1) The BLUE markets are my current two-way prices I am prepared to trade with you. Think my markets are too low then you BUY or if you think they are too high then you SELL. The RED numbers tell you how points are awarded for certain bets such as the Win Index. Example - on the Win Index you think India will finish as runner-up or higher then go ahead and buy India from me at 31 and if they make the finals you've won 9 pts (40 minus 31) or even better 29 pts if they win the whole thing (60 minus 31 pts). However, if they only make the Super 8 phase you lose 21 pts (10 minus 31) etc. 2) Here's the bit that makes this betting format exciting. Assume you bought at 31 and after that India go on a bit of a winning run and make the finals and I move their price to 51-54. You are able to lock in your profits by selling at 51 (thus making 20pts) or you could just run the bet to the end of WC of course risking that they lose and end up with just the 40 points. Make sense? You can buy and sell at any time, close out old bets, initiate new ones - the choices are endless. 3) When you trade specify how many $ you want to bet per point - maximum bet size is $100k and minimum bet size is $1k but check each market for exceptions e.g Win Index this time has max bet size of $150k per point. 4) All bets will be valued at the end of each day based on the prevailing prices - just like a share trading account. This way you always know exactly how much p/l you'd be left with if you closed out all your trades by buying and selling at the current prices. 5) The player that makes the most $ wins this league and all profit and loss to be added to your ICF account at end of the WC. 6) As market-maker I take other side of every bet placed. 7) Markets will be suspended during games and updated for fresh betting end of each day and remain open until before the start of next game the following day. 8) Betting to be suspended 30 minutes before toss of next match. Leave your bets here and trades will be accepted/rejected basis your time-stamp. All make sense? Don't fret, pick a side, have a think about whether I have undervalued it, or overvalued it and place your bets specifying your stake. EXAMPLE 'GOOSE - I WOULD LIKE TO BUY INDIA AT 30 PLS IN $5k PER PT'. OR 'GOOSE - I WOULD LIKE TO SELL PAKISTAN AT 20 PLS IN $3k PER PT'.

