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.

I had to close my position when Tursunov lost his first service game. Haven't been tempted back in yet.

Steve,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Regarding a nights out, I'm pretty flexible too and can make most nights but if we're planning on a bender till the crack of dawn then a Fri/Sat would suit me. Otherwise midweek is better but with John away I'll post him dates when he returns.

Trading the Henman game at moment and managed to average out a lay off at 1.06. Will keep this as hardly any downside and will look to green up later.

im not sure we are going to plan a bender till the crack of dawn, but if last time is anything to go by it will probably happen anyway

the joys of not getting in until the game had started - my entry point was lower - henman pulling out all the stops to lose the second set :-)

have left the position running on Betangel and will let it sort itself out as the cricket is now starting

bakko - 23 Jun 2005 14:39 - 3675 of 10502

Henman, Predictable as ever. No need to green up yet.
Scrip, Hope you got back in on this one.

Australia 32-0 after 5 - have laid aussies at 1.46

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 15:08 - 3677 of 10502

Australia lose their first wicket - nicely in profit now

Just served myself a get out of jail free card on the 15:20 at Newc. Market went AWOL for a bit and I wasn't watching. Rank outside came in and won!

someone put an order in for 20k way above the spread - thankfully i was on the right side of it

Scripophilist - 23 Jun 2005 15:31 - 3680 of 10502

I was using the charts with volume on and volume indicator but only saw it after it happened. Should have been paying attention. In fact maybe I should have let the lay run! Would have been quids in, but hey I held my strategy and it paid off any how. Was green on another horse.

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 15:32 - 3681 of 10502

same thought crossed my mind to let it run - but decided to keep my discipline

watching and trading the cricket, flicking to the tennis and trading the horses - all a bit frantic at times lol

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 16:35 - 3682 of 10502

see henman may have come back from the dead again - saved match point at which tursonov traded at 1.02

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 16:44 - 3683 of 10502

and looks like hes blown it again

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 16:46 - 3684 of 10502

Henman out - only two rounds of laying fun :-(

bakko - 23 Jun 2005 16:49 - 3685 of 10502

Biggest win for me thanks to henman once again. I never greened up and missed the chance when his opponent had 2 match points.

Henman... Please don't retire as a lot of us will be poorer without you!

bakko - 23 Jun 2005 16:51 - 3686 of 10502

Nadal crashes out too

Scripophilist - 23 Jun 2005 16:53 - 3687 of 10502

More Tennis please Betfair!

Fundamentalist - 23 Jun 2005 16:56 - 3688 of 10502

More to the point, can they please put the tennis and cricket on at different times - i just cant trade 3 sports (incl horses) at once on a single screen!!!!

bakko - 23 Jun 2005 17:50 - 3689 of 10502

Scrip,
