How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Anyone had a go yet at Betfair's 'Exchange Poker'?

Does it lend itself well (or at all) to BetAngel?

Doc

had a quick look and wouldnt touch it with a bargepole. It looks as though people have already got bots running. If you are going to play you will need to have a reliable oddschecker to make sure you are playing the right prices - try www.thehendonmob.com

Doc

no it wouldnt lend itself to betangel because the prices are reset prior to each card being dealt(like a suspension for a goal in the fottie)

Thanks. I'll leave it alone.

I think the problem you have in the market also is that it is almost perfect. Almost as soon as it came up bots were operating and pricing the market to perfection (with a little margin). It would be possible to produce a similar bot but with the market free from error there seems little point.

Only 4 days to go. Not that I'm counting of course.

Scripophilist - 09 Aug 2005 12:14 - 4131 of 10502

Hey for some of us the season started last week! Boo Hoo!

Fundamentalist - 09 Aug 2005 20:59 - 4140 of 10502

Scripophilist - 09 Aug 2005 21:13 - 4141 of 10502

There appears to be a problem with the middle of the Betfair screen but the site appears to be working well.
