How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

It's a total mare. The only issue they could have is load and / or pictures. I reckon at least 50% of people use the market to trade out in play so they are going to get a load of stick for this and rightly so.

4 prem games going in play for the 2nd half

We are introducing a Betfair performance measure to Bet Angel next week that will give you a good idea of the load and Betfair's ability to cope. It should also help you maximise your system performance and communications with Betfair.

Scrip

It would appear to be like that wouldn't it!

It would also appear David Moyes is going to be out of a job very soon, maybe Ferguson should retire as well?

It would appear that the NE Derby is not 'in play' today, seems a bit odd, can anyone confirm?

Harlosh - 25 Sep 2005 16:29 - 4791 of 10502

It's in play at my end pth.

ptholden - 25 Sep 2005 16:57 - 4792 of 10502

Thx Harlosh, playing it now. Wasn't annotated as in play though. Betfair seens a bit hit and miss with the footy at the moment.

Harlosh - 25 Sep 2005 17:28 - 4793 of 10502

All green on the derby.

Jadalee gone for a huge walk in the 3.20, from 1.7 to 2.5

Fundamentalist - 26 Sep 2005 15:25 - 4795 of 10502

Wins at a canter

Scripophilist - 26 Sep 2005 15:43 - 4796 of 10502

Must have been a mistake from the jockey! LOL!

Scripophilist - 26 Sep 2005 15:44 - 4797 of 10502

Having a good day so far, I hope this post doesn't change that!

Huge gamble landed with Le Soleil by Barney Curley at Woverhampton

bakko - 26 Sep 2005 17:23 - 4799 of 10502

Not usually on the horses but had a go today and managed a modest profit with 5 wins from 5 races. 100%..... but can only go downhill from here!

Had a massive coronary as clicked on lay instead of back to rescue a dodgy trade whilst in running and made it twice as bad. Managed to recover but only just......Phew!

Harlosh - 26 Sep 2005 17:27 - 4800 of 10502

Are we going out this week chaps or should we wait til you return from your hols bak?

bakko - 26 Sep 2005 17:29 - 4801 of 10502

Thurs evening is still on as far as I'm concerned.

Fundamentalist - 26 Sep 2005 17:33 - 4802 of 10502

Still expecting to go out thursday - suits me to have a bite to eat then onto the casino but open to other offers. Only prob i have at the mo is i have properly knackered my back again so may have to take a lot of painkillers!!!
