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'm going to hang in for the draw for now as I believe the lights pretty bad and play will end any moment.
Steve....Any idea on the state of the pitch as I heard Boycs say earlier in the week that it could cut up on the final day. Then again, Eng struggles on a flat pitch!
Anyhow, enjoy your night out and haydock.

plays over for the day
They keep saying the locals think the bounce will become more uneven on day 5. There will be approx 75 overs tomorrow with a new ball due just after lunch. The ball will turn, but slowly though there was signs of reverse swing late on tonight.
As a pakn backer from here my biggest concern is if Pakn dont get a wicket in the first hour then the pakistanis may give up hope as they have already won the series

Steve....Thanks for sharing your thoughts again.
I'm still on for the draw which I could green up on a Pak win and the draw if I don't fancy getting up tomorrow.
Just a quick question since you're the cricket guru.
If the game is going nowhere fast tomorrow can both sides come to a mutual agreement to prematurely end the game and settle for the draw rather than play out the whole day?

Bak,
they can only do that 1/2 hour before the scheduled close and the light will come in more than 1/2 hour before the close so the game should go till 11.30 in the morning

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Decision time. Can either green up for a crappy amount or get up for 5am and watch out for the draw with much fatter profits??

Woodie
early on you often see a disparity like that, invariably it will lengthen with the bookies and shorten a little on betfair. Saying that, seeing the hailstones at Exeter wouldnt want to on anything too short priced
Looks a reasonable card for trading, especially the smaller fields at Sandown

No too
John, If you are trading then be aware that matches are over 5 sets rather than 3.
