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.

No change here, 29c and steady.

Price back into 1.10! What a great market!

Keep the updates coming guys.

Cheers

I'm off to the pub for an hour to test the temperature around the corner!

I'm 10 miles South of Cheltenham and we've had thin cloud over us for at least an hour. Temperature steady at 25C.

I have stopped trading and turned punter :-)

Thin cloud has just reached me, a few more miles and it will be over heathrow. 30c

Afternoon All,

Just joined in the fun with the top temp. Grabbed a few bites at 1.18

Its been peeing down in Wales .

Dil lol

1pm Heathrow recorded as 31C, cant see it reaching 34.5C now

It aint funny !

We saw the sun til about 10 and since then its been grey cloud as far as the eye can see and intermittent rain.

Bit humid though.

Cloudy and humid in Manchester - not raining YET though bound to at some stage lol.

Shame the last test isnt being played in Wales Dil :-) 5 days of rain with a heavy back of the draw will do me nicely

Steve, How's the house? Hope all is going to plan.

Hi Bak

House is getting there slowly - still stacks to do but it is liveable - we have a bedroom, my study a bathroom and a kitchen - the rest is all on catch up.

First day back at the screen today though may be the only one this week - cant believe im trading weather!!!!

Hows tricks with you? I think John is back Friday so we must sort out another night out

PS did murray win last night?

Steve,

Nice to know that your house is going well.

Things are OK this end. Betfair trading has been a bit slow recently - not finding decent opportunities or lost my edge? Wandering into spread betting footsie and dow over the summer with usual ups and downs.

As soon as John returns we'll grab a night out together.

Murray did win last night over 5 sets. Didnt see it but it was an epic match on one of the grandstand courts. Apparently, he even overcame injury and sickness on court!

Bak

i fell asleep when it went 2 sets all - doh!!!! at least i had closed all my positions out (i laid murray at 1.26 when he won the first set but closed out too early when he was broken in the second set - too distracted by the game of poker i was in lol)

Wasn't on the Murray game but laid the Toothless Tiger earlier in the day which paid off.

You'll have to talk to me about poker when we meet up as interested in having a go.

Temperature dropping here now, all over now imo on the temperature market.

Northolt hit 32C at 2pm according to met site - still 2.5C short of required -
Heathrow flat at 31C - nowhere else higher than 30C. Have taken most of my risk out at 1.03

greened the rest at 1.02 - nice easy few hundred quid - cheers scrip :-)

I think I'll hold out till the end on the top temp. Can't see how it can be beaten.

Scrip, Thanks for pointing out the free dosh!

Yep , cheers Scrip.
