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.

Cheers Fundamentalist - that's really useful, particularly the website you quoted.
Seven draws out of 16 matches struck me as interesting!
Maybe back the draw after the first frame?

Not much money on the Wales games, but it was consistently mispriced, as everyone assumed it was a 90mins game, rather than 80mins.

Evening All,
A bit quiet here as I can't find anything decent out there to trade so just been reading some of the threads on betfair. Some decent info out there. One in particular by a prat named Dazertyuiop's "1K to a better standard of life" on the general betting section who IMO is going to lose his pot in next to no time with his reckless gambling.
Schiff...A warm welcome from me and I hope you are very successful with betfair. I would certainly recommend you read the above thread as I wouldn't want you to be "gambling" in this manner.
Steve....What was Ronnie's experiment for tonight's game?

It appears to be breaking left handed, most left handed shots in a right handed players 100 break and seeing how easily he can win from 1 frame behind ( i reckon he left the lump on himself at 2.7 for when he lost the first frame :-) )
2-1 up now and ive taken my stake out but not fully greened - this could well be 5-1 the way hes playing

superb century from Ding
Amazed O Sullivan still 2.2/2.3 - hes been approx 1.7 in the frame by frame betting - a 1.7 double equates to 2.89
