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.

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.

Anyone watch the last race at Leicester
front 3 well in front coming to the last - the winner decided at the last second to run out and not jump the fence, took the horse in second with it into the white fencing beside the fence and nudged the third placed horse unseating its rider. The horse that was 4th, and quoted at 1000 prior to the fence ran out winning by a distance

B-P, I think you may have your answer. For a short presentation which is unpaid I guess you may expect less than a full days course.

The horses have been good today lots of good prospects and some nice moves.
Leicester seems to be the place today. 15:05 Nousayri, nowhere to be seen and all the front three fall at the last. Matched at 250-1.

LOL, Fundy. I saw it, I guess that's why I haven't found a decent in running strategy yet. Still working on it.

I think the biggest problem with in running is that the prices move too quickly and are quite unstable. I have had a fair bit of success backing horses which are sound jumpers and will be in the shake up and then lay them off about half a mile out - ive also used it to get out of jail when i havent closed a bet before the off
