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.

Hi Steve,

No need to turn over as Fed has just taken the match 3-1 in sets.

Just been checking Fed v Agassi head to head. Fed leads 7-3 but Fed has won their last 7 encounters. Last time Agassi took the glory was way back in 2002.

See link for full details.

Fed v Agassi head to head

Anyone on the cricket today?

With the Aussies still short of Eng's total and with 4 wickets remaining I don't think they'll be too far ahead by the end of their innings.

All Eng have to do is to occupy the crease for as long as possible. Easier said than done and I'm sure Warne will want his say. Even if it doesn't rain, Eng will be back in the pavillion as soon as the light is offered.

I'm still sticking to my Draw which is looking more and more likely.

green from yesterday and trying just to watch.

Big worry is we are going to struggle batting in these conditions this afternoon. Effectively becoming a 1 innings game - how are Aus 3.4 and England 8.6 just because they need to win - if its going to be a low scoring second innings could go either way

Steve,

Having seen the last few wickets go, I agree with you.

I'm nipping out soon so will have to green up. Not as high a green as earlier today but not complaining.

I green up and within 20 mins the draw odds shorten by over 20 ticks!....Doh!

I take that back as Warne has just taken a wicket.

Off out so catch up with you all later

Thanks for post 4560 B-P. Have printed it in readiness! H

Bak

are you watching the final

Federer won the first, Agassi the second and brokrn Fed in the third

Fed now broken back

looks like itll be 3-1 federer

Is betfair down again? Just in and can't even raise the home page.

ok at my end kernow

Ta. In now but took a while. Green on draw and Aus. Leave well alone I think.

What a mesmerising game of cricket!

Very green at present but having to sit on my hands to avoid the temptation of nicking a few more trades.

Have I missed anything?

Harlosh :-)

A few buses have been through but there'll be some more soon.

I was at Betfair yesterday and managed to watch the closing stages of the Ashes there. It wasn't only the England cricket team that were celebrating!!

36m traded on the last match is huge!!!

John,

You missed the lot! You'll be hard pressed to see something like this again.

Next time you'll have to plan your holidays around major sporting events.....LOL

Anyway, hope you've had a great time away. Getting back to the serious stuff, Lets grab Steve and arrange a night out. If possible we'll try and sort it out before I go away in Oct.

36m... I must have contributed to that total as I picked up a monster win, my biggest betfair win to date. Last time I had a biggish win I gave most of it back by overtrading afterwards. Won't be doing this again so I think I'll sit on this for at least till tonight!

Compound,

It'll be a while before so many buses come at the same time I think.

Bak,

Your'e right. Next time I'll choose my holiday dates more carefully.
Read through all the posts since I've been away with envy.

Any time for a night out is OK with me. Name the day and I'll be there.
