How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40


ladder.gifBA_Logo.gif

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.

B-P
The current version v1.0.10 has auto dutching & bookmaking. I've been practising this morning using the new functionality on the cricket.

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 12:32 - 5021 of 10502

I usually offer something for course attendee's. I never used to talk about the software at the course but lots of people want to see it now so it's inevitable that I end up running through of some of the features.

I'll drop you an email Helen.

Just watching the early activity on Skyelady at the 13:50

Thanks, must have missed new download for auto dutching & bookmaking last night but will have a look now.

Scrip,
Was only pulling your leg about discount :) :) :)

200-1 outsider wins the 14:10

A sellers race, No bids for the winner I should think!

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 15:27 - 5024 of 10502

Betfair down by the look of it.

Aristo - 05 Oct 2005 15:28 - 5025 of 10502

Down here as well got a lot not green on the towcester 3.30 mmmmm

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 15:29 - 5026 of 10502

Back up again.

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 15:29 - 5027 of 10502

And down again. I'm giving it a rest for a short period till I can figure out if things are more stable. Two lots of exposure on the 15:30

Aristo - 05 Oct 2005 15:32 - 5028 of 10502

Same as that Scrip, annoying to say the least

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 15:32 - 5029 of 10502

And now back, Squared up just before the off!

ptholden - 05 Oct 2005 15:33 - 5030 of 10502

Just about to ask the question as to what's going on, but I can see from the posts that Betfair is confirmed down yet again:-(
Bit of exposure on the 1530

ptholden - 05 Oct 2005 15:35 - 5031 of 10502

greened up now

Aristo - 05 Oct 2005 15:35 - 5032 of 10502

Got filled as well, been using the bookmaker tab for last couple of days to great effect but a bit scary when the site breaks

ptholden - 05 Oct 2005 15:35 - 5033 of 10502

and onto the next race

HelenW - 05 Oct 2005 15:40 - 5034 of 10502

The cards on betfair seem to bear no relation to what I have in my paper. is this a Betfair problem or a Guardian problem. I brought up 3 40 at exeter and got card for the 4.40. Any ideas?

Scripophilist - 05 Oct 2005 15:43 - 5035 of 10502

I've heard of people's PC's being one hour out due to being on GMT and not BST. Could that be the issue?

Fundamentalist - 05 Oct 2005 15:47 - 5036 of 10502

Helen

had this prob a while back and resetting the time on the pc then rebooting did the trick.

(Im just trying to get the reverse to happen now (be trading on thje race that finished an hour ago :-) )

HelenW - 05 Oct 2005 15:50 - 5037 of 10502

Time on my computer is correct and this is the first time it's happened. bit of a mystery. Just clicked on 4.20 Nott and got card for 5.20 My list on Betfair doesn't include 4.10 Exeter.

Harlosh - 05 Oct 2005 15:57 - 5038 of 10502

Are you on today's card Helen?
