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.

I totally agree with you re last weeks decision being about viewers/money. I have argued all along that it was SC who put them through to boot camp and SC who insisted they make the final 12 and had sweet fa to do with what LW wanted.
The sing off last two weeks running has made a mockery of the whole sing off idea ... both weeks the worst act got through for the reason you stated as the judges couldn't / wouldn't do what they are supposed to do.
For this reason I've steered clear of betting on it.

Have a look at the price of Sabrina Washingtonhuge prices offered 70+ for small amountsshe is in a three way vote off with Jimmy White and Sam Foxif she escapes the public vote tonightthat price will be very tradableI dont think she can winas Gino DAcampo has more than a favourites chanceI have a good bet at nice prices on Kim Woodburn that I haveand will continue to tradebut Sabrina is a silly priceshe is a lovely girl with a great personalityand that little bit of luuuuvvve with Stuart will get her many votesa great girl.I think Jimmy might go tonightbut have made my bets on Sabrina...

Most punters on these reality shows believe only the obvious will happenif you swerve the obvious some fantastic odds present themselves.Sabrina was 7/4 to get voted out last night.and 75/1 to win the contestI did hint that no way was she going to go and is now 31/1 to win the contestcrazy?but thank you very much
The Xfactor tonight is difficult to find a value bet Lloyd is around 4/5 to goDanyl just under 3s and 8/1 bar the twoI already hold good punts on Danyl and Joseph to win the competition at far greater pricesand will stickLloyd will almost certainly be in the bottom twoand with Walsh and Cowell almost a banker to vote against himit will be hard this week to look elsewherenot odds-on for me

Danni in fairness always saves the best singer so Lloyd really looks up against it.

Gino DAcampo is now trading at 4/6 to windont say much for his six rivalsthen there is the possibility that he might be unwell with jungle conditionsand have to leavewho knows?a strong favourite I agree but a crazy short priceand around 5/4 can be achieved coupling up the other six playersyou can also get 10s bar twoand with the knowledge that George has spoken sincerely about walking out.his 20% of the book would then have to be factored infood for thought?
Apologise for getting the format wrong on XfactorI did not realise that it was a total vote result SaturdayGod bless ya the outcome was good

Sabrina is currently 1/2 for elimination tonightwith Justin at 7/4...the winner market also points to her leaving tonightI have traded her and still stand to lose money if she goesbut?at over 80/1 to win the Jungle and with only five other runnersI have been nibbling with a little more hard earned lolif she makes it tonight her odds will be slashed by around 60%giving instant successand a strong position I believe she is odds against leaving tonight and disagree with the marketstill tight though? I have backed Kim from the beginningand traded so do have more than a saverGeorges departure has helpedand if Gino gets a stomach bugnot too seriousthings would look very sweetGino has touched 2/7 todaythis is light hearted fun and earning at the same timefor the serious postersplease dont grizzlejust squelch!

Im A Celebrity odds are now around 2/13 Gino 87% of book11/2 the other three coupled 16% of bookGino and Kim are the only two that have 100% success rate with public votingJimmy the second fav at 13/1 was in the bottom two last night and behind Justin using current voting as the form line Justin is 31/1.Kim who I have held and traded from the beginning is 15/1...I will wait for one more elimination and review the situationif I have one?whoever is in the last two with Gino surely cannot be larger than 8s?that would make Gino around 1/10...

Thanks Exec.
The final of Jungle tonight>
With the departure of Justine the book remains exactly the same on Geno 2/13...imo the majority of Stuarts voters went to Genobacked up by the severe shortening of his price yesterdayJustin followersI believewill again mostly move to the Italian Stallion with his slightly camp sideon a head to head Kim has consistently beaten Jimmyin fact like Genoshe has an unbeaten record in avoiding the bottom twowe know these votes are in the bag! Question is how many first time or floating voters are participating tonight?I would imagine like previous yearsit will be a three way vote with the third place then announcedthe phone lines will then open up again with the last two contestants votes rolling over? At the moment Jimmy is 8.7% of the bookand Kim 8% in a 2.6% over-round bookI am going to hang on until the 3rd place is announcedthen bail out with hopefully a good returnGino will win!but you dont have to be a genius to work that one out

If Jimmy or Kim go first will Gino's price fall or do you think it has bottomed tabby ?
Not too familiar with the price action on these competitions , only ever follow BB but even then not the final night.
