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.

Please please please can Arsenal draw Rangers in the next round

bakko - 06 Dec 2005 21:41 - 6699 of 10502

Picked up on Rangers draw tonight as well.

As soon as Inter lost their man it was fairly obvious they were happy to sit on draw.

Evening lads. Made a right cock up on the footy.....!!

Urgh......hate red evenings.....Well its wednesday tomorrow so the fun can begin once again. More beer now is in order.......

bakko - 07 Dec 2005 12:08 - 6701 of 10502

The Harry backers are back in town again!

His odds have been as short as 1.03 this morning.

I've not heard any news yet but it seems that something is brewing!

Picked up a nice little earner from Aus v NZ cricket this morning. I'm beginning to like and enjoy cricket!

bakko - 07 Dec 2005 12:21 - 6703 of 10502

Steve......Thanks for that.

Fundamentalist - 07 Dec 2005 12:33 - 6704 of 10502

Looks like Trabolgan is injured again, been taken out of the antepost betting for King George by the big firms - a shame as it had just returned from a long lay off

Scripophilist - 07 Dec 2005 14:39 - 6705 of 10502

Good luck Harry, you are going to need it!

WOODIE - 07 Dec 2005 16:20 - 6706 of 10502

news conference at 5pm by portsmouth

sealed - 07 Dec 2005 16:30 - 6707 of 10502

LOL!
Club Director Andrew Cowen said Money continued to back Harry for the Pompey job on the betting exchanges. Perhaps in the future you should look at what happens there rather than what people say.

All you Man Yoo fans piling in at 1.83? Price looks awfully short considering they are away from home and European form is poor - both teams need to win - a draw suits no-one. Now do I back Benefica or lay Man
Yoo?

Anyone else any thoughts

PS Bugz - leave the Arsenal game a lone - its effectively a friendly

Harlosh - 07 Dec 2005 17:18 - 6709 of 10502

Tough one Steve. Haven't decided yet.

Harlosh - 07 Dec 2005 17:29 - 6710 of 10502

It's a poor group the Man U one. The goals for and against are atrocious for aspiring Champions League winners. I reckon the best bet is the under 2.5 in both matches. On past history it's a dead cert.

WOODIE - 07 Dec 2005 17:42 - 6711 of 10502

my own view is a man u win they have started to hit form which will come in europe only question are they a decent bet at the odds paddy power are the best price at 4/5 true odds in my opinion is 6/4 way to short bookies looking for mug punters.

bakko - 07 Dec 2005 17:49 - 6712 of 10502

I certainly agree with you Steve, on ManU's short price.

ManU's away record in the Champions League is hopeless, their last away win being 2yrs ago. At 1.8s is far too short!

Its going to be a very interesting group as settling for draws don't really help anyone. All 4 teams will need to go all out for a win to ensure qualification.

Most of the other games may well be friendlies.

However, the winner between Sparta and Thun will secure an UEFA place.

Udinese will want to at least draw with Barca to secure qualification as losing may let the winner of Werder Bremen v Panathinaikos have a mathematical chance of overtaking them.

Back to ManU. Havent a clue what to do yet. Naturally, my heart would want them to win but my head says no trading!

WOODIE - 07 Dec 2005 18:06 - 6713 of 10502

both juve & b munich both will want to win to finish top and avoid a chance meeting with barca the value bet has to be munich at 1.86 ?

Harlosh - 07 Dec 2005 19:32 - 6714 of 10502

Unfortunately not around to trade tonight, but something tells me I'll probably save myself a few bob.

Good trading to those who do.

schiff - 07 Dec 2005 19:33 - 6715 of 10502

I am sure it's purely UK sentiment that is making MU so short. I agree it's way too short and have laid them at 1.88. If Benfica score first which is distinctly possible bearing in mind that they are at home and need the win, it shouldn't be too difficult to green up quite quickly. Even if MU score first, I have the rest of the game to green up - unless of course they go absolutely mad!

Fundamentalist - 07 Dec 2005 19:51 - 6716 of 10502

United 1-0 up

Fundamentalist - 07 Dec 2005 19:53 - 6717 of 10502

laid United at 1.3
