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.

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..

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.

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!!

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.

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!

bakko - 27 Feb 2005 14:28 - 1408 of 10502

Loading has been very slow and autorefresh keeps terminating.

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:30 - 1409 of 10502

Just did a phone around and its affecting everybody, or at least every body I phoned. The consiracy theorist will have a field day.

Blondie - 27 Feb 2005 14:31 - 1410 of 10502

Can someone explain the greening up process again for me if that's ok??

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:37 - 1411 of 10502

Blondie drop me an email and I will send you a spreadsheet.

bakko - 27 Feb 2005 14:40 - 1412 of 10502

Just greened up on Newcastle. Could have done it earlier but had connection problems

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:46 - 1413 of 10502

Just joined you. Some funny money for a moment there on Newcastle somebody laid 90k at 1.20's, Maybe trying to dig themselves out of a hole?

Scripophilist - 27 Feb 2005 14:52 - 1414 of 10502

Site seems to be back to normal.
