If so, by how much? How does this compare to my par score of 230? With these answers how would I now price the chances of the West Indies?<BR/><BR/>All these questions would need to answered for me to decide what action to take.<BR/><BR/>The important point to make is that all of these questions I'd try to answer/predict before making my first trade. The more what-if's I cover the less surprises I find.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>MarkMark Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898989140075138851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265927762768459243.post-38319353354062800262007-03-15T23:15:00.000+00:002007-03-15T23:15:00.000+00:00Hi Mark,Good start to the world cup for you! Unfor...Hi Mark,<BR/>Good start to the world cup for you! Unfortunately I screwed it up a bit on this match but managed to recover losses the next day on the football and cricket. I was just after a bit of advice - suppose you'd've put on the £235 and WI had then messed up and allowed Pakistan back in the game a bit and the odds had shot up - what would you do then? Stay in and hope WI pulled it back or cut your losses and trade out for a definate loss but then try to make it back? Just wondering as I don't have much (any!) experience trading cricket so any advice would be useful. I've managed to make small profits over the past two days but I'm very wary of making the same mistakes as I did in this game again. Hope you didn't get let down by the Irish draw today! It certainly cut my profits down a bit!<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Clive<BR/>(email me if you'd rather than posting comments - clivechester at hotmail.com)Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147565104860721563noreply@blogger.com
