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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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