India have batted quite well to be honest.

You're still not arbitraged though. Because if a draw occurs you just get your money back.
On Betfair if a draw occurs you'll still win.

Anyone thinking maybe, just maybe, we might win this

Tbh, I should start playing poker. Although only finishing fourth in the CricSim poker tournament probably isn't a glowing endorsement, even though it had 40 odd people in it, because it was CricSim.
You will soon learn to blame it on the var1Ance.I've always found it amazing that you don't tbh. Would expect you to love it and also be pretty good. But I'm not sure whether you have an impulsive-gambler side or not. Having one is a pretty huge disadvantage.

Nah, Double Result is a different market to Draw No Bet. Double Result lets you bet on two results at once, which is really just the same as betting against the third result. Unlike actually betting on the other two results separately, it doesn't take the bookies' margin into account twice. They don't actually have that market up now because India are so unlikely to win or I'd be able to show you.
I've found betfair actually have better odds in general, not just for laying, so I generally bet with them anyway when I can be bothered h4xing Australian live betting, but I don't agree with what you're saying.

Double result hey? I haven't bet with Bet365 in 2 years (barring Australian domestic cricket) so I had no idea that existed.
Betfair still markets itself on the ability to arbitrage. It's way simpler and calculates everything for you.
Of course the better odds too, even after betfair takes commission.

Indian fans:
What would you prefer:
Scenario 1:
India draws this test series and wins the World Cup
Scenario 2:
India wins this test series 2-1 and doesn't win the World Cup (but still put in a strong performance).
Curious considering the commentators are talking about the WC now.

Man, the way we started it was clear that was never the intention.
Harris is just frustrated.

Yeah, it's always been something I thought I'd enjoy but just haven't got around to getting into. I actually made a post about this on CricSim a week or two ago.

I definitely do like to gamble, but I don't think I'd call it impulsive given I record a four-figure profit every year on it.

Yes but the scenarios I'm giving you, losing this series isn't one of them. So it doesn't matter about where this match is at.
Normally I'd have said draw and WC win.
But the excitement I had yesterday when it looked like we could win was possibly the most excited I've been in a long time as a cricket fan.
Not sure if a WC win would reach the heights I imagine I'd have felt if we won.
Think I'd trade WC for a series win here. This isn't me being a test elitist snob. I just really wanted to win in SA.
No contest. Scenario 2. I'll throw in the '83 World cup if that guarantees a victory in England later this year.
