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.

I have taken a nibble with some of profits on Burley and Robson.
I don't think Robson is realistic, but you never know and Burley is lined up for the Rangers job I think?!?! But Odds looked too good for a punt with free money.

Just equalised out the risk on Warnock as well. Zero profit if he becomes manager and his money is spread across the field now.

Another interesting market this morning is the ECB December interest rate decision. In the financial markets, not much volume but a raise looks nailed on. I have dutched the market.

If you dutch it margins will be small but its still pretty much free money barring an incredible shock. If you don't need the money between now and 12:40 on an annualised basis its a huge return. I do it all the time.

I see Adam Todd has gone AWOL again. Been six weeks and not a post anywhere, not even on his own site. I phoned him but no answer. A friend of mine who lives nearby seems unaffected by the hurricane so maybe Adam is hoping he can pin this absence on that when he eventually turns up again.

1.40 Fav in 13:20 turned over. Nice lay if you had money on it. The commentators were negative on it, wish I had taken note!
