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.

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

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

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.

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:19 - 1705 of 10502

Just greened up on chelsea

Scripophilist - 08 Mar 2005 21:20 - 1706 of 10502

I'm going to grab a beer and watch the finish in comfort (and without any money at stake!)

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:21 - 1707 of 10502

well if they lose i have not lost anything and this is my first time of betting so i only done small amounts to get the hang of it!

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:21 - 1708 of 10502

and i'm green on the lyon match!!

Copper - 08 Mar 2005 21:22 - 1709 of 10502

what a game tho!!

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:35 - 1710 of 10502

Fair play to chelsea

Fundamentalist - 08 Mar 2005 21:37 - 1711 of 10502

To quote the commentator "theyll fear no one now" - he might revise that once hes watched the milan game

Diego - 09 Mar 2005 09:30 - 1712 of 10502

Any views on the Arsenal match tonight. My heart says it's a walkover, my mind says becareful (you've been bitten before), my spirit says walk away.

You have to fancy home wins for all the matches tonight. But quite what will pan out is difficult to figure. I imagine Munich will shut up shop and try and frustrate Arsenal hoping to get to half time at 0-0. The fans will get frustrated and as Arsenal get more desperate for goals they will hope to catch them on the break.

I have only just realised that I can get a graph of price/vol by clicking the horse concerned. :)))

Fundamentalist - 09 Mar 2005 14:15 - 1715 of 10502

Scrip

thanks for your support tonight lol - personally hoping to get to half time at 3-0, with more to come after the break!!!!!!!!!

Scripophilist - 09 Mar 2005 14:27 - 1716 of 10502

Henry doesn't do Europe though does he!

Didn't think of that. Sorry for not pointing it out. I guess I just use it so often I just didn't think about it.
