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.

West ham just equalised through a Solano cock up!

Sorry Fundy-being thick!
I was referring to the West Ham game!!!!!
The gunners game, as you say, will prob be tight. I aint looking that forward to it either. We could get seriously mullered in midfield. Veira's loss is starting to show itself.

Any of you Betangle experts able to help with a problem?
First day on the free software have backed Colin Jackson on the strictly come dancing at 1.74 . This shows as 1.48 profit for Jackson and -2 on the rest.
The problem is at the bottom of page it now says 2 bet placed on Jackson at 1.74 Entirely unmatched, having previously saying matched. What have i done wrong?

Thats odd. Well if its gone and ur betfair account isnt showing it than I guess its fine!
Never happened to me. Script I understand writes the software so he'll know a great deal more than me!! I'm a major amateur...!

Bugz, first day for me, so major general amateur for me. First ever bet on a horse race today as well, with a posative outcome thanks to Scrip's Manchester training day.

Bugz,yes read that and only scalping at min bets to get the feel for things, i think scams often create oppertunities for short term trades as in the stock market

I recommend if anyboy is around getting on over to X factor and Strictly come dancing. I have been putting orders in out of the money and closing out opposing trades when the fill. Having some very profitable fun.
