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.

if youre about, have a look at the 8.00 at Towcester - on the rules page you will see several withdrawals listed and their relevant deduction facto

I can only dream unfortunately. I think thats the nail in the coffin unfortunately. Never mind it will be nice to win a few games again rather than lose each week to a bunch of overpaid prima donnas!
Just think of the excitement I could have next year. Crewe, Cardiff, Plymouth, Millwall. Some quality teams in there, I can see end to end flowing football coming my way. The talent also, I can name at least............. err... no... top striker in the championship. I am looking forward to seeing him (whatever his name is) on display next season.

dont give up hope mate, ultimately there are 4 poor sides playing and any of them could win, lose or draw - there will be a lot of nerves about, whilst the teams they are playing have little to play for. as a neutral it will be an interesting afternoon watching it unravel, but i do feel sorry for the fans of the clubs involved.
that said if saints go down i will be sorry for Harry and Jim but celebrate Rupert Lowe going down

Buster Hyvonen was just under 3.0 when withdrawn - the rule 4 adjustment was 35.3%

That cost me on Virture as well, and was it me did the odds for the favourite reduce down to 1.03 in running. Not bad for a horse that wasn't running.

I've seen that many times. I can only hypothesise that bots are programmed to offer prices automatically or third parties are unable to see the images. Very strange you see it happen all the time.

I feel sorry for Forest fans. I remember the double european cup winning side very well and to think they will start next season in the old division three is incredible for anybody that experianced their halcyon days.

So what does the 35.3% come off of. This is what I am still trying to work out. Is from the odds on that horse that have all ready been matched, or does it effect the rest of the field in anyway?

If you divide the price the horse was quoted at into 1 you get the percentage chance the horse had (when all added up givr you the over round figure)

Why no rule 4 on Count Kristo which also didnt start???
cunningham
- 09 May 2005 20:35

So it only effects the overround nothing else?
Fundamentalist

No - effectively if it had a 35% chance of winning then each of the other horses have a 35% greater chance of winning if it doesnt run
Count Kristo rule 4 9.6% - why has this increased my loss????

looks interesting and very helpful.
Like the look of the fill or kill and trailing stops especially. Appears to negate the need to flick back and forth between ABPro and betfair. Dont understand the 2 different levels of stops but dare say all will become clear.
Any idea of what the full package is going to cost?

Scrip - just seen the demo and like the look of it. Also very pleased you recognise the quality of Plymouth Argyle :-)
