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.

Backed Williams after the first round and then just didn't bother greening up. I picked the winner but what a very poor boxing match!

Doc

to be honest it was appalling

i laid harrison before the fight then took my stake back out after the knock down by laying williams - would have been great if theyd called a draw

Evening Guys

Didn't see the fight as I can't stand that Audley d**k***d

Just been on the Sociedad v Villarreal game. A fraction before Real scored their 3rd goal the whole book was taken out from 1.27 all the way down to 1.1!

likewise which is why i had to lay him at 1.35 :-) against a guy with more experience and bottle

Fraudley looked sh*t scared from start to finish!

Fundamentalist - 10 Dec 2005 22:48 - 6884 of 10502

someone live at the game?

bakko - 10 Dec 2005 22:54 - 6885 of 10502

Could well be.

Fundamentalist - 11 Dec 2005 16:43 - 6886 of 10502

Just having a quick look at the cricket ahead of tomorrows game, at the same ground as the first 1 (lahore)

England have slight fitness doubts over Pietrsen (back) and Flintoff (ankle/knackered) and also have the added complication of getting up in the middle of the night for Sports Personality of the Year!

England available at 2.3 so similarly priced to last times game. Again the toss will be important with the advantage going to the side winning it and batting first. Another high scoring game anticpated with 280-290 probably seen as a minimum requirement batting first

Again a 6.00am start for any early birds

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 06:02 - 6887 of 10502

England won the toss and batting first again, both sides unchanged except England changed their supersub so are actually a batter lighter than saturday

England odds from 2.3 to 1.9 just on the toss

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 06:36 - 6888 of 10502

30-2 and not looking too rosy for England

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 07:14 - 6889 of 10502

74-4 on what is a very good batting wicket

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 08:02 - 6890 of 10502

114-6 and not looking goog

bakko - 12 Dec 2005 08:04 - 6891 of 10502

Morning Steve

Switch on and it's back to a very familiar scorecard for Eng!

bakko - 12 Dec 2005 08:10 - 6892 of 10502

Looking like 1-1 at this rate.

Wonder whether they'll blame it on getting up for BBC Sports awards last night?

Anyway, catch with you later as need to set off for work.

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 08:11 - 6893 of 10502

See you bak

they looked so tired and bored on sports personality last night! A very disappointing display though Shoaib has been superb

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 09:09 - 6894 of 10502

Well a decent stand by Plunkett and Solanki (why not used earlier?) is giving England a total of 200+

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 09:31 - 6895 of 10502

230 all out - shouldnt be anywhere near enough (especially with England a bowler light) but at least its a total to bowl at

bakko - 12 Dec 2005 10:14 - 6896 of 10502

Hats off to Plunkett and Solanki. Still well short with 230 but much healthier than 130+ for 8 at one stage.

At least Eng have a fighting chance.

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 10:16 - 6897 of 10502

i had shorted the england spread, closed when Blackwell was out and then pi**ed off when Collingwood was out but turned out the right decision after all.

Currently small red on Pakistan but if the bowlers look up for it may lay them looking for an early wicket or two, especially with the twilight gloom ahead

bakko - 12 Dec 2005 10:45 - 6898 of 10502

Steve...Nice work again.

I went in heavy between 1.24 and 1.3 on Pakn and now out and all green :-))

Fundamentalist - 12 Dec 2005 10:48 - 6899 of 10502

Game looks all but over - bowlers posing little threat on a flat wicket - neither Harmy or Flintoff look like they have the energy or inclination to bowl flat out
