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.

Remember, try not to look at your P&L till the end of the day. Just focus on each event as it comes and switch from one to another the instant your bet is over.

Leeds vs Rotherham has a nice 10K+ bet gradually moving the Leeds price up in my favour :-)

There seem to be lots of people laying 0-0 on this one. I thought leeds would get off to a good start which they have but no goals yet.

So how are you budding experts, who attended Scrip's recent course, doing?

:-)

Also, just out of interest, is anyone else betting 'just for fun' on 'I'm a Celebrity GMOOH'?

As yet, I've limited my view of things to just the following three players, who are the three favourites - and I've greened up on them. Actually, Joe Pasquale is a clear favourite with the others good second favourites. As I type:

Jo Pasquale: B 1.38/ L 1.4

Janet Street Porter: B 11.0/ L 12.0
Paul Burrell: B 9.2/L 10.0

then come

Fran Cosgrave: 38/46
Sophie Anderton: 32/40

Now I haven't bothered including these last two in my betting, although I did personally consider Sophie a more likely winner than Fran and I am ignoring the other outsiders completely.

Have now done 3 days using scrips theories. Started with a pot of 100 which i have managed to turn into 191 !!!!! Made a couple of quite big mistakes which i got away with but in the main it is starting to work for me. If im still happy with my trading in a few weeks i am going to increase my pot to 1000. I am still doing it manually until i get some of the software scrip demonstrated which should make life even easier.

Good to see you greened up on iacgmooh

From my inbox and phone it looks like we are off to a good start so well done to those that have been out there and active. I had a record day on Monday so its even done me some good. Was on the Chelsea, Fulham match tonight and will send an email around tomorrow to explain tactics.

Script
Are you running a course in London

....or even a bit further North of London, like, eg, Northampton?

:-)

Scrip - managed to scalp a few points on the chelsea game and even managed to scalp on the live greyhounds - scalping was very easy on this with volatile prices and enough weight of money (for my stakes anyway) as it was on tv

Was there much volume on the dogs, haven't looked at them for some time.

What a day's sport ahead today.
Racing from 12nn to 18.20 and a host of football matches.

Must give the wife a fiver ( ok a tenner) and tell her to go and get the xmas shopping.

Leaves me in peace to practice.

Scrip,

Are you planning another course? I hope you are. :-) Also, IMHO, somewhere like Northampton would be an excellent location. Good access for both London, Central, E and W Midlands and with loads of hotels in the area all with good facilities.

Scrip

i think the volume was a lot higher than it would normally be because it was the oaks from wimbledon and televised. Most races had several hundred thousand matched and there were a few short priced favourites as there normally is on tv meets

Docproc; London is the next planned venue. Shall I send a Northants to london train timetable;-)

Bullie

Any idea of dates.??

I am emailing Peter on this. Possibly 23rd Feb, but waiting for confirmation

Scrip - dont do it - dont spread the gospel any wider!!!!!

23rd Feb it is, in London. Details will be going up on the GLOMTC website over the next few days

I'm up for the London course

Well, what a day. Fast and furious stuff this. A race every 10 mins.

Results: 17 races
7 winners
6 draws
4 losers

First loser was my first ever attempt and I suffered the biggest loss. I got better after that.

On the day, fractionally under 10% profit. So a result.
