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.

..now 14.30 and counting. Let's also hope the disaster of the last "upgrade" is not repeated.

I think today is a write off in all honesty. I'm not keen on ploughing back into the market after the issues they had last time. Would prefer to see what the stability is like before putting money into the market.

Well its back up but a little slow. If anybody else can document their experiances, would be useful.

Scrip

the site is back at my end but has hung as soon as i tried to log in

Scripophilist - 06 Jun 2005 15:06 - 3196 of 10502

Only partial loading over here. I'm will avoid for the rest of the day and will use it for testing only.

Fundamentalist - 06 Jun 2005 15:09 - 3197 of 10502

Ive now got on the site, it is taking 2/3 mins to load a race up and the screen is not loading properly - going to cut the lawn then take another look

Scripophilist - 06 Jun 2005 15:14 - 3198 of 10502

Seems to be better over here but nobody is taking a risk by the look of it. Liquidity is non existant!

Harlosh - 06 Jun 2005 15:14 - 3199 of 10502

Seems fine my end.

Fundamentalist - 06 Jun 2005 15:40 - 3200 of 10502

Just looked again - seems ok apart from the my bets tab which is still not correctly formatted - liquidity still looks quite low

bakko - 06 Jun 2005 15:44 - 3201 of 10502

Just logged in and seems OK at this end.

Scripophilist - 06 Jun 2005 15:46 - 3202 of 10502

Things seem pretty much normal over here now but liquidity is taking some time to build.

Fundamentalist - 06 Jun 2005 16:11 - 3203 of 10502

All seems bak to normal my end - dipping my toe in slowly with reduced stakes just in case

Harlosh - 06 Jun 2005 16:15 - 3204 of 10502

Traded the last three races without any problems Steve.

bakko - 06 Jun 2005 16:31 - 3205 of 10502

I'm constantly losing the match odds page on the tennis. It keeps reverting back to the home page.

kernow - 06 Jun 2005 16:34 - 3206 of 10502

All well here - maybe a tad slow.

Fundamentalist - 06 Jun 2005 16:49 - 3207 of 10502

seems ok here apart from one occasion where it logged me out for no reason

Fundamentalist - 06 Jun 2005 16:54 - 3208 of 10502

see there is only 2 meetings this evening and very few of the races make trading appeal - going to catch up on some shares research for a while

Harlosh - 06 Jun 2005 17:02 - 3209 of 10502

bak,

have you found a decent site for live scores? I can't find one.

bakko - 06 Jun 2005 17:13 - 3210 of 10502

John,

The Stella tournament website is

Harlosh - 06 Jun 2005 18:35 - 3211 of 10502

I found that bak but it doesn't seem to be offering live scores does it.
