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.

greened up halfway through the last frame - took the guaranteed profit at 2.1 - still i was only having a bit of fun and made a few hundred quid. Looking forward to tomorrow - any plans for what we are going to do afterwards?

Drinks are on you then! :-)

How about the usual.....Quick bite and drinks followed by fun at a casino. I'm up for an all nighter this time!

Bak

If we have an all nighter im gonna have to go straight into trading the cricket - the first test starts at 4.30am saturday morning :-(.

Happy to go with the flow, see what John and Scrip (and any others fancy) but certainly some food and drink and the casino would be good

And yes - will quite happily buy the drinks :-)

I'll join you on the cricket!

Happy with the provisional plans so will see you tomorrow then.

night Bak - see you in the morning

Where are you Steve? You've not bottled it have you?

I'm here and ready to trade!!!!!!!

John

just had to take the dog for a walk to wake up - here and raring to go - ish!!!!

gonna have a look at the prices now - also noticed the golf is on as well :-)

PS thanks to your wife for the lift home

Bak - you with us?

Draw now out to 2.26/2.28. Happy to be a layer though price looks closer to fair value now. Would still expect this price to fall quite quickly if no more than 1 wicket in first hour and am looking to lay at anything less than 2.0

Value appear to be with England rather than Pakistan though will wait for the toss - will be looking to keep the side who win the toss and bat first on side

Worth keeping an eye on the difference between test match end - Day five evening and the overall draw price

Pakistan have won the toss and will bat

John

you still with us?

Pakistan price shortened, Engalnd drifted to 4.7, draw looks about right at 2.28 - am going to watch first few overs but gonna be an uphill task for England batting second/last on this

backed england at 4.7 - over reaction to the toss

Last 21 test matches of England in Pakistan - the side batting first have not won any!!!

Lay pakistan at 2.98?

Pakistan team: Salman Butt, Shoaib Malik, Younis Khan, *Inzamam-ul-
Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Hasan Raza, +Kamran Akmal, Shabbir Ahmed,
Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Sami, Shoaib Akhtar.
England team: *ME Trescothick, AJ Strauss, IR Bell, KP Pietersen,
PD Collingwood, A Flintoff, +GO Jones, AF Giles, SD Udal, MJ
Hoggard, SJ Harmison

Out of the England bet and heavy onto the draw - pitch looks flat, low and slow - should be a lot of runs but quite slowly scored

Thanks Steve and John for another great night out. Couldn't stay up for the cricket as crashed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Just been checking the cricket and Pakistan are 186-5 having just lost a few quick wickets after tea.
