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.

Wow. Just greened up on United when Palace scored. Think I've learned my lesson now.
Had a good day on the football.
Steve, I'll give you a ring next week.

Scrip,
Was a bit peeved at the Man U game. Could have had a second bite of the cherry when Palace equalised but the other half wanted to go out. Can you believe these women wanting to go out on a Saturday when there is lots of sport to be had on the PC.
Perhaps I shouldn't but I'm gonna have a bet on Arsenal Sunday. Don't fancy the Liverpool v Newcastle game.

Oh dear, sorry about that. The final segment is a big gamble if the FTSE is within 10 points or so of the line. I very rarely leave things open over the auction, although today as it happened the risk/reward was -10/+480 and so I left it running since the futures were looking weak and the FTSE was only a couple of points above at 4.30.
