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.

Evening Guys,

Just got in and logged into the tennis. 2-1 to Nadal with Fed a break up in the 4th set. Looks like going the full course.

Just nicked a few ticks on Fed.

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 19:58 - 3158 of 10502

Should prove fruitful bak.

bakko - 03 Jun 2005 20:00 - 3159 of 10502

Only made 2 trades and showing good profit on Fed line.
John, Hope you've been milking the trades too

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:02 - 3160 of 10502

Oops, that hurt.

bakko - 03 Jun 2005 20:04 - 3161 of 10502

John, Just a blip. Fed will break back

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:07 - 3162 of 10502

Not too sure on that bak. Unless Nadal is busting a gut and is gonna weaken, he seems to be slowly getting the upper hand.

bakko - 03 Jun 2005 20:10 - 3163 of 10502

He does seem pretty useful

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:12 - 3164 of 10502

Looks like it could be over.

bakko - 03 Jun 2005 20:12 - 3165 of 10502

Yep, I agree.

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:13 - 3166 of 10502

Was just getting warmed up too. (me that is)

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:15 - 3167 of 10502

Lay lay lay. 1.06

Fundamentalist - 03 Jun 2005 20:15 - 3168 of 10502

Evening all

just got back in having missed most of the match - looks like the better player on the day won - at least might get slightly better prices on federer at wimbledon now :-)

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 20:16 - 3169 of 10502

Ah well, Nadal won pretty easily in the end. At last a serious contender to Federer I think.

bakko - 03 Jun 2005 20:19 - 3170 of 10502

Game to Nadal. At least, I didn't get caught out this time.

I was very green at the start of both semis as I piled in on both Fed and Nad at the beginning of the tournament fully expecting them to meet in the semi.

I can't see Nadal losing the final after today's outing.

Scripophilist - 03 Jun 2005 20:36 - 3171 of 10502

Should open some opportunities for Wimbledon. I have some interesting stats in front of me on the Tennis. I have 20 days to some up with some new stuff on the Tennis.

Harlosh - 03 Jun 2005 21:42 - 3172 of 10502

Returned your email Steve. See you tomorrow. 1pm ish at mine. Look forward to it.

Fundamentalist - 04 Jun 2005 08:55 - 3173 of 10502

Lions shot into a 17-0 lead and traded heavily at 1.01. Twenty minutes later and 17-17 - is deja vu happening for lions backers

Dil - 04 Jun 2005 09:11 - 3174 of 10502

Lol , good anyone backing that lot deserves what they get ... I did well out of the Argie game.

Laying the Lions every match may be a better bet .

Dil - 04 Jun 2005 09:53 - 3175 of 10502

Fundy , there have been many opportunities to back the Lions and B of P simultaneously during the second half.

Draw is always a big outsider until near the end so some easy money was had , I'll have to get up earlier next week.

Fundamentalist - 04 Jun 2005 09:58 - 3176 of 10502

Tend to agree Dil, I nicked a few quid from the lions near the end but the trading opportunities on rugby are mainly at the start of a game unless the game is very close
