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.

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!

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!

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

England didnt actually get the greatest start in their innings
Freddie looks to be applying a bit more control, but the big worry so far is were bowling too many wides and the fielding has been awful

He doesnt look fit at all
Wish i had greened up my lay from 1.25 so early

Could do with a wicket or 2 just to kill the momentum.
Doesn't look likely with Pakn playing like this.

got to try something different - worth giving Blackwell a bowl just for variety

Damn - had a lay in at 1.4 that didnt get filled
Still, game back on now

Another wicket quite quickly should make it interesting again
