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.

Going purely on the odds it looks a racing cert , I just backed them both , only small though.

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.

Early prices for the mens quarters which will be on Thursday (weather permitting):

Federer (1.09) vs Gonzalez (10.5)
Roddick (1.19) vs Grosjean (6.0)
Hewitt (1.41) vs Lopez (3.4)
Nalbandian (1.74) vs Johanson (2.28)


Initial thoughts are johanson looks a big price and roddick may be a little too short

Overall winner market prices are now as follows

Federer 1.54
Roddick 5.6
Hewitt 14
Nalbandian 30
Lopez 34
Johanson 50
Grosjean 60
Gonzalez 95

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.

Scrip did you get an internal email from me?

Derek has found a lot of support and probably will come in some more. The house is moving to a more 'sensible' phase in its development as it quietens down.

What are the current odds for Saskia , Maxwell and Derek ?

Cheers

saskia 1.72-1.75
maxwell 3.45-3.6
derek 32-38

Well that doesn't seem to suggest that Derek has been nominated.

Cheers sealed.

kajman, just a bit behind on my email.

Maxwell is lengthening again on the evictions market. It could be just profit taking. Up to now there's been no sign of a leak.

Ah no, it was just some speculation on Digital Spy that Maxwell might not be up.

Just noticed that tonight is the first evening without racing (except sundays) for a while

Chance to nip off to the pub then! :)

I laid Sharapova today so I need to celebrate ;)

Maxwell is drifting and Vanessa coming in, ahead of the nominations announcement...

I wish

been caught twice on the racing so far today so having a down day

the last one the horse was beaten until the one in front stumbled badly and all but threw the jockey off

Tell me about it. I was on the opposing side. Thought I'd got away with it then it stumbled and my loss came in!
