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.

Fundamentalist,

I know what you mean, I've looked at this match and thought 1.2 looked a bit short (although I could say with any authority what the odds should be) but I was thinking scalping would be the best tactic here before greening up for a (probably) very small profit. Unfortunately I will be working so can't trade for more than about the next 10 mins which probably isn't long enough to make anything here.

i have a 46.00 profit on O'sullivan for the title without any liability if he doesn't do it. Could do with him getting a bit further before I spread the risk for guaranteed profit.

Fundamentalist - 13 Oct 2005 14:16 - 5137 of 10502

1-0 to O sullivan looks like going 1-1

Two nice favourites to trade to start the horses day - both won too so fav backers look like having another good day

Fundamentalist - 13 Oct 2005 14:22 - 5138 of 10502

Swail messed up, 2-0 O Sullivan

Fundamentalist - 13 Oct 2005 15:55 - 5139 of 10502

Someone is determined to keep Miss Shakiras price where it is in the 3.55 at Ludlow moving 100k either side of the book - either that or scrip is now trading 10k a tick

LOL!

Not me, but some good volume at Newmarket today so I have had a good day. 13/18 and some biggies in their today.

Fundamentalist - 13 Oct 2005 17:32 - 5141 of 10502

Only traded 6 races, had 3 good winners and 1 big losers, also laid an odds on shot in running that never got within 5 lengths of the winner (not a usual tactic of mine but looking gifthorses in the mouth and all that)

Playing golf today, so no racing. Pity, I've really been enjoying myself since attending Scrip's course. Only one more week to go before back to work as well, so best make the most of it while I can.

Dil - 14 Oct 2005 09:39 - 5145 of 10502

Lol , see you got a busy weekend planned then :-)

Can't find the full weekend in play soccer list anywhere.

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 09:43 - 5146 of 10502

Dil

had a quick look and doesnt look as though the coupon has been listed. Maybe they are delaying it or not going in play due to recent saturday site problems?

Scripophilist - 14 Oct 2005 11:05 - 5147 of 10502

When I was in Betfair this week they reckon the Saturday issues were a rogue user who has now been put to pasture so things should be much better now.

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 15:00 - 5148 of 10502

Amorist a cracker to trade in the 3.00, go back what i lost on the previous race!!!

Scripophilist - 14 Oct 2005 15:30 - 5149 of 10502

Quite a difficult race to call though with all the leaders in the field at similar prices.

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 21:34 - 5150 of 10502

Just nicked on to the rugby and laid Leicester at 1.03 - they are now 16-16 with 6 mins to go (and still odds on) - not green yet

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 21:36 - 5151 of 10502

draw odds against at 16-16 with 2 mins to go!!!

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 21:39 - 5152 of 10502

draw was at 1.25 when the match finished !!!! dont ever see that in football

Scripophilist - 14 Oct 2005 21:39 - 5153 of 10502

Well done, in contrast I am catching up on paperwork tonight!

Fundamentalist - 14 Oct 2005 21:41 - 5154 of 10502

i only turned over to see if the golf had started!!!!
