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.

Yes was just for a trade lol, Aus not drifted out far though

Big blocking trade on the lay side now

Evening again guys,

Just taking a look at the cricket as not working tomorrow.

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:07 - 7378 of 10502

Aus price will only drift if the likelihood of less than 300 target becomes a possibility - another quick wicket may do this but otherwise going to need 2 more - wickets for less than 50 runs

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:08 - 7379 of 10502

Hi bak

you with us for the duration ?

i made lunch 2 days ago, tea yesterday, going for the full days play tonite :-)

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 00:15 - 7380 of 10502

My bodyclock hasn't adjusted to the small hours yet so may only be be able to do a few hours but if I can jump on a decent trade and it gets interesting then the excitement will probably keep me going!

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:34 - 7381 of 10502

theres not much excitement about it today till the last session i dont think

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 00:37 - 7382 of 10502

Got a small amount in at 1.6 on the Aussies a few overs.

Could well turn out to be a slowish session with Aus trying to build a decent lead without losing more wickets.

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:42 - 7383 of 10502

sold session runs at 78 for a bit of interest

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 00:47 - 7384 of 10502

What time will lunch be?

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:48 - 7385 of 10502

lunch is 1.30 our time, play resumes at 2.10, then tea at 4.10 to 4.30, scheduled close 6.30

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 00:50 - 7386 of 10502

Thanks

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:53 - 7387 of 10502

sold some more at 83

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 00:59 - 7388 of 10502

nice injury delay - should knock an over off before lunch :-)

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 01:01 - 7389 of 10502

I'm going to have to look into opening up a sports SB account myself.

Ouch...The blow on the ankle looks painful plus the break in play must have benefitted you too. Well done.

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 01:06 - 7390 of 10502

Hurt him but worth about 100 to me lol

with sessions like this, the prices arent going to move much, the spreads are the best way to keep an interest

spread now 72-75 - hope the aussies dont have a change of intent prior to lunch

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 01:07 - 7391 of 10502

like that :-(

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 01:08 - 7392 of 10502

Boje you tosser lol

all my profit gone in one over :-(

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 01:11 - 7393 of 10502

Sorry Steve. I'm sure you'll gain it back in other ways soon.

Fundamentalist - 29 Dec 2005 01:12 - 7394 of 10502

Bak

not a prob, i have a nice green book, the spread bet is just to keep me interested. Closed at the end of Boje over as Aussies look like theyre finally looking to get after the bowling a bit

bakko - 29 Dec 2005 01:19 - 7395 of 10502

Only sitting on a small profit at the moment. That's if the aussies don't lose any wickets before lunch.

I'll close out my position at lunch as I always find that odds drift out during the breaks.
