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.

Just seen someone take out approx 70K at 1.06.....must be confident on a ManC victory.

Tragic day for racing scrip
One of the all time greats, triple gold cup winner, a real crowd pleaser - will be sadly missed

Any views on tonites footie?
Chelsea price interests me - depending on which stats you look at - they stuffed Betis at home last week and Betis are struggling in La Liga, however, Chelseas recent away form in Europe is dire, I think they have won 1 of the last 5.
Another interesting stat on Chelsea this yr - in 10 second halfs, they have won all 10 scoring 20 goals and not conceded once.
Going to back Chelsea, just a question of whether to go in at the start or wait for the price to drift.
Liverpool at 1.43 look too short to beat anyone, even if it is a European game and Anderlecht are poor but not a game i plan to get involved in
Porto look a huge price to win at Milan (played behind closed doors) at 8.8. Milans recent form hasnt been great and Porto beat them 2-1 in the corresponding fixture last week

Steve, Thanks for footy updates.
I'm going to be on Chelsea tonight as they'll be up for sealing qualification. Can't see them losing this one plus Betis are 3rd from bottom in La Liga.
Can't see value in other games and will wait to see how they pan out before jumping in

are you doing a slot?
Chelsea look to have little attacking options tonight with only Robben and Gudjohnsen supported by Cole and Lampard - gonna wait before backing them
