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.

got out and reversed it :-) - feels horrible to win money on the welsh but it soon became apparent that the Aussie front 5 are truly appalling and despite tuqiri making a break every time he got the ball i had to back the welsh. Fair play to their forwards who did a nice job on the aussie front 5
just watched the France SA game - another cracker. Cant see any of the home nations troubling the french at the mo

What happened there on the West Ham vs Man U match? Saw it was suspended for a bit but don't know why. (I am aware of the goal)

O'shea fouled (booked) right on the edge of the penalty area. I guess betfair thought there was chance of last man and red card.

First bet for a while today on the Everton v Newc game, (laid Everton) felt somewhat miffed at the referee decision not too award Newc a penalty just before half time which ultimately led to a sizeable loss on the match (couldn't get an internet connection). However, backed Utd when one down at 3.2 and greened up at 1.14 for a very nice profit. So ended well up on the day. :-))

pth... Nice to see you on here again and well done.
Been dormant over the weekend as been away and suffered with a bout of food poisoning (not the wife's cooking). I felt like the guy in the film, Trainspotting! Also been busy with the house move which will occupy me for the next 10 days.
Can't see much trading being done but I'm sure I can squeeze something in. :-(

Draw price and Windies win look slightly out of kilter to me, think draw should be shorter and windies longer
