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.

Can they do it before lunch?

Fundamentalist - 30 Dec 2005 01:29 - 7439 of 10502

I wish i had 30k room left on my credit limit - theres a free 30 for laying SA at 1000

Fundamentalist - 30 Dec 2005 01:30 - 7440 of 10502

i think this is last over - thatll be me too, im going to bed at lunch

Cloudbase - 30 Dec 2005 01:33 - 7441 of 10502

Yes me too, will let it run to the end now, catch you later.

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 12:25 - 7442 of 10502

Hi all

the perils of not getting your bet closed before the off - had backed the fav in the 12.20 and was well in profit waiting for my lay to be filled and the race started - put my lay back in the system as the horse was pulled down at the first - ouch!!!

Cloudbase - 31 Dec 2005 12:52 - 7443 of 10502

Hi Fundy, very unlucky but as you say the perils of in running.
See NZ had a convincing win in the ODI. Had a couple of scalps early on but turned in before lunch

bakko - 31 Dec 2005 12:52 - 7444 of 10502

Can empathise with you as been there, done that etc.

BTW. A pat on the back on your Aus win. I didn't stay up as already green but if I had I'd have been very tempted to slam a big chunk of my pot on Aus.

bakko - 31 Dec 2005 12:55 - 7445 of 10502

Hi Cloudbase

Nice to see you're enjoying the cricket too. Not too long now before Eng and India start playing.

bakko - 31 Dec 2005 13:00 - 7446 of 10502

Catch up with you later as got a few errands to run so no trading on the Ars game :-(

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 13:04 - 7447 of 10502

Cloudbase

i dont see it as unlucky - just indisciplined!! should have learnt my lesson last time i did it

still its gone, now to get it back :-)

Cloudbase - 31 Dec 2005 13:24 - 7448 of 10502

Hi bakko, Yes just feeling my way at the mo under Fundy's guidence, what
i'm surprised at is the amount of money matched, good for scalping oppertunities.
I don't have sky so will be good to watch Eng live, just using cricbuzz.com at the mo.

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 13:27 - 7449 of 10502

Just backed Arsenal at 2.0, 10 secs later Flamini goes clean through and blasts over :-( not going to be my day?

Cloudbase - 31 Dec 2005 13:32 - 7450 of 10502

Fundy......Take your point. Will need to work on the discipline as stakes increase.

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 13:36 - 7451 of 10502

Cloudbase

its one of my golden rules and i broke it - as you may guess im a little pissed off with myself at the mo!!! Still, just have to chalk it up as another learning experience. turned my Arsenal back around at 2.08 for the half time drift - will back again at the start of second half

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 13:57 - 7452 of 10502

Someone please put Cygan out to pasture - the guy is a disgrace to the shirt

Fundamentalist - 31 Dec 2005 14:38 - 7453 of 10502

Shocking last day of what had been a good year - heres to an even better one next year

Cloudbase - 31 Dec 2005 14:47 - 7454 of 10502

Fundy......good to hear you've had a ex. year and as the saying goes "you can't win them all" I'll second the prospects for next year and hope to be here in 12mnths time reporting the same results.

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 21:41 - 7455 of 10502

For anyone who likes major swings - the Taylor darts game tonight has been unbelievable.

He went 3-0 up traded at 1.04, and at 4-3 down Mardle had a dart to go 5-3 up Taylor traded at 3.5. Now 4-4 and Taylor back to 1.5

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 22:10 - 7456 of 10502

Hi Fundy, been watching the book but no comentory here. You making a killing?

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 22:23 - 7457 of 10502

Cloudbase

been up then down then up again lol. managed to get a chunk of taylor at 2.7 and that has left me in credit for the match.

Time to have a look at the cricket prices for the Aussie game now
