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.

Great to see Henry back - hope he is fit and ready to return

Harlosh - 18 Oct 2005 20:02 - 5223 of 10502

Not certain who does and doesn't need to win so reluctant at the moment to go in heavy.

Will have to do my sums.

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:04 - 5224 of 10502

On the basis of only 2 games played so far everyone needs to win, though i agree some more than others

have united started as poorly as the drift in their price implies?

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:06 - 5225 of 10502

Welcome back Thierry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:16 - 5226 of 10502

After 30 mins only 1 goal in 8 games - the under 2.5 backers will be happy

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:17 - 5227 of 10502

Bayern 1-0 vs Juve - keepers had a shocker

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:23 - 5228 of 10502

Bayern 2-0 up - glad i left Juve alone!!!

ptholden - 18 Oct 2005 20:39 - 5229 of 10502

trying a differnt stratgegy this evening, so laid Juve at the start, rather than lumping in on the teams I 'think' will win. Green on the bayern match now and will look for further trading opportunities during the second half of this one and the others.


Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:42 - 5230 of 10502

Stand out value out half time appears to be Barca - sure to get a rocket at half time and now trading at 2.16. Tempted to have a few quid on Lille at 10.0. If cant find any value will look to scalp the Arsenal game

Anyone else trading?

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 20:43 - 5231 of 10502

PTH

well done on the Juve game - did you lay Juve expecting Munich to win or because you thought it would be tight and likely to stay 0-0 for a while - interested to know your reasoning as Juve looked good value to me but WFDIK

ptholden - 18 Oct 2005 20:58 - 5232 of 10502

Steve

Didnt expect Juve to win, so went with the draw or Bayern win. Must say I didn't expect Bayern to score twice so quickly, but hey, who cares? (Juve, i suppose!)

Looking to scalp for the rest of the evening on Arsenal and bayern and anyone alse who manages to score a goal.

Agree Barca look good value, but.......

Harlosh - 18 Oct 2005 21:04 - 5233 of 10502

Scholes sent off.

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 21:05 - 5234 of 10502

Bremen 1-0 up - doh!

How late was scholes?

ptholden - 18 Oct 2005 21:09 - 5235 of 10502

Sorry Steve
Should have kept my bremen thoughts to myself

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 21:15 - 5236 of 10502

At least Henry is back and on fire - 2-0 and all wrapped up - just a shame my scalp lay had just got filled

Henry now scored more goals for Arsenal than anyone else

ptholden - 18 Oct 2005 21:21 - 5237 of 10502

Greened up on Arsenal afetr scalping away
Greend up on bayern having done the same
Scalping the draw at man U for all I'm worth
Fingers crossed

Fundamentalist - 18 Oct 2005 21:38 - 5238 of 10502

PTH

Scalped arsenal but a disappointing night for trading

Harlosh - 18 Oct 2005 21:47 - 5239 of 10502

Agreed.

ptholden - 18 Oct 2005 21:53 - 5240 of 10502

Having a good ol evening until I got caught out by the late Udinese equaliser. One unmatched bet ruined what was a much better night for me from a trading perspective. I wasn't even going to bother with Udinese / Bremen :-(

pth

Scripophilist - 18 Oct 2005 22:06 - 5241 of 10502

I had a pretty quiet night. Made some money on the Man U match and bit here and there but nothing outrageous.
