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.

any thoughts on the test match thurs iam looking to back england then lay them in running

Yes: take your line profit and divide it by the lay odds. If you lay-off the result at the lay odds you used you will be covered in green.

That's the basic idea but to do it justice I recommend a day with Scrip on 29th September.

Thanks for the reply, and yes you are right I do need a day with Scrip!

Will give it a go this evening

pth

All green on every champions league match for this evening so going to crack open some wine and enjoy. May be tempted into the market as well depending on what I see.

scrip what % profit do you make on each game

pth - just don't travel by London Underground ok?

Evening all

First time ive looked at prices for a long while:

tonights footie - arsenal still odds on despite being 1-0 down - looks way to short to me (as an arsenal fan!) - fulham the outsider of the 3 potential results

cricket - not going to see much of the first 2 days as due to move on friday and still got way too much to do - personally dont like to get involved until ive seen a pitch report prior to the start and see who wins the toss. If England win the toss and bat would be looking to lay the Aussies if the price gets to or below 2.00 (which it is likely to do if the aussies take an early wicket). Draw price of 2.74 looks ridiculously low unless there is a lot of rain forecast (havent looked at it yet).

Shows how much i know - Arsenal back to 1-1

Evening everyone

Just got in. Looks like I've miissed out on a few goals. Will have to see what the vultures have left behind!

Back the draw in the man u v debrecen game, as I've decided not to green up my man u profits ;~)

Getting a stuffing this evening , can't complain as I've had my best month ever.

Start again tomorrow.

I was considering laying Chelsea this evening but glad I didn't. Still a bit early in the season to pick any trends IMO.

Thanks go to Arsenal for a 3rd goal.

Greed does pay (once in a blue moon) :~)

I am watching the Arsenal match they are all over Fulham and score should be much bigger. Struggling to type as this bottle runs dry. I always start with a glass but end up with an empty bottle somehow.

"Greed does pay (once in a blue moon) :~) "

Greed, is good. LOL!

scrip you might not have seen my post from last night as you have not answered the question. i have looked on the links above but cant find any reference to the avarage % win per event ie if you layed out 1000 pound would the net winnings be 10% or more.

That's an impossible question to answer as there are so many ways to trade a match, most of which I use. At the smallest level you can make as little as a few 10ths of a % but can turn them often and at the luckiest you could call a match on the nose and walk away with well over 100%. I tend to trade what I see rather than having some arbitary amount in terms of % or 's in my mind.

scrip thanks for honest reply, i thought it was a % game

Off on my hols for a couple of weeks. Good trading everyone.

Hope the move goes well Fundy.
