How would you like to trade a market where you get large regular price swings every 10 minutes in the afternoon, seven days a week. A
market where all prices are set purely by supply and demand, few transaction costs, no middle men and you only pay commission if you win? Where you can freely act as a market maker and where you have direct market access and where you can create a spread for others to take?

Betfair has revolutionised the betting market and created an open platform for exchanging risk on sports events. This market is now viewed much more like a traditional financial risk market than an old fashioned betting market. Smart users have realised that there are huge opportunities on Betfair because they can buy and sell risk in much the same way they would in a normal financial market but without the burden of cost or the restricted access that is usually associated with traditional financial markets.

Think Germany look more threatening and can't see Portugal scoring through Pauleta, currently laying Germany though after a bit of backing on the draw. Will green up soon methinks.

Agree with you that Germany look the more threatening but it's quite an open game considering it's supposed to be a meaningless dead rubber.

Just pulled my stake out at 1.16 and will lay it at a shorter price.

Superb goal by Schweinsteiger

phew, good job i had greened up!!

Pete...Hope you weren't caught out by that goal

Good timing.

I was about to wait till 60mins to lay unders but goal came 3 mins too early :-(

Nice goal, shame it was an own goal!

Portugal getting what they deserve out of this WC - sweet f%$k all :-)

Superb name, that - Schweinsteiger :)

football isn't for girls :-)
unless they are streaking of course :-))

Chocs...Nice to see you on here. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong but I think it translates to "Climbing Pig!"

What do you mean pth - it's a girlie game after all :P

Now that you mention it, bak - it's a pig mounter :)

The Pig scores again

It is the way the Portuguese play it!!

Have you all been cleaned out or has everyone moved to another thread ??????????

Cheeky sod!

Fundy, Baks and Harlosh are using Updata Messenger to chat to each other, hence the lack of posts.

I see Betfair is down yet again today. They are really proving to be most unreliable and quite rubbish actually. I haven't looked at the rules, but surely if the site collapses and you have a matched bet in the market on a short term event (hosses), all such bets should be declared void. Fortunately, I do not have any bets in the market during this latest site failure, but if I had, I would be very very pissed off :-(
