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.

Out at 1.15

Well done

Been down to the new place this evening so missed the fun on Villa. Looks like they're going out.

Definitely going out now!

Damn! dinner turned up at the wrong time

Trading the tennis the am Steve?

Morning john

had a bit of a disagreement with the alarm clock this am - only just got up!!!

trying to get my head round the cricket at the mo

Morning All,

Anyone on the cricket?

I get the impression that Pak are slowing things up with the run rate over the last couple of hours and trying to play out a draw despite wickets falling.

Apparently, its quite dark and the floodlights are on. I'm sure the batsmen will take bad light as soon as offered.

I'm currently on the draw.

Hi everyone

Thanks Scrip for the presentation at Manchester, I downloaded bet angel pro for the months trial yesterday. I am reading all the posts and am only up to 881 so far.
So please excuse the question if its been answered before.
During last nights game between Villa and Doncaster at one point I was about to Lay Villa at 5, the bets were suspended and I missed it. when it opend up it was at 19. I left it allone. the Back was arround 19 and then driffted out.
Question, If I Layed it at 5 then Backed it at say 30 would I be able to green up and be in the money.
I will be attending a training course some time in 2006. However I am just trying it out.
Thanks

Bak

days play over - more time lost to the light - missed my alarm this morning so didnt trade as much. The draw looks more likely to me now than it did yesterday (assuming inzy returns) though the price is holding up

355

Welcome on board, yes you would have.

For example, say you had laid Villa for 100 at 5.0 you would have had 100 profit on Doncaster and draw and 400 loss on Villa. Once the price went to 30, if you then backed Villa for 16 at 30, you would have had 84 on the draw and doncaster and 80 on villa.

Draw price likely to lengthen when England start batting (or before if they bowl pakistan out early tomorrow) Also the outside possibility Inzy cant bat again (hes gone to hospital for a precautionary xray - any chance of an english doctor?) - the price will move out on the news if it comes (so says the draw layer lol)

Thanks, back to reading the posts

Steve....Thanks for the info.

355....A welcome from me too. Steve has answered your question very well. Personally, If Villa had gone out to 30s I would probably not bother to green up at all (this is the gambler in me) but I would need to be watching the game to see how badly they were playing, how many goals they were down by, how much is left of the game, etc, etc
As a beginner I would always recommend you green up every time. Cuts out the stresses!

Poxy site has frozen again

Bak if youd been watching you wouldnt even have contemplated greening up!!!

Back for 10 seconds and then gone again

Interesting having the volume chart - shows clearly nothing go through

I have a very big exposure on the 13:30, In the lap of the gods now.

Site down good and proper now

this is happening far too often

Listening to the commentary and praying!

which horse scrip?

Sites running like a donkey. I see the 1:20 never went in play. Ticked off quite a few punters on the forum, until that crashed as well. ;~)