Why are there two numbers next to each betting market? The two numbers represent my two way price. You buy at the higher price and you can sell at the lower price. Sounds unfair? That's my perogative as tournament chief. I have to make money somehow whilst I'm taking the other side of your trades/bets. Think about buying and selling anything in life - e.g you tend to have to buy a car a bit higher then where you could sell to a dealer. In theory I have made the perfect price in India at 28-31 and I attract punters willing to sell at 28 and punters willing to buy at 31 leaving me with a handsome 3pt profit in the middle without taking any risk...that's the idea. Of course my prices are only my opinions and it's your job to identify opportunities to buy and sell. How can I sell if I have not bought it yet? You can buy or sell at any time - not a problem. If you felt Pakistan was a sure fire bet to not make it out of their group you could sell at 20 and collect 20pts (20 minus 0). That's the beauty of this format. Want to back a team and think I've UNDERPRICED them? Then you BUY. Want to bet against a team and think I've OVERPRICED them? Then you SELL. How does the Supremacy bet work? The Supremacy bet is quoted to cover both a result that's measured in terms of wkts and in terms of runs. The rules to remember are 1 RUN=1PT and 1 WKT=10PTS. So take Match 41 where I quoted 11-16. Along comes the toss and BRC field first, you know at that stage they will either win by wkts or lose by runs. If they win by 5 wickets the market settles at +50. If they lose by 35 runs the market settles at -35. Remember these markets are suspended before the toss occurs. Can we bet with fellow posters - or do we have to deal with just you? That is not currently allowed. If and when we get a critical mass of players with a good grasp of the spreadbet concept, peer-to-peer betting is something I might well explore. In the meantime, my spreads will be attractive e.g Win Index spreads will narrow as we progress through the games and also as we get more players on board. What's the point in selling Holland @ 1 - just to make 1 point? ? Some would say it's easy money. The fact that's there's still 1 point to be made indicates Holland have a very slim chance of making it to the Super 8. If they do qualify and get knocked out in the Super 8 they 'settle' at 10 precisely and the bet profit & loss gets marked off 10. Until a market settles, all bets are marked on the opposing side of the market i.e. sales are marked at the higher price and vice versa. What's the Bet Extravaganza - how do I play? This is a bunch of betting markets I offer on each and every game. Example - how many wides you think there will be in this match? My market is 9-11. Think there's going to be more than 11? Just go ahead and buy 11 and state your size in $k per wide. If total wides comes in at 15 you make (15 minus 11) times your stake per wide. Of course you can sell at 9, and same principles apply. You would lose (9 minus 15 ) times your stake per wide. Same concept as Win Index. So go ahead and bet on wides, run-outs, fours, sixes, etc for the next game. Example - GOOSE I WANT TO BUY WIDES AT 11 IN $25K PER WIDE. I sold Bangalore at 37 so why I have I lost money? Based on latest markets you are down -$185,000. Here's why. You sold RCB at 37 in $25k per point. To close that trade you'd have to buy at current price 46 so your profit and loss is (37 minus 46) times 25k = -$225k. You sold KPXI at 49 in $40k per point. To close that trade you'd have to buy at current price of 48 so your profit and loss is (49 minus 48) times 40k = +$40k. Add these two together and you have -$185k. -185k is just a measure of where you are valued right now given current markets - you haven't necessarily lost that money yet. Example - if you sold Satyam shares because you thought they were going bust but the next day the share price actually went up your stockbroker would send you a statement saying you were down right? But your trades are still open and Satyam might still go bust and you could still clean up. Or you could lose your bottle and buy them back higher and guarantee a small loss. If RCB and KPXI don't make the semis they will settle at 25 each and you'll make money. In the meantime the markets have moved against you but they are only MY markets and I might have them wrong. So if you are convinced RCB are not making the semis then go ahead and sell some more at 42! Do I have to place a new bet every day - are previous bets void? What if I want to change a bet? Your bets are not void, they stand forever, but of course you can place new bets in the opposite direction to close the bet and naturally that may well have to be at a different price. Try this - imagine you're trading shares - 8 different shares. You don't like the Mumbai share price so you sell Mumbai shares at 47. Then Mumbai loses to Deccan, Mumbai shares fall to 44, so you make money. You can buy back at 44 to realize that money, or you can hope they keep falling, or you can even add and sell some more at 44! Hope that makes sense - remember you're trading shares. I set the rules and the markets. The cricket matches provide the economic data ! Look at Lord's bet history. He sold DC in 15k per pt, then watched them win and decided to buy them at $30k per pt albeit at higher price. He is now net long $15k DC shares after cutting his losses and turning his bet strategy right round. The $/pt is confusing ! Ok first forget all concept of $. I have assigned points to each final ranking in the WC. e.g losing semi-finalist gets 20pts. Call it points, call it widgets, call it elephants or anything you like. I then set two-way markets in those points (or widgets). You can decide to buy or sell any team at any time based on the market I am quoting at that time. You can even have multiple bets open. Now, to make it more interesting, you can specify a stake i.e. how may $ per point (or widget). You trade on a two-way points market in a $ stake per point of your choice. Your running score will be stated in $. Where do you get your odds/markets from? I make them up. Just like you, I read the game, follow the points table, monitor injuries, and set my prices accordingly. One needs a firm grasp of cricket and probabilities. I can get it wrong though. Of course I'll skew my prices if I start to accumulate large positions on one team e.g. I almost certainly underpriced Bangalore at 33-37 and Shane was quick to exploit that by trading $75k per point at 37. I've moved Bangalore a lot higher now :-| The tournament started a few days ago - is it too late to play? You can join in at any time ! In theory you could place one single bet on the last day and win the league.

Cheers. I'll also BUY RUNS-OFF BRACKEN 1ST ODI @ 38 (80K) Although would still love an e/r poll (as after all, it's quite possible for a bowler to be absolute shyte and produce a 4 over spell for 33 runs and not be bowled again once his skip loses faith)
Well, thats prolly the reason the markets are on the lower side, I thought about the E/R, but the Market Flexibility there is very limited, We would almost be dealing with decimals, however i'll try and get one up for the next ODI.

i still dont understand how it works :((
are u serious? anyways,u see two numbers on each market.u sell on the lower one n buy on the higher.for example the market for total sixes in the series is 42-45.if u think theres gonna be less than 42 sixes,u sell @ 42 @whatever price u want(the max is 100K).If u think theres is gonna be more than 45 sixes,u buy at 45 @ the price u want.if u buy at 45 @ say 100k n there are 50 sixes,u win (50-45)X 100k=500k.but if there r 40 sixes,u lose(45-40)x100k=500k got it,mate?

it is the market for the margin of Aus's victory over England.one point for every run n 10 pts for every wicket Aus wins by.it is 8-18.if u think Aus will win by less than 8 runs or (or think that Eng will win),u sell Aus supremacy @ 8 @ ur price.if u think Aus will win by more than 18 runs or 2 wickets,u buy Aus supremacy@ 18@ ur price
