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.

Well Ruth the last two that I mentioned won their next race15/2...and 5/4...both were available at better odds than the returnedwhen you say every horse has its daythat is a very fair assumptionso using that as your starting point and to simplify mattersselect one type of horselook for an unexposed improver off a low markpossibly run only seven times in two seasonsfirst five races tailed off out the back? maybe his last two races have been 6th of 16 btn. 3L running onand 5th of 14 btn 2 but with a slow startand hampered in running.
Now on bare form figures he would be declared unplaced in all seven races and will be rated as suchbut we know that does not tell the total storythose that always know the total story have the edgethose that have the edge gain that small margin available
Now I dont want to bore you with Race ClassTracks left hand/right hand or straightgoingblinkersdraw biasbooked Jockeysstable JockeysApprenticesTrainer formhorses that sweator claustrophobic with stallsand so onbut it is all part of the equation Ruthonce solvedyou have the edge!I play to solvemost of my horse are tradableeven yesterdays runner was around fourth favourite in most morning papersbut around 12-30 Betfair was showing him as fav. at 6.6.

so the moral of this story is, if tabby gives a horse, dont back it in this race but its next race, where he has a very good track record of getting winners.

Maybe you can let us know when firetrap is running again.

Moral of the story isI spend up to 12 hours a day compiling and updating my filesDYOFR!

Ah, come on Tabby.

I envy you working in the racing industry. I lover racing but dont get much time for it. Use to love point to pointing and the evening meetings at Sandown, Kempton and Epsom. Must get there this summer

The Point circuit has a great followingI have friends that have in the past had horses with Phil York and his FatherPhil is a great bloke...a legend in the point-to-point World and still a good Jockey

Perhaps Haljaferia Beverley 2-30 might be worth a piss takeI have it as a 7/2 chanceBetfair have it at 8.8 and I have backed it a lot higher...it will probably win next time outso dont back itthen I wont get the grizzle

Didnt get a chance to look at that one, was out with the dogs. Remind me next time.

Before you ask Ruth>

They backed down Haljaferia to 6.2 traded someand laid Deauville Flyer for a Long unup on the race put Haljaferia in your bookneeded the runrated 71.it ran in the Group 3 Queens Vase Royal Ascot last Juneand Jeffbuy a notebook!

Oh dear, not another donkey, i believe theres a shortage of donkeys on blackpool beach, maybe the donkey would make more for its owner doing a few kiddie rides up and down the beach?

Im just teasing ,before you have a strop,

An inflatable jockey was riding an inflatable horse for an inflatable trainer and an inflatable owner, for the first time over the jumps.

Leading easily after the last fence, he pulls up too early and two horses go past him.

After the race the jockey was so mad he stuck a pin in the horse, then he stuck a pin in the trainer and then another one in the owner.

He was called in front of the Stewards where he stuck a pin in himself.

The Stewards said to him, 'Not only did you let the horse down, the trainer down and the owner down, you have also let yourself down.'

RuthI have some association with Donkeysbut not in the way you are stating?

Execthat night the jockey went homeconsoled himself by riding his inflatable ladyand won the race by a nice length!there was a stewards inquiry for misuse of the whipbut they have now weighed in?

A number of interesting points on todays racingI give you one thought.Sandown 3-25...a 1 maiden fillies stakes
There are a couple of interesting runnersFantastic Cuix and Ship's Biscuit Cuix is trained by Cumani and ridden by FallonBiscuit is trained by Stout and ridden by Mooreboth last run in a Kempton maiden last Novemberwhere Cuix finished fourth to a Cecil horseand btn. Just over 2LBiscuit was a place further backbtn. Another L.the second horse that day was Clarvoyancea John Gosden runner that went on to win his next race by 6Land then went on to run Pipette 3L in a class twoCecils runner has not been seen out again but has an Oaks and an Ascot Coronation stakes entrywow!
Now Cumani always leaves a little to work on with his runnersStout usually has his runners spot onso on their last running Fantastic Cuix who beat Ship's Biscuit should have the greater scopehere is where it becomes interestingBetfair have Fantastic Cuix at 23 and Ship's Biscuit at 4.1..Ill leave you all to do the mathand work out the value.

Oh crumbs.

Just about a few left if you rush!

Enjoying the sun today tabby and watching my AVN climb towards a tenner.
