How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Harlosh - 26 May 2005 20:50 - 3078 of 10502

I'm OK Steve.

Scripophilist - 26 May 2005 21:09 - 3079 of 10502

Fine over here as well.

TPO - 26 May 2005 21:27 - 3080 of 10502

I still can't even ping the betfair site. I'm using BT Broadband.... how about you Fundy?

Fundamentalist - 26 May 2005 21:38 - 3081 of 10502

got back in about ten mins ago TPO, though horrendously slow - have now turned it off till the morning

Dil - 26 May 2005 22:42 - 3082 of 10502

I'm using BT Broadband and had no problem all evening and was on between about 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

I've downloaded BetAngel basic, but I can't find any instructions at all.
How do I get started?

bakko - 27 May 2005 06:41 - 3084 of 10502

Scrip,

Download of Bet angel together with microsoft framework OK but on logging in I get "Version of Betangel has expired, please update".
Tried reloading but getting the same message.

Will be away till Tuesday (Wedding anniversary) so won't pick up your reply till then but thanks in advance.

No Betfair for me this weekend :(

Scripophilist - 27 May 2005 08:09 - 3085 of 10502

Bakko, I will email you. I'll need your system spec to check what the issue is.

Kajman, I will be uploading a tutorial later.

TPO - 27 May 2005 08:53 - 3086 of 10502

Just spoke to betfair as to why I still can't connect and apparently it's a problem with the BT network that is affecting part of the country and is preventing access to large dynamic sites like theirs. BT engineers are working at five locations to fix the problem.

Scripophilist - 27 May 2005 10:39 - 3087 of 10502

Issues to do with the Expiry of the software are related to the time and date settings on your computer. I will update the help and expiry files to ensure you can understand how to correct the formatting issue on your PC.

Harlosh - 27 May 2005 12:31 - 3088 of 10502

Bakko,

Enjoy your weekend. Have you told her yet?

Pinsticker - 27 May 2005 13:32 - 3089 of 10502

Scrip,

Software downloaded very easily and appears to all be working fine.

Only problem is that I cannot find anything in the help files which tells me how to win loads of dosh with minimum effort.

Will this tool only be available in the Professional version?

ROFL!

You need to click on the "Offer a funded round of golf for Scrip at Wentworth" button; that will help push your trading career in the right direction for sure.

Afternoon all

Soem days you just get lucky - got completely on the wrong side of Lady Zanzara and in for a large hit if it won - 1 minute before the off it is withdrawn :-)

Scripophilist - 27 May 2005 14:41 - 3092 of 10502

That's called skill and intuition isn't it?

Fundamentalist - 27 May 2005 14:52 - 3093 of 10502

Scrip

if i had been green not red i would be effing and jeffing lol

Harlosh - 27 May 2005 15:26 - 3094 of 10502

Bakko,

Just noticed the result of the Acasusco/Roddick game yesterday.

Congratulations on your analysis. Very clever.

Fundamentalist - 27 May 2005 15:32 - 3095 of 10502

Afternoon john,

Good analysis but must have been quite nervy at 2-0 Roddick - i wonder what price Acasusco was at that point?

Fundamentalist - 27 May 2005 15:48 - 3096 of 10502

Teach me to claim its going to be a lucky day. Just got disconnected as trying to trade out of a bet just before the off on a 5f race. Couldnt reconnect quick enough to trade out so lost the whole stake - OUCH!!!
