Test match and darts trading

Daily Result: £164.14

Most the profit came from the 2nd test between England and Pakistan which England wrapped up today (Day 3!) in convincing style.

To be honest the green was made during the few hours of Thrusday's action that I mangaged to watch. After Pakistan's collapse an England win was never really in doubt if the rain held off and that was reflected in England's price. So I kind of missed out on any chance of a really decent result by not seeing all of Thursday's action but still happy with the outcome. And great to see Harmison get some confidence back and Monty continuing to emerge.

Had a look in on the darts final tonight too. I used to trade the darts many moons ago but stopped because I had issues with the clock / picture delay. Anyway, I'd been paper trading a few matches recently after a few discussions about what it's like to trade darts these days and decided to try a few live trades tonight as it was the last chance for a while. Was only playing with £50 for a few legs just to test the water as it were. In theory it's a fantastic game to trade and should be nice and profitable for someone with my approach. Made just over £10 either result before leaving it and will probably take a closer look next time a televised tourament turns up. Enjoy watching the arrers anyway! So may well be worth picking up how to trade them properly again.
