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.

Seven goals or more market trading a 5.0, that's a daft price IMHO. Even with such a mismatch I reckon the real odds are vastly different from 4-1.

In fact I think I will lay it, not saying it wont come in but on average if you take a position like this you will end up quids in big time. I'll cover elsewhere probably there is enough margin to do it.

Evening scrip

are you trading any of the other matches?

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 19:36 - 2051 of 10502

I'll be on as many as possible. I can't see Austria losing to Wales.

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 19:40 - 2052 of 10502

likwise - though they can be a bit defensive minded so not expecting an early goal - will wait and watch

greece and italy both look sure things but at skinny odds

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 19:41 - 2053 of 10502

I think Italy will come through but I fancy opposing Greece. A sort of pairs trade I guess?

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 19:43 - 2054 of 10502

wales unlucky not to take the lead

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 19:43 - 2055 of 10502

your siding with albania?

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 20:05 - 2056 of 10502

greece in front :-)

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:18 - 2057 of 10502

Can I change my mind?

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:18 - 2058 of 10502

Really nothing more than to add some interest really that one.

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:21 - 2059 of 10502

Englands odds are very stubborn at the moment. Drifting out but very slowly.

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:22 - 2060 of 10502

Now starting to cover off my 7 goals or more lay. Now trading at 10's from under 5's before the off. That's my best bet of the night.

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 20:27 - 2061 of 10502

scrip

have italy had a man sent off - cant work out why the market was suspended then italy started drifting

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:33 - 2062 of 10502

No sending off.

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:51 - 2063 of 10502

Interesting night so far. 7 goals or more now at 20's so I have covered of during half time. Any unquoted at 3.95?!?!?!

So that will be bust it England score 4, if!! May dump some of the profit on that.

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 20:54 - 2064 of 10502

Not enough time to do anything before that goal went in. Floodgates open?

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 20:56 - 2065 of 10502

im not sure this lot know how to open the floodgates

owen suspended for the welsh game for handball

Fundamentalist - 30 Mar 2005 20:58 - 2066 of 10502

this ref's got more cards than hallmark lol

Scripophilist - 30 Mar 2005 21:01 - 2067 of 10502

Could any of them score in a brothel?
