      Its not uncommon for them to take six figures action but you have to remember its like stock market. A guy would bet -130 for couple hundred thousand then bet the other side +200 to cover losses and if its not going as planned then they don't shy away from firing the other side at - number. And all this is possible is because the vig in these markets is extremely competetive specially when the fav is sliding down.
      Its also very common for bookies to go out and bet a side they like to even out the action or even in anticipation of action they might get. And all of this is done based on trust and credit, even overseas action and the settlement is done with a very unique system called 'hawala'.
      Correct Information. I am from India. Cricket is most watched , played sport in South Asia. Betting is not legal here therefore we have to take illegal betting route.

                You are underestimating Tigers. Uae has more of a shot of upsetting Zimbabwe than afghanis pulling an upset in my opinion. I'm gonna do more research on the game in a few but I really like tigers in this spot.
                The only reason they are priced at -350ish is because of their poor warm up games performance.

                  there price is -350 because this is not the pitch they play on, the kids/men of bengal are used to playing dead pitches in different asian conditions, theres more chance afghans win this than UAE, I respect your opinion but no way zimbabwe lose tomorrow conditions favour them and as they showed vs there neighbors there a good side.

                    Thanks mate, I know the start is a little crazy I don't recommend tailing all you need to do is slam that South Africa outright they have a very good chance, later on in the tournament we can pick a few solid winners

                          I think Afghans have a better chance in this one than the odds indicate. They have 2 good quicks that hit the deck hard and may upset the smaller statured Bangladeshis.
                          Canberra is a road and as recent results there show, it will come down to who gets the best of the batting conditions.
                          I think this is closer to a 50/50....going to have a dabble on the underdogs

                            bengals have the superior experience and talent I like the value but they are heavy favs for a reason, out of the two I give myself a shot with this one.

                              played it since I was a kid, love the sport followed and played throughout my life this tournament is entertainment for me not gambling, the only downfall is the time difference.

                              this is up there with fifa world cup for me no joke.

                                    I took your advice the other day and put a few bucks on SA. Didn't realize the tournament was so long mate.

                                              Bangladesh have sent their powerhitting batsman before more established batsman like shakib & rahim. But still they are playing very slow.

                                                Bookies still think Bangladesh are going to do this easily which is surprising.

                                                If Afghanistan could field they'd be looking even better they must of gifted them 10-15 or so.

                                                  Live odds are surprising to me. Even if Bangladesh get to 225-250, it still isn't a good enough total for this pitch.
                                                  There goes another wicket 119/4. I would hedge my Bangladesh bet if 5dimes offered live betting. Bengalis still -250 wth

                                                        That's just pressure, playing on big stage. Bangladesh will make the same fielding mistakes

                                                          Most of it isn't pressure just not enough effort. See that guy dive feet first at the ball! That was pure comedy.

                                                          Bangladesh starting to look likely for a decent total now. Death bowling has been the big difference between the minnows and the more accomplished sides so this will an interesting ending.
