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.

Spread firms 265/275 at the start suggets 270 seen as a par score

spreads already at 280/290

Very small ground and fast outfield, England will certainly be looking for 300+ on this

And at 34-0 have just gone favs and weve had our first flip flop :-)

morning fundy

morning woodie

157-2 after 27 overs

Pietersen getting going and book looking nice and pretty :-)

232-3 with 12 to go

england looking for 320+ now

Morning Guys

Eng looking good this am...about time the batsmen pulled their fingers out!

Morning bak

England going well but its a small ground and a flat track - be wary backing England at too short a price

You only have to look at the Aus vs NZ game to see what can happen - Kiwis chased down 330 and the Aussie 1.01 shot turned over lol

Thanks for info and will bear in mind.

Just scalping on Eng at the moment with a tight offset and with Freddie and Colly scoring well have already built up a reasonable profit line

446 - always good for the scalper :-)

A disappointing last over but no complaints with 327.

All green and will wait for decent trades to show up later.

Time to make a cuppa.

Just caught up with the record breaking one day run chase of 331 by NZ of over Aus.

Eng's total of 327. Surely looks pretty safe?

With a flat pitch and fast outfield, anything could happen!

2nd ball and a dropped catch!

Bak

just back from taking the dog for a walk

laid england at 1.25 - why is the price at 1.45 already?

Not quite sure but probably a combination of the dropped catch and already scored at 6+ an over in 2 overs.

Seems a bit generous to me.

Wicket down. Wish I'd backed it now!

Bak

Flintoff hasnt taken the field and is having his ankle strapped (may not be fit to bowl) - the reason for the drift!

Flintoff now on the field

Didn't know that as haven't got pictures here. Radio commentary only :-(

Should be getting Sky connected today...If they show up.
