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.

"Scrip - Have you any stats on footie 'correct score' odds"

As those at the course yesterday could testify, I am Mr Sad when it comes to football stats. I can work out what would happen but the liquidty on the correct score market is not high enough for me to warrant a strategy there yet. So I haven't looked. I may have a nose later after the horses.

TPO - Thanks for your input, I have the odds for the Barcelona v Chelsea game, at ko the 1-1 odds were 7.8/8, after Chelsea went 1 up the 1-1 went down to 4.2/4.3 @ 20:24, n by @ 21:16 down to 2.28/2.3 when score 1-1. worth watching!

3.50 at Wolverhampton - what a great race to trade - the 3 principals all had large moves one way or other (caught 2 of 3)

"after Chelsea went 1 up the 1-1 went down to 4.2/4.3"

You would expect that because they were the away team. It was also expected to be a low scoring match.

Scrip - Mr Sad! as we say 'up north' theres nowt wrong with makin brass from footie stats. If you could have a look later that would be great, off to work now will look in as 4/5am! tia...

Just looking at the 16:15 odds. Is Bob Bob Bobbin a motorbike or is it that all the other horses have got three legs ?

Blondie - 25 Feb 2005 16:28 - 1357 of 10502

Scrip's,

Should of told ya i was Met Police before i met you at the seminar
then i could of told you all about Vice in exchange for extra tuition!!! :-}

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 16:36 - 1358 of 10502

Bob Bob Bobbin almost lost it there. Hilarious, Jockey looking over the wrong shoulder as the nearest horse was racing up the other side. Won it, but only just. Coudln't stop laughing. The look on his face!

Bones - 25 Feb 2005 16:36 - 1359 of 10502

Had a go at the 16.15. Trend of Bob Bob Bobbin coming in. Scalped it 4 times in that direction, one wrongly and had to ditch. Took a net 3 ticks and greened up. Profit after commission 2.01. Hee hee. It's important to start at these little amounts. Better to get used to the trading emotions at riskless levels than panic!

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 16:38 - 1360 of 10502

Blondie, The guys were great, They gave me a little tour of their section at Charing cross and we ended up doing most of the meeting in the canteen. Some idiot of a delivery driver had wedged the security gate open with a toilet roll. The DC who showed me out was not impressed.

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 16:39 - 1361 of 10502

Chartist will have a nose tonight and report back.

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 16:39 - 1362 of 10502

Well done Bones.

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 17:04 - 1363 of 10502

Not a day for favourites it would appear based upon that last race at Warwick.

Bones - 25 Feb 2005 17:42 - 1364 of 10502

Thanks Scrip!

Fundamentalist - 25 Feb 2005 19:37 - 1365 of 10502

Anyone following the world matchplay golf?

Having a good time - i laid woods and singh and both have been knocked out. Have backed mickelson - tempted to green up but letting it run for now

bakko - 25 Feb 2005 20:17 - 1366 of 10502

Well done Fundy,

I was tempted to do the same thing with Woods at the outset but bottled out last minute.

Mickleson's form is on a high at the moment. Apparently, he has a new driver and admits himself that he's been playing exceptionally well. He's won the last 2 PGA tournaments coming into this Matchplay. I lost some money laying him off at the last PGA!

Please DYOR though.

Fundamentalist - 25 Feb 2005 20:49 - 1367 of 10502

Bakko

the reason i layed singh and woods was due to the weather diminishing their strengths (the course has had to be significantly shortened)

was tempted to lay o'hern in this afternoons game but have left alone for now, made a few quid on the rugby league instead :-)

Fundamentalist - 25 Feb 2005 20:51 - 1368 of 10502

damn

forgot Sale were playing in the rugby tonight - theyre always a good side to lay when its international week!! as they are proving by getting stuffed by worcester

Fundamentalist - 25 Feb 2005 21:15 - 1369 of 10502

For anyone contemplating piling in on arsenal tomorrow am be aware that they are definitely without the following:

suspended - bergkamp, reyes, fabregas
injured - campbell, edu, hoyte

still should have plenty for southampton though - eh scrip ???

Scripophilist - 25 Feb 2005 22:07 - 1370 of 10502

A win would be most welcome. Arsenal can't win the league or Champions league so not much to go for. Don't want to get more injured players by fighting with a team desperate to avoid relegation?
