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.

i think i backed barca at 34 and now there 10's

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:28 - 1645 of 10502

i backed just b4 2nd goal for barca

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:28 - 1646 of 10502

but 1 bet went at 91pence and the other 3 something

jeffmack - 08 Mar 2005 20:32 - 1647 of 10502

Chelsea got to attack as Barca go thru on away goals

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:33 - 1648 of 10502

Copper, Click on my bets and tell me what you have there.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 20:34 - 1649 of 10502

copper

go into the my bets page. at the bottom there is a box called average odds - tick that and you will know the average price you backed at

spot on jeff - but not the way they are used to playing - second half could be interesting

united look like they need to get more of the ball - dont appear to be causing milan too many problems

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:34 - 1650 of 10502

scrips when i backed them b4 they scored the 2nd goal(barca) it was not matched
but now it is saying that i am in profit 156.75?? Is that right

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:35 - 1651 of 10502

Give me a call before the second half starts. You have my number, I'm at my desk.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 20:36 - 1652 of 10502

copper

go to the my bets tab - it will list all the bets that have been matched

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:36 - 1653 of 10502

Make sure you are all square before the second half starts.

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:37 - 1654 of 10502

in my bets is says your odds:34, your stake 0.91,your profit 30.31:

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:38 - 1655 of 10502

and then underneath your odds 34, your stake 4.09,your profit 134.97

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:39 - 1656 of 10502

i tried to bet a fiver in one go

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:39 - 1657 of 10502

You backed Barca for 5 at 34, Well done!!

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 20:40 - 1658 of 10502

shall i green up at 10's?

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:41 - 1659 of 10502

If you lay Barca @ 9.6 with 17.71 you will win 12.71 whatever happens in the match and lose nothing.

Else you let the bet run and if Barca win you will win 134.97 but lose a 5 if Chelsea win or draw.

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:42 - 1660 of 10502

Currently to lay at 9 so Lay Barca 18.89 at 9 and 13.88 whatever happens.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 20:43 - 1661 of 10502

Or lay barca for a fiver, leaving 125 profit if barca win and no exposure to draw/chelsea win

Harlosh - 08 Mar 2005 20:44 - 1662 of 10502

The longer you leave it the more Barca's odds will drift if they don't score and the less you will get if you later decide to green up.

Maintain your discipline and green up. Learn now and start as you mean to go on.

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 20:44 - 1663 of 10502

First step at least is to decide if you want to let the bet run or cover it. I always cover. So to do that you just need to lay 5 on Barca at current odds.
