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.

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

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 21:05 - 3486 of 10502

Thanks Steve. Will take a look

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:07 - 3487 of 10502

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

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:07 - 3488 of 10502

Woods birdies 7th to go to +3

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 21:12 - 3489 of 10502

This is great!

Goosen has just missed par and odds are now 3.25

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:14 - 3490 of 10502

Spot on Bak - another 6 footer missed for Goosen

Gore makes birdie

woods the danger?

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 21:18 - 3491 of 10502

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

Steve, hope you've still got your Goosen lay

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:21 - 3492 of 10502

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

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:23 - 3493 of 10502

Goosen misses

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 21:25 - 3494 of 10502

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

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:30 - 3495 of 10502

Woods make bogey - back to +4

Fundamentalist - 19 Jun 2005 21:31 - 3496 of 10502

Goosen misses another green

kernow - 19 Jun 2005 21:39 - 3497 of 10502

Thanks for all the news etc guys - very handy. Short interlude for food and corrie and evertything changes.

Scripophilist - 19 Jun 2005 21:39 - 3498 of 10502

A great day of sport again. Looks like F1 is dead in America. The sport is so up its own a**e it can't make rational decisions any longer. What a great way to hack off your supporters!!!

Just wondering if any player will finish under par for the tournament. Not a course I would wish to play.

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 21:58 - 3499 of 10502

Evening Scrip

Woods is the favourite now with goosen in a bunker from tee at 9th

bakko - 19 Jun 2005 22:00 - 3500 of 10502

Tiger birdies to go level with Goosen and 1 behind Campbell

Scripophilist - 19 Jun 2005 22:03 - 3501 of 10502

The 10th has been playing below par all week. That's probably Woods last chance to get a lower score now.
