Would be intriguing to know how much of that is actual positions vs traded in and out volume. Also how much of it comes from Betfair and how much via the Asian white labels.

India has, I believe, recently banned online gambling, with measures in place to punish banks and transaction providers which facilitate payments. I thought cricket volumes might drop off as a result, but that Asia Cup match suggests otherwise.

Nice work.
So the profit to traded volume % for your trading on that market is 0.9%. A very broad assumption I know, but if you apply that ratio across the whole market then £105m traded volume would equate to less than £1m actually changing hands, and only about £20k commission for Betfair.
Another one for you James. large drop in volume.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Sun Oct 12, 2025 5:15 pmNice work.Emmson wrote: ↑Sun Oct 12, 2025 5:08 pmNo I don't mind.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Sun Oct 12, 2025 5:04 pm

My understanding is that a large percentage of cricket volume is position taking, this is relative to racing/football.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Sun Sep 28, 2025 8:45 pmWould be intriguing to know how much of that is actual positions vs traded in and out volume.

If you make iron clad assumptions On Betfair Exchange you will get caught with your pants down. But
Pakistan women on course for a historic World Cup win v England women. Rain could put a kibosh on it though.
Year round sport, different formats, different genders, cricket remains a very great sport to trade on Betfair.

I will draw a 1/3rd of my guaranteed return in the match odds from the CMM now that a no result looks very likelyEmmson wrote: ↑Wed Oct 15, 2025 4:59 pmIf you make iron clad assumptions On Betfair Exchange you will get caught with your pants down. But

This might make you feel better, Emmson:
I traded the Sri Lanka vs NZ match odds market yesterday during the innings break. Every entry was a good one and I built up a decent green. Then the rain started and I moved to the CMM where I was knocked about all over the place for 90 minutes. Honestly. you think you know what you're doing and then you get a reminder to the contrary.
With the no result, the green disappeared and I was stuck with the loss in the other market. Minimal financial damage, but a bruised ego and a nagging feeling that a good opportunity was wasted.
One-third's not too bad. Hope you're trading well!
