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.

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.

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)

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

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.

I've noticed the volume on smaller horse markets picking up nicely recently. Betfair must have been doing well lately with the volume going through them.

We'll raise 10m, keep plenty of shares, pay ourselvelves ridiculous salaries, ramp the hell out of it sell the shares and then resign ahead of it going bust

LOL!
UBT certainly has all the hallmarks of being another 10 Group and we all know what a resounding success that company was. ;~)

"Strikes deal with Betfair"
PMSL. This is just a blatant ramping, it's incredible. I've a right mind to complain to the FSA.
If you want to strike a deal with Betfair phone Boris on 0208 834 8283 and ask to join the BDP. He will sign you up immediately and for free for 14 days. Then go to the stock market and announce it. PMSL. PMSL....
