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.

There is lots of coverage so I have been switching around a bit. I'll switch to 432 and see how I get on.

Steve is there any decent web site available where I can read up on race types and the like. I know a group 1 is better than a group 3 etc but I want more detail and how horses are graded and the structure of the competition and so on.

not sure of any site which would give the general view i think you are looking for though on a daily basis the racing post site is probably as good as any
alternatively there must be some info provided by the BHB with regard to handicapping and the like which may be of some use

If Shake the bank wins I will make about 10k! LOL!
But I understand he is only a pacemaker so it would be astonishing if it did win.

yes a pacemaker but actually is a decent group 3 level horse but should be way out of depth here - only 54-1 in the US tho

serious money at stake - look at the winner of the last race, it wasnt initially entered so they had to supplement it as a late entry at a cost of approx $250,000 - well worthwhile if you pick up the $2m

starcraft has been supplemented into the classic at a cost of $800K !!!! It has to finish second just to break even lol

Bit of a loss there then!
I've had an excellent evening. Will have to send the wife out to babysit more often. Wouldn't have traded if she was here.

volumes are exceptional which has meant when i have traded i have traded with higher levels as you can always trade out due to the liquidity. Most races i used the trading profits as my stake for my fancy and with one double figure winner its been a nice profitable end to a very profitable day (mainly the rugby :-))
Cant remember the last time i didnt watch the breeders cup meet - its a fantastic occasion, one that id love to attend one day

I recently came across a copy of the monthly sports betting magazine, "Inside Edge" which I found quite a decent read.
The October issue gave an insight on each of the top European Countries' top, middle of the road and bottom of the barrel footy teams. There are numerous other sports articles which should help all on here maximise our profits!
The website is:
http://www.inside-edge-mag.co.uk/
It normally retails for 3.99 but by subscribing it through
https://secure.widearea.co.uk/dennis/subs/insideedge you can get 12 issues for 5 by quoting the offer code "G0502XGKM". It definitely is 5 as even I thought it was too good a price to be true. To get this ridiculously cheap price you have to do it through this and not it's own website.
Alternatively, you can call 0845 644 0239 quoting the same code.
