Kevshat's EW Top Bats

[kevshat]

I've been thinking of doing a little cricket top batsman system for a while now and given that we've got so much cricket on over the winter now is a good time to start it. Basically, 3 bookmakers offer top batsman with EW terms. Boylesports who go 1/4 the odds 1st 3 and Ladbrokes & Coral who both go 1/5 1st 3 although Boylesports don't always go EW. The plan is to paper trial the top 3 runscorers in either team in a series going into each innings but I will only bet if the odds secure at least a refund on just a place (5/1 at Corals/Ladbrokes and 4/1 Boyles). I'll do this over all international cricket be it one day, tests or twenty20 however one stipulation is there have to have been 3 innings in the series before I bet so that the run lists take a bit of shape. Not sure how many bets we'll get but we'll give it a go. Remember this is just a paper trail for now, I'll continue with my own almost logical bets in the relevant cricket threads in the other sports forum. I'll start with a bank of 500pts and each bet will be 5pts EW.
