Twenty20 Finals and our Prematch Homework

I am glad that blog is recieving good response.Many asked me that do i trade only in free lays.My answer to this question is that laying any selection means you are actually backing others and seeing value in them and free lay is term in which you are assuming that any selection which you layed is reached at point from where chances of that selection to go upward is more than downward.It is a golden rule of trading.So in free lays you are actually backing others but with a different approach than simple "Lay"
I was not involved in recently played pro40 matches.But after seeing scorecard and historic odds of match played between Hampshire and Nottinghamshire i must say there was plenty of free lay opportunities when Hampshire chasing 214 in reply.Hampshire opening was very good and at 88/0 there odds was 1.04
I like and wait for these situations.Although i might enter in that after fall of first wicket and then lay Hampshire at 1.09 because some gate must be opened.This match again proves our theory to lay chasing team in low odds.


Well now we come to our main topic of today that is Twenty20 Finals. Generally market is very volatile in these matches and early short odds of any team is good for lay and it should be basic strategy for these matches.It is my personal opinion that teams are almost equal in this format of cricket.Brief look at

1.Venue:Pitch type,D/N effect,Chasing records.All these can be find at cricinfo.com
2.Early odds

3.Market mood

4.Key players

5.Money management


6.Weather
Well in brief market mood is to go with Lancashire.And i'm hopeful to find free lays in Lancashire match and again my strategy will be lay them in low odds if comes while they batting/chasing.
I will try my best to update inplay.
Good wishes to all.
