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.

Woodie, many thanks and apologies for the sarcasm spilling over from the YOO thread.

I've only just started this job - better give it a bit longer:-)

It is probably your Firewall

no probs what happened to your own company?

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!

lizard - 01 Dec 2005 13:45 - 6451 of 10502

cheers S- i have managed to accesss acc through betfair.com- the prices on the exchange were static for a live race. obviously these should be moving updating every second. do i have to have funds in acc to see live price movements?.

do you guys trade through betfair.com?. are they the same trading platforms

betfair + betangel?.

m thanks

You need to switch on the auto refresh, there is a tick box in the middle of the screen.

Odds on fav beaten in the 13:40!

Fundamentalist - 01 Dec 2005 13:57 - 6454 of 10502

Tried to lay the fav in the 1.20 in running but didnt get filled - shocking ride from O Dwyer, kept holding the horse back and never got in a position to challenge the leader

LOL!

Interesting article:

"Mandaric said his shortlist of candidates to take over from sacked Frenchman Alain Perrin had grown.

Harry did a tremendous job for us and that's the main reason we want him back

"There was a shortlist of three, but the list has expanded in the last 48 hours as Betfair users emailed me to add more runners," he said."

Scripophilist - 01 Dec 2005 14:15 - 6456 of 10502

Harry into 1.17

Fundamentalist - 01 Dec 2005 14:19 - 6457 of 10502

Scripophilist - 01 Dec 2005 14:20 - 6458 of 10502

Scripophilist - 01 Dec 2005 14:21 - 6459 of 10502
