How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Thanks for the advice Scrip, very helpful.

'I was speaking to a psychologist on Monday and he said that when you make decision that goes against you there are physiological changes that raise the prospect that you will repeat the error again shortly afterwards.'

I think this hits it bang on the nail.

Blondie, click here and key in 3L3QNUVKN as the promotion code. You'll get 20 after you have placed bets totalling 100 :-)

9VLQNEFHH but as someone has already used my number I am willing to concede to others.

Harlosh - 10 Feb 2005 18:51 - 1081 of 10502

Oops. sorry Kayak.

I see the FTSE finished at 5000.0. Is that up or down? :)

Fundamentalist - 10 Feb 2005 20:01 - 1083 of 10502

if you havent looked at duckworth lewis before - be prepared to be amazed at how much detail goes into deciding what a total should be in a rain affected cricket match

Found some good academic material on it. Will have a read up on it. It will have to go behind Tennis for the moment.
