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.

should have kept your bet on the Celtic draw - finished 1-1

see the Santandar v Malaga game is 9 vs 8 after 5 red cards - nice game to have bought bookings

fundy sorry could not post while dill was around what do you make of england on monday home win?

anyone trading the snooker final, some good trading opps on Steve Davis?

I have been watching it but only to test some stuff I am working on. Some good volume.

I guess a lot of Chinese money on this one, had a couple of trades but greened up now. Still getting used to it so only small bets. Is there always 2or 3 seconds delay
on Betfair? used to near instant fills on futures.

It is so people cant do you over if they have a faster TV feed than you. All in play events have this delay.

Evening all

made some nice profits out of the snooker but no position on the final as been out for a nice meal - had a few too many and hoping for a davis win - hes done me proud so far in the tournament and would be a hell of an achievement if he could win

Ok, thanks will take some getting used to.

Fundy, He has a mountain to climb now, looking though its all over bar the shouting,
what a cool character Ding is for his age, will be good in the World title

Cloudbase

if youre brave enough the frame by frame markets ignore the match situation, made a few quid from the last one, just hoping for a Davis miracle

150k matched on frame 16 alone

Fundy, thanks for pointing frame by frame, its very lively, just made a few on this frame. All over now, very good game though

Pity

Ding wins but what a great tournament from Davis

Cloudbase

the frame by frame can be quite profitable, in some games you can lay at 1.15 after the first red is potted

Will keep my eye on that in the future, a big learning curve for me, am used to scalping
Us index futures but i like a challange and there looks to be some great oppertunities

Cloudbase

with the snooker the longer games (ie upto 9 or more) provide good trading ops, however the premier league where it is 6 frames, win lose or draw provide huge swings but can be quite scary.

the frame by frame betting is good if like today the volume is high, however on low volume you dont get enough opportunities to trade out so check the volume before getting involved

Fundy, thanks for that, taking notes of those things for the future. I can see now
the advantages of the Pro platform so must get upgraded, being able to place limits with offset and trailing stop a big advantage for scalping

Morning all

England lost the toss and immediately used their supersub so its 12 vs 11 again. No early wickets so looks like we'll be chasing another big total

a decent start from England and 2 wickets in 2 balls

morning fundy 2 quick wickets,england are in 7th place at the moment in the odi table they need to get in the top 5 to secure a place in next years world tournement otherwise they have to face having to play more matches to qualify.
