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.

"There was a slowdown on Sunday for 10 minutes, that's all."
Hmmm?
I don't think he appreciates how big this problem is, or if he does, he isn't being honest about it.

Just had a nice touch on Kavi at Wolverhampton - usually a hold up horse the trainer stated on Attheraces just before the off that it would front run. Backed at 2.96 before the off and layed off at 1.6 in running - it was certain to shorten in price when out in front - nice!!!

What a Tennis match odds wise, Williams swings from 1.05/20 - Farina from 17.5/1.05. I was happy with + 300% at the time! over 1000% on the table!!!

Fundy - I was on a couple of horses this afternoon (Wolverhampton/Lingfield). Took 3.5 ticks as the favourite's odds came in pre-race. Later was caught out on another when its trend reversed after I laid it. It didn't win so no cost to me. In that race the winner had come in from 20 to 8 and the chart showed 40 early on. Anyone suggesting horse-racing is on the level? The guys in the commentary room didn't see it coming but they noted the "large gamble for connections". Difficult to spot these steamers when they are down the bottom of the list!

Not sure what you mean Blondie. I use AOL as my ISP and have no difficulty using Internet Explorer for Betfair.

Hmmm, Man City seemed to have laid down and died. So much for getting some help to escape relegation. No hopes.

Over 2.5 goals currently trading at 1.21, Feels like there will be more goals in the match doesn't it?

Before I start here, I hope I don't sound too patronising. This Internet game is a bit like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", in that it's easy if you know the answer, but even damned hard to get past the 1,000 level if you don't happen to know the answer.
When you have logged on to the Internet with AOL, minimise that browser window so that you now see your computer's Desktop once again.
Now launch another browser but this time, with the AOL window open but minimised, use Internet Explorer and launch it from either the icon on the Desktop or via All Programs at the Start button. Use this IE browser to access Betfair and I think you should be OK.
By the way, you can launch other IE browser windows too and even have several open at the same time - and at the same time as you have the AOL browser window open too.
I guess you could say doing it his way, how you are surfing the internet but with AOL as only your 'ISP connection' and not with AOL as your browsing method.

OK, More of that in the second from Man city please.
Beginning to regret giving up the sports package on sky. Just tried the five live commentary from channel 855 compared to the streaming over the web. Appears to be about 20 seconds behind.
