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.

Hmm, Looking at the match. Liverpool have come into 1.26!!!

I thought they were a little skinny before, Now very very skinny.

Watford will set up shop at the back and hope to catch Liverpool on the break. Because its over two legs I suspect Watford will try and disrupt Liverpool and kick them about a bit to try and return to Vicarage road with a chance of turning them over. Will watch with interest.

Yep, Wait and see for me too Scrip

Liverpool looking 'punchless' according to Alan Green 5 Live

Hmm, I backed them at 1.28 over an hour ago, and the odds are steadily lengthening.

But I'm sure they'll score a goal soon!!

Second half I think Pip.

Might have a small wager on Watford at these odds the way the match is going

I've been wondering about that as well. Then remembered the Newcastle/Yeading (who??) match the other day, which came out right once the teams had changed ends and Newcastle had the benefit of a following wind! (That was my theory, anyway.)

Backed Liverpool 2 mins ago at 1.63 Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyesssssssssss

Excellent timing! Never doubted the outcome, of course!! Although greened up just in case.

Probably worth using some "spare" money to back Watford or the draw. You never know. Quite big odds available and Watford aint playing bad.

I think Watford will get to the final!!

They are obviously determined Scrip. Won't be putting any money on Liverpool away that's for sure.

Hi, Good Morning,

I read several times the expression 'Greened up'. Can anyone please explain what it means.

Many thanks

Diego

I have copied the image from Scrip's initial posting at he top of the thread:-



Putting it in very simple terms...

As the odds have changed over a period of time, Scrip has managed to place various bets on this Poland v England football match to the extent that, no matter what the outcome of the match, be it win, lose or draw, he is going to win around 570 or so.

ie. As indicated by the amounts in Green. Hence the expression, he is 'greened up'.

Thanks Doc.

Yep, It's basically about equalising your risk across several outcomes. You obviously need to make a profit first to be able to do it. Also there are only certain times you should do it or not, else you muck up your expectancy.

Scrip,
I expect I shall learn all that on your course. I'm really looking forward.

Scrip whens the next course after London?.Its not for me(Honest)A "betting" friend.
As near to North west as poss

No immediate plans yet for something beyound the 23rd at the moment.

Packed up for the day now. Not on the final two races on Wolverhampton. A clean sweep today, no losing positions. I learnt from my experiance yesterday when posting how well it had gone only to muck up the next event!! Nothing like fate to smack you in the chops!
