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.

Murray through again.

Made a little on the back of him.

Afternoon all

Made the mistake of trying to trade 2 sports at once this afternoon - had a shocker on the horses but having a field day on the cricket

I'm off to watch Simply Red at the MEN with a munch in the Yum Yum first so no trading for me for the rest of the day.

Good luck with the cricket Steve.

Have a good night John

Re the cricket - I sold the spread on SA runs at 258 - theyve got 172 with 4 overs to go - and at 20 a point :-)))

Well done Steve!

John, Enjoy the Simply Red do tonight. Yum Yum again! You must love the place.

Been having a go at the horses today and got 12/12 with an outrageous win on one race. So a good day here too.

Bak

Well done on the horses - unlike you to be trading them when there is tennis on!

I was 0/3 on the horses - just goes to show what happens when not fully focussed!!!

Still won 57 points on the cricket spread and a lump laying 225 or more at 1.5/1.6 and still got the second innings to come :-)

An incredibly dull day over here. Nothing much to report, I was in the wrong frame of mind today I think.

Steve,

I've gone off the tennis recently having got stung a while ago. Thought I'd have a go on the nags. Only picked up small profits per race but quite happy with it.

On one of the races I layed the fav but couldn't back it back so was hoping to catch it in play. As it lost I managed to pick up a hefty profit!

fundy do you know why the spurs game is a 1pm k/off

Woodie

not sure but it will be driven by TV wanting to show the game and what time the police were happy with i guess

With regard to the horses, got stung earlier on a horse i backed and my lay hadnt been fully filled when the race started. Tried to lay the rest off in running but had no chance as the horse fell at the first and hence i lost some of my stake (thankfully 80% of the lay was filled when it fell). I only mention this as a reminder to those who consider trying to trade off in running as to what can happen and i have now added a further rule to my "gospel trading rules" - only ever trade horses when trading no other sport

Laid NZ after the Astle wicket with SA looking deadly and the visitors not getting the scoring moving. Looking good and staying short with 2nd wicket gone :-)

NZ attacking. Covered for now. Big moves to trade here :-)

Hi compound

trying to sit on my hands as nice and green on the match and made a killing on 1st innings spread - been and painted the garage to have a break but came back and had to lay NZ at 1.26

Get in you beauty - another wicket!!!

Managed to lay some off at 2.0 - nice to see a wrong price appear :-) NZ still look a bit short to me

I have just uploaded a promotional video for Bet Angel that I have created for a campaign we will be running. If you are interested you can view it here: -

Really pleased to see Monty close to winning the European order of merit.

Afternoon All,

Spent most of the morning getting my head around the new dutching/bookmaking features. Its quite a potent and powerful tool but only in the right hands. I'll probably need to view the tutorials several times over before getting to grips with it fully.

Scrip, Thanks for the new features but is there a chance of adding a few more tutorials at a later date.

No trading yet, but I see that Spurs are already 1-0 up

Chelsea traded at 1.01 at 2-0 up, now 2-2 lol

Betfair having a few probs this afternoon - very slow settling bets, Charlton v Bolton not inplay though it is supposed to be etc etc

having a break till later, will be having a punt on the breeders cup meet tonight

fundy still waiting to be paid out on wigan match checked 1/2 hour ago still not settled?
