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.

Two minute outage there. Having a good day as well. Suddenly thought it was about to go to pot.

16:30 Folkstone

Figaros Quest, 10k lay dumped in the market in play at short odds just before it goes on to lose. Either somebody was a race reader of untold ability or they were very confident it was not going to win.

Poor offerings from Betfair on the first day of the premiership. Hardly anything to get excited about.

John

who needs the premiership when there are massive profits to be made on the Ashes!!! have laid the Aussies 4 times in the match and made good profits on all of them - the best from 3.6 to 9.8 :-)))

Well done Steve. Not been around much lately so haven't had time to study the cricket.
Glad to see your doing well though.

How's the building work going?

John

likewise not had much time trading but have managed to watch most of the first two days of the cricket - not looking so good for the next two days though :-(

Builders are finished tomorrow then its a case of getting the bathrooms in, paint on the walls (kitchen, diner and 2 beds are done already), fireplace fitted, doors hung and the flooring in the next 2 weeks so that we can move in on the 26th (fortnight to day!!!) - so not going to be around much for the next 3 weeks at least.

I'd love to help you move in that day but we fly to Menorca early that morning.
Glad you can now see light at the end of the tunnel anyway.

We'll have to celebrate with a day at the races.

John

your timing is impeccable lol - day at the races sounds like a cracking idea

Came across this website recently which claims to screen live footy via Asian TV channels so will interest those who don't have Sky Sports

I'm not too sure whether it works or not? But give it a go as premiership footy is only minutes away!

My P&L for today is wrong , anyone else got a problem ?

Wasn't trading today, I tend only to trade during the week. Will keep an eye on it tomorrow.

Dil

not traded at all today so cant help though doesnt appear to be anyone else having a problem on the forum

The total of my P&L is different to the individual totals , its the individual totals that are wrong so no monetary effect.

Dil

is the difference the commission?

Have backed mickleson in the golf at 1.86 - cant see him losing from here

Green at 1.58, will go back in if he gets nearer to 2s again

Arb available on The Ashes 2005 - Series Score market.

Been trading most of this evening below 100%, Currently 99.7% but if you put a couple of open orders in you will still do OK.

all going pear shaped for mickleson - looks like the back nine could be interesting

Evening All

Greened up on Nadal/Agassi game a while back with Nadal winning yet another tournament only a few moments ago.

Not checked out the golf but will take a look now

Mickleson just gone from 2.2 to 1.7 in seconds as he makes great up and down and elkington fails to do the same

There was a high street bookie offering refunds on all bets if Mickleson wins. Bet they are sweating it at the moment!
