How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)

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.

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:07 - 1687 of 10502

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:08 - 1688 of 10502

people might finally accept that the premiership isnt the strongest league

to be honest, until the english sides play less games (on a par with the continental sides) then they will always struggle to compete on a level playing field - not sure that its the right thing for the premiership (especially the smaller clubs) but it will always count against the sides in europe

Click on settings next to view P&L and make sure P&L box is ticked.

Copper if you are green in equal amounts on all three you will be fine.

Harlosh - 08 Mar 2005 21:09 - 1691 of 10502

I can't bare to watch it anymore. They are a different class.
Just one thing I can never understand about English football is why, when they are paid up to 100,000 a week can they not pass a ball to their own team instead of to the opposition.

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:09 - 1692 of 10502

yep clicked settings middle box ticked

how thats not a penalty to milan for the keane handball ill never know

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:12 - 1694 of 10502

no im just in profit on barca

Harlosh - 08 Mar 2005 21:14 - 1695 of 10502

Don't know Steve, I've thrown my teddy out. I'm in a room without a TV. My wife won't put up with any more 'F'ing and jeffing.

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:14 - 1696 of 10502

You now only have half the profit available now on the match the odds have doubled against you already.

Divide the amount you are in profit by the lay price and lay that amount on Barca. You will then be green on the whole match.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:14 - 1697 of 10502

cant believe that barca are still prepared to keep the game so open

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:15 - 1698 of 10502

I guess its because they look more likely to score! Chelsea look like a non league side in comparison.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:16 - 1699 of 10502

John

the trick i learnt a few years ago was to have a tv in the bedroom with a separate sky connection - whenever the footie is on shes disappears upstairs and i can swear to my hearts content

ps barca just hit post

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:16 - 1700 of 10502

Or you could let it run Copper if you think Barca will win but they need to score two more goals.

Harlosh - 08 Mar 2005 21:17 - 1701 of 10502

Steve, good idea.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:18 - 1702 of 10502

chelsea have scored

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:18 - 1703 of 10502

Hope you are all green copper or you just blew some free money.

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:19 - 1704 of 10502

Tense finish now to the Chelsea match I guess.
