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.

Scrip, I'll e-mail you from another account because it's going to take a few days before the normal e-mail account works again. There was a mix-up with the domain name renewal and the first I knew about it was when the domain was suspended!

Mmmm,
Arsenal v City
Man Utd v Spurs
Chelsea v Middlesborough
I think the top three all last played at home like this on Boxing Day and made a clean sweep.
Can't see why they shouldn't do the same tonight. Any thoughters?

Just looking at the Australian Open Tennis later this month.
Philipoussis is currently at odds of 130.
Not sure what his form is like recently, presumably not good given these odds but it's not that long ago he won Wimbledon is it?
As he is Australian playing in front of his own fans, might be a fair bit of value there. Worth a tenner if nothing else at those odds me thinks.
Will try and find out who he is pitched against in the early rounds.
Edit, Draw not until 14th Jan.
Scrip, in your experience are the odds likely to change once the draw is known?

Harlosh - With odds like that + others could one bet on them all and be all green up? Just wondered! I'll try and work it out later...

Chartist,
I see you're a Stockport lad. Worked there for 10 or 11 years as a police sergeant. I live down the M60 in Urmston.
Are you referring to the football or the tennis?

Good footy on tonight but the odds on Man U for a win look very skinny to me.

Re : Tennis, Yes the odds will change when the draw is made. You will be making a bit of a gamble till then. Of course if he gets a good draw the odds will come in a bit.

Odds on Arsenal and Chelsea skinny too Scrip.
Going to wait for a while, see if I can get better odds later on.

I think Chelsea should beat Borough, Arsenal & City could be interesting but Arsenal should do it. Man U against an inform Spurs @ 1.50, Just seems pretty risky.

Will trade 1.02 probably now. Too much risk to take onboard IMO so if you are not in don't join. Second goal came from a free kick setup.

Tottenham attack missing Kanoute by the sound of it and playing a five man midfield. May take on ManU match as well.

Jeckyll & Hyde team City. Never know which one is gonna turn up.
Still think Arsenal will come on strong in the 2nd half. They usually do.

I have some money on 0-2 0-3 1-2 1-3 2-1 based upon outsized odds on the correct score. Have laid some of the others though as well.

Sounds like Man U are going to score.
