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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

134.97 = 4.09 @ 34's + 0.91 @ 34's is the other bit of that 5 matched.

If you put it like that Scrip, think I'll have a small wager on Barca now.
