How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40


ladder.gifBA_Logo.gif


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.

Hi everybody

Was on the course on Wednesday and have just "greened up" for the first time ever. Beside myself with contentment even though its only a fiver.

Scrip I'd buy you a drink if I wasn't so tight!

Fundamentalist - 26 Feb 2005 14:09 - 1391 of 10502

Stuart

congrats - the first of many no doubt

Fundamentalist - 26 Feb 2005 14:41 - 1392 of 10502

Scrip

i dare say you'll be happier with a point lol - second half has seen your keeper make 4 great saves and ours make one blunder

Fundamentalist - 26 Feb 2005 14:43 - 1393 of 10502

arsenal "scored" with last kick of the game but cole adjudged offside - would have been some worried layers

Afternoon to everyone,

Just managed to get online. I've had to reconnect and reconfigure an old PC. What a headache!

I've noticed quite a few additions to this thread so a warm welcome from me.

I've also noticed that the guy on the Baffleball box looks remarkably like Scrip!

Spent two days in bed following a visit to my Physio who seems to have wrecked the other side of my knee.
However it gave me an excellent opportunity to try out the racing and football trades. I managed to green up on all the football and most of the racing. After a panic trying to cover a loss, remembered to let the loss run and lo and behold it disappeared as Scrip indicated.
Still haven't got myself thinking in ticks yet so limited my stakes to 20 each.
Net after two days +15
So I hope this start is a good omen for the future.
Off to Capetown tomorrow to join a cruise so will be back in a couple of weeks

Anyone back Wales @ 15:1 or the drew @ 175:1! later fell to 8.8 to lay
Be good if Portsmouth could 1-1 at odds @ 85:1..

I am beta testing. Product is still not available at the moment.

B-P - 27 Feb 2005 11:59 - 1398 of 10502

Hi Scrip,
How long have you been testing bettingbots software ???
Is it fantastic/good /rubbish.
I note from their web site that they are realeasing the x-bot tommorow 28th. I am going to put you on the spot here.(lol) is it worth purchaseing.

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 13:38 - 1399 of 10502

I would wait for the moment as there are new products in the offing from other people. On that basis I would wait till all of them are out in the open and then you can cross compare them. I speak to all the leading software guys as I am a good test bed for their software. If anybody is going to break the software then I will!!

Scrip's

When you back a team on the footie if they score do you then lay them the sam amount you backed them with?

Harlosh - 27 Feb 2005 14:14 - 1401 of 10502

You do Blondie.

Fundamentalist - 27 Feb 2005 14:20 - 1402 of 10502

Hi all

any one else having probs with autobet pro not working properly this pm

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:21 - 1403 of 10502

Response time is dreadful with Betfair this afternoon. Anybody else experiance the same thing? Off to a good start but site is not refreshing quickly enough for me and putting my captial in peril so will wait a while till the response improves.

Fundamentalist - 27 Feb 2005 14:22 - 1404 of 10502

Scrip

i assume this is what is causing the prob with AB pro

Harlosh - 27 Feb 2005 14:23 - 1405 of 10502

No probs here for a change.

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:25 - 1406 of 10502

Everything I have used has suffered and on my redundant connection so looks like an issue out of my control. I am on BT Openworld fyi.

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:25 - 1407 of 10502

Some great movement out there as well. I'm gutted!
