How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Hi Guys

Got the cricket scores and odds running in the background. No trades yet but kicking myself for not getting in on Eng when drifted out to 1.5s (easy to say in hindsight).

Sitting on an Eng profit with no liabilities at present so shouldn't really complain.
Got it by taking out a bot the other day which was constantly flashing up every 30secs. As soon as I got out another one at 3 times the size came along so I must have annoyed him!

18k on 1.01 turned over in a photo in 15.20 - looked a tad suspect to me

WOODIE - 15 Nov 2005 15:34 - 5762 of 10502

the fav was also backed after the race had finished at 10 to 26 on small stakes

Fundamentalist - 15 Nov 2005 15:38 - 5763 of 10502

Just caught a quick glance of the photo - the one that won - its body was well behind the other but somehow its nose was just in front - long neck and a big head a benefit?

Scripophilist - 15 Nov 2005 15:39 - 5764 of 10502

Commentators were going nutty over here. Didn't see the photo myself, my four year old son was showing me his picture of a snowman!

Some decent volume on the Sty Leger greyhound meet at Wimbledon tonight - live on sky (403), 9.45 is the big race

Fundamentalist - 15 Nov 2005 20:43 - 5766 of 10502

I thought the horse racing photo early was dodgy but they just showed the print of the 8.35 dogs at Winbledon and it clearly showed 1 fractionally in front of 4 yet 4 was called the winner

sealed - 15 Nov 2005 21:30 - 5767 of 10502

The days other racing faux pas was in the 2:10 @ Southwell. Sister Eugenie was backed in running right down to 1.01. Unfortunately the commentator misidentified the real winner Spitfire bob as Sister Eugenie. Oops!

Fundamentalist - 15 Nov 2005 21:37 - 5768 of 10502

Didnt see that one sealed - it happened a few months back as well. Anyone backing on a commentator rather than knowing the colours or having them in front of them gets all they deserve imo

Great one on the dogs - big odds on shot just got turned over by one that had traded at 140!!!

WOODIE - 16 Nov 2005 05:48 - 5769 of 10502

morning all fundy did you lay england this morning?

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 05:49 - 5770 of 10502

England making a grade A mess of things this morning - now 5 down and I make Pakistan favs (though Eng still 1.8)

Edward - the value was in letting it run!!!

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 06:04 - 5771 of 10502

All gone pear shaped for England - making money but not enjoying it!!!

WOODIE - 16 Nov 2005 06:05 - 5772 of 10502

poor display should have been easy

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 06:12 - 5773 of 10502

Woodie

i never thought it would be easy but there has been some awful shots played:

1.08 to 3.5 in very little time

WOODIE - 16 Nov 2005 06:24 - 5774 of 10502

as you said yesterday the first hour was the key for the match

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 06:34 - 5775 of 10502

Woodie

cant believe Pakistan were as big as 1.7 with 4 wickets needed vs 81 runs (i only got 1.6 :-( )

Not quite over yet - Udal can bat but a big ask on his test debut

WOODIE - 16 Nov 2005 06:38 - 5776 of 10502

this pair is the key as jones is a fighter

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 06:43 - 5777 of 10502

Just greened again at 1.25 - not sure how many times that is now lol!!!

If we can just get through to lunch then the first 20 mins after will be huge

Fundamentalist - 16 Nov 2005 06:45 - 5778 of 10502

Taken out my tie insurance at 1.02 - i hate doing that - stupid rule!!!

WOODIE - 16 Nov 2005 06:53 - 5779 of 10502

got to go out at 8 this morning going to miss the best part of the match
