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.

Kayak, thanks. Yours seem to score perfect 10s!!

Copper. That is what I had to do to open an account. I didn't think there was a choice to be honest :)

Bones, the Tracert tool on Windows 2000 seems to produce each number rounded to the nearest 10ms, I've never worked out why. An ADSL modem/router is faster than a USB modem, which probably accounts for your higher numbers.

Good trace Copper and faster than Bones'. You are also not going via the US and should not therefore have problems.

What about mine Kayak, what does that tell ya??

Well i should'nt have but hav erung them anyway and they said to send docs and they will sort it. Bit worried i think!?

About people on AOL being from the US....Fraud an all that maybe

I think it's more to do with US residents not being allowed to gamble on the internet.

Anyone on the Arsenal game tonight. I layed the Draw (3.4) hoping to greenup. I was oh so lucky with the Norwich/ManC game last night. Did the same thing. Layed the draw and midway through the first half had to go out only to come back to find it won. i don't think I'll do that again.

D.

Keeping well clear of the Saints match tonight. Too much emotion involved. Already 1 - 0 down. :-(

Like I say too much emotion 10 mins gone and 1 - 1.

I hate penalties!!!!!

especially when you finish the game with 3 centre halves and 3 full backs on the pitch, oh and a dodgy keepr lol

Not had a good night. Was banking on an Arsenal goal.

Take that back - i love penalties and all hail the dodgy keeper

lol

Is racing at Wetherby off?

whyall,
PUNTERS will have to endure a blank day on the jumps front after both of today's meetings were cancelled due to the wintery weather.

Folkestone were first to call off their meeting early this morning while Wetherby soon followed suit, abandoning their fixture at 9.30am after unexpected snow hit the West Yorkshire venue overnight.

Mare! This last month has been a very poor one for the horse racing market.

Same sorry question I pose today at 12:30, Anybody else having problems with Betfair? Seems to have gone down. Bad form Betfair, Bad form.

Now back, An intermittant drop there.
