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.

Typical response from their helpdesk, tho im surprised they didnt ask you to delete your cookies first

Most people whove had probs with IE on betfair are usually on version 6, have you upgraded to version 7? If not id try that

Also worth trying going to the homepage, changing the location then changing it back to English

Thanks Fundy

I am using IE 7. Everything is in proper English now. Maybe they have fixed it

back up again

Betfair being down this afternoon cost me 98.80, instead of a 101 greened up profit on the Arsenal v Man-U game (layed the draw after 1st Arsenal goal) @ 3.44
after goal 2 the odds were approx 7.5 (whilst their site was down!) by the time betfair was up and running Man-U were level, odds back down to 2.3. With only approx 15 mins remaining was time to 'red up'! and recoupe my losses on the Horses
which I did, 13 in running lays from 14:30 till 15:55 all profitable. A frustrating day but all ended well in the end up 10% on the day...

fundy ---- no swearing please (lol)
chartist --- well done with your in running lays --- cant wait for the instructions in book.

B.P : Dont ask about Sun trading!!! > lay @ 14 drifted to 50 and came in!!! ouch, lay @ 32 came in! not my best day. Mon 3 trades 3 losses!!!

I guess my 'luck just ran out' ! It had to happen sooner or later!!

You all happy now!!!

betfair down again :-(
tum te tum ...
yawn!

Clowns. Just during the BB highlight show as well :(

betfair back.. but sky coverage of mexico chile stopped for a while.. and market suspended .. scary few moments as trading under 2.5s

Three times this week. They messed up the suspension of a race earlier today as well. Not a good show really is it? I'm in to see them next week so will give them some grief.

scrip after the commisson increase you would think the service would be better, all you get is a message on the service page saying sorry, not good enough.
iam lucky i can use betdaq for horse racing.
