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 Fundy for the commentary :-) Green now except Woods and Toms. 22p up if Goosen wins!

Edit - evening to you also Bak.

Managed to lay goosen at 1.94

Also got a bet from pre tournament winning score to be over 280 at 3.00 - now 1.3 though tempted to just let it run

will be looking to lay Michael Campbelll if he gets much shorter

Was just looking at backing Vijay Singh only to watch him putt it off the green and his price double lol

Kernow, I don't have Sky here either so reliant on odds movement, live web commentary and scoreboards. I see that Goosen's odds have drifted out further still.

Well done you two. Be careful with Campbell though - he's good.

Bak

he just made another bogey - missed from 6 ft

Woods just holed a monster for par. Cant understand that singh at 2 behind and woods at 4 behind are trading at the same price - a nice pairs trade i believe

for scoring the below site is quite good

edit Goosen just knocked it on the par 5 4th in 2
Singh makes double bogey - explains the similarity in his price to tigers - pairs trade cancelled lol

Kernow

Campbell has only ever had 1 top 10 finish in a major - ill happily lay him if he's in the mix on the back 9. Nearly all his tournament wins are when he leads going into the final day (often by a wide margin)

Goosen 3 putts for par (two 3 putts in a row)

Theyve just posted the "Serious Weather Warning" signs around the course - they think it could hit in approx an hours time.

If there is heavy rain it will favour the players who have the longest left to play when they return (assuning suspension) as it soften and slow the greens making the course substantially easier, so be careful laying those in the last few groups.

That would certainly explain his wildly swinging odds, from 1.9 to 2.5+

If you havent got pictures but want up some form of commentary if you go to the betfair forum and click on golf you will find a thread near the top called commentary - the guys on there keep it pretty much up to date

Thanks Steve. Will take a look

Will try and keep commenting on here but about to have some food!!!

Campbell just made great up and down for par at 5, goosen 20 yds short of green in 2 (par 4) and Gore just hit to about 10ft. Campbell hits to 30 ft at par 3 6th

Woods birdies 7th to go to +3

This is great!

Goosen has just missed par and odds are now 3.25

Spot on Bak - another 6 footer missed for Goosen

Gore makes birdie

woods the danger?

I don't really care whose dangerous as long as Goosen doens't win!

Steve, hope you've still got your Goosen lay

Goosen got 12 ft for par at the next - still got my Goosen lay - tempted to lay him in the top 5 finish market as well

Campbell 25 ft for birdie

Goosen misses

Goosen misses par again. Looks like his game is in tatters.
