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.

Not normally one to boast my good trades (well only occasionally lol) but have just made over 100 on one trade on the horses for the first time:
14.40 Ripon, My Diss Sire - laid at 2.84 for 500 and backed back and greened up at 3.65
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

Only rule is that I can't close one trade till I am out of the prior trade.

Would be interested to know if you notice any change in the market. I can't see I would have that much impact but would be interested to know. I'm on the 15:10 and then I'll have a rest!

nothing noticeable, i think the first race you did it on the favourite was trading sideways so a bit jumpy
