualifiers.

Tip - Mumbai Indians @ 2/5

13-Sep-2014 - Review of the Tips and Suggestions

13-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - Northern Districts v Southern Express

Northern Districts won as expected against Southern Express. The Southern's inexperience with captain-ship was clearly evident when they tried to bowl too many overs of spin in a 10 overs match. So the Northerns easily chased down the required 93 runs.

Tip - Northern Districts @ 4/6 - Won




13-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - Mumbai Indians v Lahore Lions

Something didn't look right from the beginning about the MI v LL match yesterday. The doubts only increased when MI went in with 5 bowlers. Mumbai Indians' main strength is their batting.

When you have to tinker with the batting line-up as your regular opener is absent, will you go with one batsman short! Oh wait. Aren't they playing against a Pakistan B team as we mentioned yesterday. With only 136 required LL were 49/0 at the end of 7 overs and 76/2 after 13 Overs (Just 27 runs in 6 Overs). The match is interestingly poised now or should I say all 3 results are possible.

Tip - Avoid




13-Sep-2014 - 2nd Test - West Indies v Bangladesh

West Indians are @ 102/0 during the 2nd session of day 1. The odds still stand @ 4/9. Since the run rate is very low, one may get better odds later in the day.

Tip - West Indies @ 4/9

13-Sep-2014 - 2nd Test - West Indies v Bangladesh

I am not going to provide a detailed analysis for this match.

Chris Gayle won't be playing for WI and Imrul Kayes won't play for BD. I don't think these factors will affect the result.

I expect the Gros Islet pitch to be more alive than the 1st test pitch at Kingston.

Tip: West Indies @ 4/9 - BetVictor.com
Go for low to medium stakes with better prices

13-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - Mumbai Indians v Lahore Lions

In the previous editions of CL T20 Pakistan teams have fared poorly. Enter the most consistent team of Pakistani domestic T20 circuit [CSK of Pakistan??]. Heavy hitting top order, experienced fast bowlers, an gem of a domestic spinner unknown to the world (and sub continent advantage) makes Lahore Lions.

The main problem that they have lies with their in experienced middle order. Also this team comprises of purely Pakistani players. The lack of foreign internationals creates the image that this team is an Pakistan B team. So the Pakistan team's over aggressive approach, spectacular collapses (or victories) may get reflected in this teams performances as well.

The favourites to win this match Mumbai Indians also have their own problems. Captain Rohit sharma injured and out the tournament. Since he opens the innings for MI,  the batting order needs to be adjusted a bit. Lend Simmons has cemented his place as the opener. But the lower middle order batsmen Ambati Rayudu, Corey Anderson, Pollard have to clean up the mess that may be created by a brittle top order. Mumbai's strength undoubtedly in this tournament will be their bowling with Malinga, Ojha and Harbhajan.

Tip: I would avoid this match since the odds are very short on MI @ 2/5 - BetVictor.com.
This match is going to test which side has a lot of weaknesses in their batting.

If one still wants to enter this match do some price fishing on MI when In-Play with low stakes.
