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.

Spotted an over round 'card' on the Eng / Aus First to score last night. Took the money by making a book. Saw the same thing happen again, but for some inexplicable reason laid the whole 'card' and ended up with significant liability should an Austrian player score. Thank you referee for the penalty and Lampard actually scoring from it! :-))

Scrip the odds may have been attrative, but unfortunately Scotland were pretty crap and from what I saw didn't really looked like scoring. However managed to scalp a few ticks during the last 15 minutes, so a profitable game for moi. :-)

Skill isn't it?

Scripophilist - 08 Oct 2005 17:21 - 5069 of 10502

Yes, Scotland was a pity. But the wind has been behing them recently so this is a big set back for them. Thought they could have pulled something out the hat. I also ended up scalping at the end.

Took some extra momey from the Eng Under 2.5 / over 2.5 goals. Didn't seem a great deal to be had from the Match Odds.

Embryonic skill perhaps Scrip, but it's been a good two days that's for sure. :-)

Beckham sending off was very unfair I thought. One of the reasons I watch less and less footy is the so called professionals attempting to persuade a referee to send an opposition player off.

More interested in making money by trading the matches to be honest.

Good finish to the Amex golf this evening.

Does Daly want to win or not?

Scripophilist - 09 Oct 2005 22:49 - 5074 of 10502

I laid Daly at 1.25 thinking there may be a chance he would blow it, tempeted to let it run. I remember him shooting the highest ever score on a par 4 on the PGA tour one year. Can't remember where or when though. Something like a 16, simply because he couldn't keep the tee shot on the fairway.

Scrip

he hit 5 in a row into the pond if i remember rightly - no financial interest but desperately want "Big John" to tame the Tiger - hopefully he'll drive 16

Fundamentalist - 09 Oct 2005 23:04 - 5076 of 10502

Your lay looking better - Daly short sided himself at 16

Fundamentalist - 09 Oct 2005 23:08 - 5077 of 10502

Awful pitch from Woods, awesome shot from Daly

Fundamentalist - 09 Oct 2005 23:12 - 5078 of 10502

Oh dear - what a sad end

Harlosh - 09 Oct 2005 23:13 - 5079 of 10502

Laid Daly for some fun

Harlosh - 09 Oct 2005 23:24 - 5080 of 10502

Err. Who won?

Harlosh - 09 Oct 2005 23:26 - 5081 of 10502

Tiger

Scripophilist - 10 Oct 2005 09:15 - 5082 of 10502

Daly missed a short putt. A killer. The bet aside, Would have liked to see Daly win or at least somebody other than Woods. Monty did well, nice to see him back to top form.

Scripophilist - 10 Oct 2005 14:22 - 5083 of 10502

A completely unreal drifter in the 14:20 from 5's to 36!!
