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.

Yes I know Pip. I'm trying, really trying but the thrill of the chase is winning at the moment.

I've got to nip out to see my old man on his birthday so I've greened up. (liar)

I know the feeling only too well. I've doubled and halved my account a couple of times doing just that!

Evening All,
Just back from work and managed to trade out of my losing lay off on Nadal.
Grosjean game seems interesting so will take a look at that too.

Evening Bak,
You may have missed the best of it unless Grosjean fails to get his finger out.

If anyone is trading Big Brother, know that the production team are as leaky as a sieve this year. Any movements before an announcement is due are to be followed!

have noticed that - it appears that nominations are known in advance and also who is being evicted in the couple of days before it happens - both the two who have been evicted in the last two weeks were priced approx 2.0 when the nominations were announced and about 1.2 just before the eviction occurred

williams back to 1 set all though looks as though she may have picked up an injury (not too serious i dont think) but be wary if backing

Grosjean game has been another great one to trade. Volume hasn't been bad I thought, much less than Timmy but its moved from 190k to 1.1m in the time I have been on it.

Re our conversation earlier... Found out this about KP. While aparthied was outdated the system that has replaced it is probably just as bad. What a crazy world we live in. Now all this talk about congestion charging on trains. Duh!
"Rice, then chairman of schools selection in South Africa and a key figure at county side Nottinghamshire, spotted Pietersen's potential immediately. But he could not pick Pietersen because of South Africa's racial quota system, introduced to fast track non-white players after the end of apartheid. "

Nic who i talked to you about earlier decided to stay over here for similar reasons - only so many white spots in the state side - despite getting hundreds off touring teams including england whilst still under 20!!! That and the fact that a cricketer earns several times more in england than in SA and the route opened up by EU passports

Morning John
the resumption is on court 1 after the Kim Clistjers game which starts at 1pm - so just after 2pm would be my guess.
if you go the official wimbledon homepage you get an order of play each day:
