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.

After that performance, I expect Keane will be offered a weekly 'slag off the team' slot on MUTV. LOL!

Not yet but will look into it. Done very nicely today and only prepared to risk small amounts, if at all.

Was looking at Mgladbach v Hamburg odds about 5mins ago. Draw odds collapsed from 1.8 to 1.35 in that time!
Will definitely concentrate on this breakdown in odds in the future...Looks very lucrative!

Ditto here too. Stuck a small stake on the draw at 1.98 hoping to leave for 5-10 mins and to green up. Then came the Barce pen. Managed to trade out with a small profit on Barca win.
That's it, no more trading tonight otherwise will definitely undo today's good work.
Edit...I think I meant Real Mad and not Barca

Anyone trading the glasgow derby tonight ? Its on BBC Scotland (ch941 on sky digital).
Im confused by the rules slightly on the match odds - if i am reading it correctly the draw odds only apply after 120 mins not 90 mins and if so looks awfully short at 3.5. Can anyone check the rules and see if they agree with me

Based upon the time of the match I would put the odds at around:-
2.24, 3.43, 3.80
HW, HD, HL
So it looks about right.

On 90 mins the draw should be trading around 1.59 for a 120 minute match in this case.
