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.

I was in the car and praying for England to win the toss. First time ever I have tuned into the radio to listen to somebody tossing a coin.

It has been raining in this part of the Cotswolds for about an hour - wasn't forecast either. What price the draw now? 3.15 I think I'll have a slice of that, thankyou.

Very funny, Jose is quite a good singer isn't he?

Indeed he is, but the Damien Duff ad has made me wanna change my insurance.
He is a very talented man. Jose is the 'special one' though.

brilliant!!!!


s*** - Freddies out

I thought he would make 100

Why no posts on this thread since Thursday. I read with interest before going on course - still find some of it incomprehensible, but I hope some of it is sinking in! H

Hi Helen

Personally having a few days off having taken a hiding on the football midweek and having promised myself i would just watch the final test without trading it. That said i have just laid the draw at 1.5 - a mad price with over 2 1/2 days to go imo.

Just had a look at todays footie and very little appeals, though likely to back Bolton to lay them off tomorrow - 2.04 looks over priced to me.

I'm still trying to get used to fractional odds, so i don't know whether 1.5 is mad or not. Keep converting when I'm on my Will Hill site, but finding it hard to get used to! I do think that laying the draw is a bit rash, though!

That's what makes a market:-)

Helen

Are you doing the course on 29 Sept? If so I will see you then. Looking forward to it. A few small bets on the premiership today and trying to sort out the mess I've made of the Test Match. LoL :-))

pth

PTH, yes, going on 29th. Still just doing fixed odds, mostly on horses (occasionally golf) and just at 'fun' levels. looking forward to learning more about exchanges after hearing Peter talk at Sunderland. See you on 29th. H

I'm going on 29th too.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Sunderland, I thought it was at Heathrow?
Doc, see you there, if I'm going to the right place!

It was a trader's meeting in Sunderland (in July) and Peter had a slot to talk about exchanges.

Afternoon All,

Steve, Nice lay at 1.5. Hope you bounce back in style from your disappointment.

Helen, Agree with Steve re mad odds I laid back at 1.6 having thrown huge amounts backing a draw at 2.5s on Thurs knowing that rain would arrive yesterday and today. Sweated out a few sessions as on the wrong side, hence the silence. Freddie/Strause, Langer/Hayden parnerships and rain rescued my position.

Currently sitting on massive green on draw line with no loss on others.

I personally think this will end up a draw with more rain expected to arrive later today and the pitch looking sterile.

Excellent opportunities to scalp on the Draw line when rain is threatening!
