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.

Thanks for the comments.
We have worked hard to make it as foolproof as possible. So much so that I can go make a cup of tea during trading and it will sit there and happily work away. We are pretty close to getting it out the door. We just spent ages testing it (you don't want it to go AWOL with large stakes) and we also couldn't stop adding features. So we thought we would draw a line in the sand and get it out there.
You could use it happily in its current form but it just needs a bit of tidying and tightening up.

Morning John

Although its supposed to be live I'm finding that its a bit slow on the updates.

Looks like that site has just gone down baks.
I see what you mean about big swings. Be nice to get on the right side of one of those.

John,
You may need to update it every so often as its a bit temperamental since yesterday.
However, its OK this end.
German reliability?? LOL

Anyone trading manure vs chelski tonite - united look a bit skinny to me, not sure whether to lay man u or to back chelsea - going to watch the first 5-10 mins before taking a position

Difficult one Steve, not sure the best way to play it. Should leave it alone I think but may play small stakes for fun.

Chelsea - strange line up, no Terry, no Drogba, no wide player - may explain the prices
