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.

Compound, Beware of the weather cos apparently its a glorious day with very little wind and if conditions stay the same there's talk that Tiger could card a very low score

I agree the conditions are perfect for Tiger.

Anyone else trading the horses today - is it just me or is there hardly and tradeable movement?

It is poor today. Has been good all week though so I was expecting some payback.

ive barely traded all week and when i have ive traded poorly - i cant afford the "payback" lol.

At least im green on the hampshire v surrey cricket match - gonna have a break (cue great trading movements) and watch a friend bat for hampshire in their vain quest for 359 in 50 overs

If today's conditions are ideal for T Woods, then tomorrow's weather forecast rather changes things.

In case you aren't familiar with synoptic charts, go forward to the animation that covers Sat 12:00 UTC and you will see 2 warm fronts over northern Scotland which suggest that it is highly likely to be wet through the middle part of the day at St Andrews

I've seen Woods really foul up in bad weather so I suggest wait till the end of the day and see how far in front he is. That will frame your opportunity. I didn't have opposing Woods in the game plan this week. But may glance at it this evening.

Woods will tee off in the afternoon as well so that could be interesting if there is a mover in the morning rounds.

Montgomerie making a move - 4 under for 5 holes and 5 under for the tournament - he couldnt could he.....

The only time i can remember Woods really struggling with the weather was Carnoustie, when all and sundry suffered as the conditions were horrendous. At this time of year at St Andrews the weather can turn but is never as bad as it was at Carnoustie. To me, Woods chance will increase if he is in front and the wind blows - it is more likely challengers come out of the pack if the conditions are benign

Phenomenal tee shot from Woods on the 10th - 380 yds and he knocks it on the green pin high

391 yards apparently, compared to Olazabal's 288, amazing.

Incredible stuff!

1612: Tiger Woods lines up an eagle chance at the 380-yard par-four 10th, landing a huge tee shot onto the green.

Woods drives his 3rd par 4 in a row

Tiger has just driven another green.

Ditto, at least we are both enjoying the golf.

flicking between the cricket and the golf - given up trading the horses for this afternoon.

Have a look at the chart on the surrey vs hampshire cricket match - i greened up at 1.08 and was tempted to turn it round - wish i had now

Tiger misses a birdie chance - He's human after all!

Fantastic moments at St Andrews as Nicklaus finishes his round.

the guy got the reception he deserved - a true champion - a wonderful moment

Funny old game this trading - spent all afternoon barely trading as i couldnt see anything to trade - sit down to look at a few of the evening races and get a cracking drifter - made 3 times my afternoon profit on the 1 race lol
