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.

Yes I agree, such opprtunities are few and far between but I certainly won't miss out again. I'm hoping that when it comes up again it'll arrive in threes! LOL

I'm on the Barca v Atl Madrid game. Backed the draw after Madrid scored after 2 mins. Managed to get 4.1. Really strange cos the odds are coming in for the draw instead of drifting. Could have laid at 3.15 at one point. Not watching it but can only assume Barca are all over them. I'm sticking with the draw but might end up regretting it.
Had a funny feeling Chelsea might struggle today but most likey would have backed them but went out for a meal instead. Good decision.

Odds on a draw will usually come in if a weak away team takes the lead. Subject somewhat to the way the match progresses.

I've laid off now and greened up for a small profit. I'll kick myself if Barca score now. Had a great run for my money though

Chartist,
Are you 'gambling' on those games or do you know what's going on in the matches?
