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.

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.

Diego

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!

Placed my first bet - lay Chelsea @1.78 (2)

Diego

Good luck Deigo.

I think it will be an interesting match tonight. Unfortunately I will be at a Maths evening at the local school.

I wouldn't attempt to make a call on the match till I could see the team sheet. I guess it will depend if Fergie wants to get one over on Chelsea who are running away with things at the moment.

That's a brave choice Diego :-)

Scrip, Harlosh,

I'm banking on two things - Beginner's luck, and Fergie's determination that Jose won't win the four domestic trophies. But I agree, normally I won't go against Jose. With odds of over 4/1 for a Man U victory that looks good value.

Diego

Harlosh

are you on the game at all?

tempted to lay the draw after half time if still 0-0 - cant see it finishing that way

Got too busy doing some share research - saved me a few quid

Could be a good game for arsenal when the fa get hold of the video - ronaldo swinging arm, drogba grabbing by the throat - should both get 3 games lol!!!

Well, for me it's downhill all the way from here :>)

Diego

Well done diego - nice start!!!!

Well done Diego.

Have you noticed how many matches between ManU and their closest competitors always have a punch up in them?

Best laff was the Chelsea manager complaining to the fourth official that there should have been 3 minutes not 2 added when his team hadn't scored in the previous 92 anyway !

Thanks Scrip, Fundamentalist,

Scrip re ManU and punch up. Why can't they all be angels like Arsenal :>)

At the moment I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the FTSe to trade below 4793.5 by 11am.

Diego

Looks like you got that too!

What price did you get?
