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.

Still be three test matches to play - footbal shouldnt start till late september lol

Harlosh, I second your words re the football. Can't wait for it to start!

Since Wimbledon finished I've been rather quiet on Betfair. Got clobbered on the open golf and not been too hot on the cricket.

Resorted to spread betting the dow and footsie with moderate success over the last 2 weeks

Not much more than a couple of weeks Bak.

Yep, The countdown has already begun here!

For those of you desperate for the footie - are you trading Deportivo vs Newcastle in the inter two bob cup?

trading Warwickshire vs Kent myself

Now im green on deportivo - from a trading perspective then bring on the footie season

Newcastle sitting back and getting torn to shreds currently - wouldnt be surprised to see them lose by at least 2 if not 3 goals

Can't believe Celtic have crashed 5-0! I like Strachan but surely a huge disaster to recover from?

I layed Celtic :-)

I think Celtic laid themselves with that performance.

I was too busy on other things, What were the prices?

Just checked and I didn't lay them but backed the other team at an average of 2.14 and layed at an average of 1.10.

Also won on Malmo , Schalke and now green on Newcastle.

OOps , Schalke just conceded one in 90th minute but still 2-1 up.

Free money on BB winning female - you can still lay any other which rekates to Orlaith - she has walked out this am

Been free money on the cricket this am

20:20 is a completed match after 5 overs of the second innings - started raining after 10 overs of the second innnings so the market should already be settled as the result is know but still managed to get some 1.01 and 1.02 - good when people dont understand the rules lol - worth watching as more money keeps becoming available (ive had all my account will allow)

More free money on the second game - someone left 1700 at 1.01 a completed match into the 5th over of the second innings - im most grateful!!!

I'm no football manager but I suggest Celtic may have a problem in defense with nine goals conceded in two matches!

not you as well - ITS STILL THE CRICKET SEASON NOT THE FOOTIE SEASON

Several others do so also. I think it's quite funny. I research the company and thought, oops, no business model.

They have stand at several local courses. Most of the on course bookies now hedge on Betfair. You can see the orders going through the market.
