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.

Bak, thanks to you for another great night. Look forward to doing it again soon.

Steve, great venue for both food and the tables. Hope you can make it next time.

Just tried to download the raw avi file from ba pro, but get 'page not found'

As it's 65mb, can we expect to hear you doing an Adam Todd impersonation? LOL

Catch the Perk a beauty of a drifter in 2.00 at Hexham to start the day

WOODIE - 30 Sep 2005 14:00 - 4947 of 10502

fundy lol i laid it and greened up

Fundamentalist - 30 Sep 2005 14:02 - 4948 of 10502

Hexham - racing delayed due to "medical arrangements"

Woodie - layed at 2.02 and backed at 2.48 :-)

Fundamentalist - 30 Sep 2005 14:02 - 4949 of 10502

Jockeys down at the post at Hexham have now dismounted

ptholden - 30 Sep 2005 14:05 - 4950 of 10502

up and running now on Pro version. Just making sure I'm au fait with the charting software before I get too serious. Caught a bit of the Perk, so greened up for a win of 4p. LoL

there was a piece about drifters and horses being backed on atr they stated over the last 5 years you are better off backing horses that drift in the market then backing the steamers.

WOODIE - 30 Sep 2005 14:08 - 4952 of 10502

fundy not as good as you laid at 2.04 and backed 2.3 also laid it not to be placed its a free bet

Fundamentalist - 30 Sep 2005 14:10 - 4953 of 10502

Ambulance has arrived at Hexham, jockeys are remounting so will go off soon

ptholden - 30 Sep 2005 14:42 - 4954 of 10502

made a right mess of the 1430 at Hex, got it back in play though

Fundamentalist - 30 Sep 2005 15:03 - 4955 of 10502

take it from experience - a dangerous game to play - remember in running you are watching at approx 2 or 3 second delay, people with SIS are watching real time

ptholden - 30 Sep 2005 15:12 - 4956 of 10502

Fundy

Know what you re saying, but all I did was to wait for the odds to move in my favour and then placed the bet, just had to do the same again. making hard work of getting this right at the moment, but very very early days. Just practise required. Pro has got that many facilities, it's all a bit mind boggling. Only placing small bets so even if I get it wrong, I'm in no danger of visiting the bank manager!!

Fundamentalist - 30 Sep 2005 15:48 - 4958 of 10502

PTH

having lectured you on it ive just done the same with ther favourite in the 15.40 - there again it looked the winner a very long way from home

ptholden - 30 Sep 2005 16:00 - 4959 of 10502

fundy

lol

ptholden - 30 Sep 2005 16:41 - 4960 of 10502

oops, managed to put a 20 back bet on, much to my surprise. However, covered it and greened up. Much better profit than 4p! Best go back to my 2 bets!!

I made an error on the initial upload which was corrected quickly. I hope that's the last time I am compared to Adam!
