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.

Thanks Choccie. I actually feel far more nervous about a 2 betfair position than I would on a 10pp share position! Only doing it for the crac, as the Irish would say :0)

Re: post 4961
LOL!
Thanks Scrip.
Out of curiosity (read me being nosy) I downloaded his videos. I dont think anyone who has been on your course would learn anything new about how to scalp the horse racing market. But what I found fascinating, was the insight the videos gave into the life of a fulltime betfair trader.

There are some hilarious moments when hes waiting for something to happen in the market and when his trades go pear shaped. His videos are best not watched if there are children present or your not a fan of karaoke lol. Hence the earlier Adam impersonation quip

Some nice arbs available at Longchamp where the horse goes off a longer price on the PMU compared to the lay price on betfair

fundy it must be christmas no probs with betfair so far today fingers crossed

Went very slow from about 2.50 at my end - just about ok now but still wary

Scrip: "I'm not around again today but teams that are mis priced this morning are Man Utd, too little" - very good call

lol Man Utd are still favourites at 1-0 down

Well well. Just too late.

Some crazy scoring going on in the football Pth.

Had a small back bet on the charlton draw, but left it on too long, should have greened up before spurs scored. Live and learn. First time I've lost on a footy match this week.

pth

Anyone else getting betfair freezing on them this afternoon?

Yes Betfair seems to be hanging for 10 seconds, then working for a while, then hanging again. I'm giving up for now.

thanks TPO

gonna stick to having a few bets at longchamp then

Arsenal still odds on at 0-0 with 17 mins to play!!!
