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.

Italian Mist in the 17.05 is playing up. If the horse was withdrawn in the middle of trading would we risk losing our stakes?

Bolton look value tonight. Saints have some key defenders out and they were not that great at defending before especially away. Would be wonderful to see a shock but just can't see any chance at all to be honest. I won't be betting I will be down the gym.

I reckon you could see some pricing out of kilter for the Bolton match given the gloomy consensus for Southampton. So here are some stats.
My calculated odds, 1.75 Bolton, 5.31 Southampton
Next goal, 1.63, 3.23
Total goals from 1 or more
1.08,1.38,2.12,3.92,8.55,21.67,62.78
Correct scores, 1-0 7.6, 2-0 8.95, 0-1 15, 0-2 20.5, 0-0 13, 1-1 8.85
In play
If Bolton 1-0 up at half time around 1.22; 2-0 1.04, if Southampton up 1-0 at half time 1.79
55mins is where the crossover occurs that a draw is more likely than a home win.

Lost, For putting up a potential loss of 250 you would have won 25k

Or alternatively you could have lost 25k and not even got the 250 ;-)

How do you use the percentage figures above the odds on the Betfair screen? If it's over 100% does that mean it is possible to bet on all outcomes to guarantee a win?
On Chelsea Arsenal at the moment it shows 100.7% above the back odds, and 99.2% above the Lay odds. Does that mean you can arb a profit by backing all in the correct proportion?
