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.

Horses seem a little tricky this afternoon. Haven't lost a race yet but haven't exactly covered myself in glory.

No sooner had he opened his mouth than he bagged a chunk on Native Coral in the 15:15

What is point to point? I hear the commentators talking about it all day and specifically on this race but I haven't a clue what it is. Can somebody explain?

Scrip - all you need to know and more!

Thanks just had a read, Despite making a lot of money on Horses I know nothing about them. Slowly learning though.

Just heard on the commentary that 45 favourites have lost in the last three days. Bookies must be minting it this week.

Not a single favourite won yesterday.

Newcastle one up.

Bloody hell, just about to back the draw when they equalised!

better back it now then john

Mmmmmmmmm. Have to think about that now. Newcastle seem to be on a high at the moment.

Just greened up on the Newcastle game!! Nice 10 for 20mins

hope you kept your powder dry john


well done copper

Newcastle seem to have gone defensive playing against 9 men - surely they want to put this to bed

They just have!!

What is up with the Premiership "semi-minor" teams? Whipping their Euro counterparts at this week.

In case you didnt find the answer. Point To Point is the amateur jumping game where the horses qualify by participating in 3 hunts. So it relies on foxhunting to some extent. The riders are all amatuers and usually ride their own horses. Some racecourses hold Hunter Chaser races which is for horses that Point to Point. There is a big Hunter Chase at Cheltenham next week, the Foxhunters.

Hi Scrip,
I see that you recently held a Global Day coarse in London, have you any plans for another, if so where and when???
I also note that you are one of the quest speakers at the next Money Am traders day on 8th April
I am curious to know if there is a great difference in content (apart from price LOL) between Money am day and a Global day.
