Cricket Trading:When To Lay?

1st ODI (India/Pak) P/L +£186.9
Monthly P/L +£186.9
Hello and good evening,
1st ODI was boring but managed to green on any result 120 in 1st inning and 60 odd in 2nd inning.Today I'm asking you two different questions in which i think the cricket trading basics/strategy hidden.
The questions are:
(Assuming both teams are almost equal and playing one-day match).
1.Team 'A' batting first and score 50/3 in 15 overs and odds are 1.3x of team 'B' (bowling team) as favourites.Same team at score 80/3 in 25 overs and odds are same eg. 1.3x of team 'B'.
So my question is when to lay team 'B' in 1.3x (bowling team).

2.Second question is Team 'A' bat first and scored 277/8 in 50 overs.Team 'B' is chasing and score is 148/2 in 30 overs and odds are 1.3x of team 'B' as favourites.Same team at score 178/3 in 35 overs and odds are 1.3x
So again question is which one is better lay of team 'B' who is batting team in this case in 1.3x.
I will post my answers with reasons to these questions in next post.
Waiting for your answer/comment.
Good luck!

hi dip
could you please explain the positions you took in odi between india and pakistan, as india never reached 2.2+ in first innings, which was the price you indicated to wait for.

cheers john

Hi John,Thanks for visit and comment.
My plan for 1st inning was(1st ODI India/Pak) to back bowling team in 2.2+ odds for good trading opportunity in start (1 day before as i mentioned it in prematch post).And it doesn't mean that i'm fixed these odds.There is always some flexibility inplay according to condition.Pakistan batting first and score was 20+ in 3 overs from memory and India was available 2.1+ so my thinkling was it is good odds to back because it is because of market over reaction.
