This market allows you to be with or against a individual batsmen throughout a Test series.
If you believe someone will score more runs than their prediction you buy (go high) at the higher level of their prediction. If you think an individual will struggle and make fewer runs than their projection you sell (go low) at the lower level of the prediction.
Here's an example. In a typical three match Test Series, SportingIndex might predict that Ian Bell will score 200-210 runs. If you believed Bell would score more than that in the three matches you might bet high at 210 for the stake of your choice, in this case, say £2 a run. If Bell notches up innings of 46, 59, 21, 23, 0 and 101 in the three Tests, his total runs would have added up to 250. Had you gone high at 210 you would have made 40 times your stake: (250 - 210) x your stake = 40 x £2 = £80. But if he had only managed a total of 180 runs, the same bet would have lost you 30 times your stake: (180 - 210) x your stake = -30 x £2 = -£60.
