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.

An interesting scenario here is if Man U get a good draw for the semi final. Southampton have to play Man U on the last day of the season so will they rest their players on the last day of the season against a team that could need to win to stay up?

Scrip, Lazio v Inter was 1-1 at 9:11pm (76 mins into the game I reckon) and was priced as 1.71 for the draw. That seemed a bit high to me, what do you think? Anyway, I took the trade and got anyway with it as I took 34% out in eight mins.

That's also the way to do it!

countrylife - if youve got something to say spit it out lol


anyone on the football this pm - made a nice few quid on blackburn (backed them midway through the 2nd half) - was out for the start of the newcastle game - may back the draw if it stays 0-0 for the next 10 mins or so - cant see it finishing 1-0


scrip - a quick question - what impact if any will the draw have on the outright winner market - i currently have a large profit on arsenal and am toying with greening up - will the odds change much if they draw Man Utd compared to drawing Blackburn - or is it too late in the comp for the draw to matter - theyve got to beat man utd to win it whether it be semi or final

"cant see it finshing 1-0" - shows how much i know lol

Fundy, I have some open positions as well. The draw will affect the odds. The question you have to ask yourself is if Man U and Arsenal were drawn together what would be the likely match odds?

If you assume the current odds are correct then 2.42 & 2.92 leaves the draw at 4.00 which is probably a little over priced. Therefore I would expect the prices change a little but not much. I have some exposure ahead of the draw and I will probably let it run into the draw tomorrow.

Scrip


thanks for that

i have eliminated my exposure but left all the profit on one line - will re-evaluate after the draw - Blackburn would be nice!!!

Curious winner on the first race. Huge drifter WH radio had several listeners tip it. Drifted to 17's and romped home!!

Must say finding myself rather nervous of trading the races at the moment. Seems to be a lot of horses drifting then, having sucked punters in, the odds collapse. Costly if you get caught.

15:00 at Plumpton. Favorite was never in the lead but backed at 1.01, what on earth were people thinking about. I know he got close towards the end but was never in the lead.

Trying out the races. Backed Kyalami (Stratford 4.30) @ 3.9 and layed @ 3.8 to greenup.

Kayak, A legend in my own time? ;)

lol!

Be aware of massive trading opportunities now that Cheltenham is upon us. Was a very profitably period last year.

lol Scrip, just trying to help :-)

Nice of justified to have a big drift - nice trading start - now come on chilling place (both hats on today)
