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.

Steve,
Very tempted to but not this time. I've worked quite hard to get to this position. Done it too many times before and regretted it.

Good afternoon all. Getting the hang of this now. Still playing with 2 bets. Lots of opportunities on Davenport - Clijsters match as the odds move so far so fast. Nice and green and return on capital employed would be the envy of any businessman :-)

Grosjean game is 1 set all and the first three games in the third set have all gone against serve leading to some large price swings - hes currently a break down

Tennis is great. The trouble is surely it can't be this easy. I've been trying to close out my Tennis model but it just seems much less complicated than that. There seems to be opportunities in every match.
Had a decent day on the horses as well.

Kayak , has it been announced that Maxwell and Saskia are up for eviction officially or is it another leak ?
Cheers

Dil
just checked on the ch4 website - they havent announced the nominations on there yet but both Maxwell and Anthonys nominations dont count this week hence i guess why the prices of maxwell and saskia are so short - that and the weekly leaks of course

Tomorrows order of play for the womens quarter finals on the show courts is below - rest day for the mens singles, though weather forecats isnt great:
Centre Court (1pm start)
A MAURESMO (1.34) Fr 3 v A MYSKINA (3.85) Rus 9 WS
M PIERCE (2.96) Fr 12 v V WILLIAMS (1.47) US 14 WS
Court One (1pm start)
N PETROVA (6.6) Rus 8 v M SHARAPOVA (1.17) Rus 2 WS
L DAVENPORT (1.34) US 1 v S KUZNETZOVA (3.85) Rus 5 WS
the two games on court 1 look likely to go the way of the favourites imo, shall be looking to trade the matches on centre court unless i get distracted by the England v Australia cricket which starts at 2.30pm.

Dil, it's pretty much a certainty, as Fundy says two of the Maxskia team are not able to vote, the other team would have voted for them following the cider debacle, and Makosi is immune from her task. Saskia will go.

Hmmmm, or possibly Derek and Saskia nominated.

Hope you're right about Derek, Kayak.
I am trying to get out of a bet for Derek to go. Started backing him at 15s, now I'm averaged at 36, so nearly there.
I'm not sure I like this market as it has too many surprises. Every week I seem to have to work very hard to get out of a bad red situation.
