How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Welcome back bakko, don't think you've missed a great deal.

I'm away for the weekend so good luck to you all. See you next week.

Welcome home Bakko.

Hi bakko welcome back

John - have a good weekend - looks like im now going to haydock with sputnik and steph - should be good fun

Scrip - the only reason i asked is it is rare to hear you having a loss on a line so often, especially on a winning day

made 2 ticks on the 5.30 then called it a day - been a very good one on here and a shocker on the mkts

Fundamentalist - 23 Mar 2005 17:35 - 2003 of 10502

good result then scrip

"rare to hear you having a loss on a line so often"

Came in thick and fast in the afternoon. Pretty much every other race. I think because I had two horses on the go at the same time. I still recommend only one.

Fundamentalist - 23 Mar 2005 17:37 - 2005 of 10502

i tried 2 at a time for a couple of days and gave up - i was exposed for a huge loss because i layed on the wrong line when trying to lay off - havent done more than one line since

"good result then scrip"

Thank you Hisar, but it looked a bit dodgy near the end. Fluff and Puff ran well.

An excellent day. But obviously a day when the wind was behind me.

It's not often when you win on 20 out of 20 races. So I'll enjoy it before I give some of it back tomorrow!!

Harlosh - 23 Mar 2005 17:38 - 2007 of 10502

Steve, that's great. Don't feel so bad now. Have a great day.

bakko - 23 Mar 2005 17:39 - 2008 of 10502

Thanks guys,

Harlosh, Enjoy your weekend away.

Harlosh - 23 Mar 2005 17:39 - 2009 of 10502

Thanks bakko.

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 14:14 - 2010 of 10502

Interesting first race of the day!

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 14:24 - 2011 of 10502

What do you call a line of barbie dolls?














A barbie que.

Fundamentalist - 24 Mar 2005 14:51 - 2012 of 10502

Scrip - stick to the day job ie betfair lol

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 15:01 - 2013 of 10502

Something going horribly right at the moment. No mistakes today so 27 races in a row without a loss.

Fundamentalist - 24 Mar 2005 15:25 - 2014 of 10502

glad its continued scrip - im having a harder day - had a large liability in the 3.20 - thankfully it got beat

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 15:31 - 2015 of 10502

At risk on Think Quick - 15:30

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 15:37 - 2016 of 10502

Gone! Thought I was going to get lucky there as well. 28 in a row. Now need to see if I can do it all over again!!

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 15:39 - 2017 of 10502

Just did some fag packet calculations. I reckon I had about only a 6% chance of getting 28 in a row. Now to see if I can match that with losers!!

Scripophilist - 24 Mar 2005 15:53 - 2018 of 10502

Does appear to be a harder day today. Have booked some time with the family tommorow so looking forward to a day off.

Fundamentalist - 24 Mar 2005 16:09 - 2019 of 10502

Having my day off saturday - going to gamble at haydock instead
