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.

Haljaferia surprise fav and being backed on betfair

Been trying to arb a few donkeys this week Jeff and it's suprising how many winners have been indicated just by the odds being lower on betfair than with the regular bookies.

Not done many so sample size is rubbish therefore not reading too much into at this moment in time.

Laid Alice Alleyne at 7 on betfair and bet it at 8 at one of the bookies. Free money as far as I can see , anyone else do it ? .... enter Kayak :-)

Sorry, I'm studying... I'm behind enough having done the election.

Must be hard at your age mate , brain cells decaying , wife , kids , etc.

Good luck :-)

It is, actually! Thanks.

Haljaferia was out again today and this time won atn 13/2. I had a bit on at 9s on Betfair so got my money back from previous runs.

One of the horses Tabby gave us that lost is running tomorrow. Previous experience is that they win next time out so might be worth following.

Haljaferia 18:00 Doncaster on Saturday

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

Be better off just laying them when he first backs them Jeff :-)

Loaded up with four experienced players in the openhopefully will be able to trade with them over Sat/Sun.might even have the winner amongst themPhil Mickelson Vijay Singh Lee Westwoodand Ernie Els.these four will be able to take the pressure and the predicted testing conditions DYOR.also had a very small punt on Colin Montgomery his last chance I fear!with a 150+ runners good odds to be had!

A couple for you Tabby, source should be obvious

Sat 5:05 Newb Graylyn Ruby
Tue 8:10 Bang Inmate

Will keep an eye out Jeff , tabby need something of value for tomorrow to match off so don't give a toss if it loses ... any suggestions ?

Jeffwent to bed at two up at sixlot of play to doI guess the horses came from Darren Swantonevaluated the race earlier and made it a 6/1 chance pretty much in line with the trade papers.will look closer later if time?I notice he has an unraced 3 year old filly on the same Leicester card?

JeffI have quickly looked at Graylyn Rubyslightly put off by changing surface from his last run/winnormally has a big effect one way or another on performancestill make Ruby a 6/1 chancemy best value in what is a very difficult race to assess is Swordsmanwithout much confidence this 8 year old has been hurdlingchasing.and running on the flatis tongue tied and visored all within the last six weeksnot a path recommended for successbut at around 17-18s has run on firm ground three days ago and showed a little promise I believe this to be around an 10/1 shotI hope your selection wins as I wont be involved in the raceIt could easily end up favourite?

Actually I also like swordsman, so might have an EW on it

Inmate was pulled out of the bangor race as the going was not to hi liking. Won very easily yesterday at 11/2. Expected to be a nice horse for a small stable.

I did notice Jeffwon by over 20 lengths as well as being eased downhe obviously likes to hear his hooves rattlelifetime best performance as a 9yooff 91

Jeff.write this in your notebookTim Easterbys Captain Dunnehe ran 2 lengths behind Borderlescott yesterdayshowed blistering pacehe is improving far quicker than the handicapper can keep up this yearbut only just gets home over 5fI would like to see him held up midfieldand give him a target last 100 yards.please DYOR but I will back blindly for at least the rest of this season.probably shot myself in the foot early prices betfair? Got a punt for free yesterdayand was only just run out of a Group 2

Tabby
I see Captain Dunne is entered at York tomorrow. Whats your thoughts on its chances.
