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 like wise closed out under 1.5 goals for 30% profit also closed the match outcome listing to 5 live cheldea should be in front crespo hit the post.

just in time scrip crespo just scored

Well, that didn't work out too well. Should have listened to the advice from the experts. Steve, you were right about the unmatched lay bet, it had lapsed for some reason, not that it would have made any difference. Fortunately, my bet was but a tiddler so no harm done. Best I get on this course quick!!

Scrip

Congrats on the Eagle, hopefully we will see you at the MAM tournament next year and see more of the same.

Markus

What are you doing on this thread, you know you don't understand anything more complicated than 2+2. Oh, and your pay day was all of 50p, but I whooped your ass, so try and keep things in perspective.....................loser!! lol

pth

Pete,

Since this is a 'Betting Exchange' thread, I think The Shark is more than entitled to mention your 9th. straight loss on the golf course yesterday - whether it be 50p or 50. A win is a win and a loss is a loss, mate. OK.

Scripophilist, PTH keeps raving about your course and I am tempted myself. After all, anything which can help PTH to stop losing bets must be worth taking a look at! Of course you are more than welcome to join us for a round if you feel up to the challenge, sir...?

Markus

Please take a reality check. 9th Straight loss? You are hardly going to make any dosh out of Betting Exchanges when you singularly fail to discriminate between winning and losing! One closest to the pin doesn't constitute a victory when you only managed to accumualte 24 pts on a straightforward course.

Scrip, if you fancy a laugh take markus up on his challange. if you want to retain your sanity, don't let him anywhere near your course!!

pth

cant find a clear cut betting stance on liverpool v man u see how the game pans out first

I agree, its too close to call. I'm sure Manu odds would be much shorter if Dudek was in goal!

Looking like a 6/4 draw at the mo, chaps...?

( and PTH - re: golf - stop exxagerating, mate, and like I always retort: "Show us your handicap cert.!" and then we'll see who the stats. say is the superior player? :o) Enough said! )

Just trading a few ticks on the match. Started with the draw and have greened up at half time. Think Man U might get going a bit in the second half, although it's a fairly crap game.

This is a dull game......ZZZZZZZ

Doc and pth.. Thanks for replies. Glad you could make heads and tails of my email.

pth. In answer to your question. I don't think you can place bets during that small delay as it takes 5secs for the bet to be accepted by betfair.

If this game still remains scoreless with about 10-15 mins to go the draw odds will collapse very quickly. You should be able to nick some ticks on the draw.

What a woeful performance by both sides. Watching paint dry is more exciting!

Hope you all picked up plenty of ticks towards the end.

A very disappointing game. Scalped some ticks towards the end, so nicely in profit. Can't say I really cared about the game as I was more interested in watching the odds. Interesting to note that the odds shortened on corners and free kicks, offering an opportunity to nick a few more ticks (assuming the attacking side doesn't score of course!).

pth

onto another bolton v newcastle is it me but the matches this season so far have been poor quailty and not very exciting

Should've put some dosh where mouth was - the NW derby an abovious draw from the first whistle as we will ever get - both teams cancelling each other out! Pete, Where's that stuff you were going to fwd onto me?

A little time out there by Betfair, Don't know if anybody else noticed?

We are testing a monitor on Bet Angel that will tell you if the Betfair response time is slowing. Should come in useful IMO.

The response time is about 10 times slower than on Friday today. (From my machine at the moment at least).

scrip i have noticed it over the last few weeks it is slowing down in response time looks like to many trades are going through and the site cant cope with it hence 2 sats running they had to take site down.

Scrip

What time will the course finish on the 29th. Any idea how long it will take to get to St Pancreas from Heathrow, via the tube?

pth

I'm coming by car and afterwards will be travelling back up the M1 as far as Northampton Services, if that is a help to anyone.

pth, I always over run but aim to finish 1/2 hour after the last horse race. I don't know the race card for then but guess the last race will be around 17:00-17:30

If you catch the tube to Paddington you can catch the Heathrow Express. That's by far the quickest way to get there.

Hello everyone, Scrip took Bet Angel Pro from you a couple of weeks ago, unreal, the complete dogs whatsits. Now if you can just talk to betfair and get their reliability sorted we will all be happy.

Mike
