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.

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

It looked as though it was a wild ride, smaller stakes and take lots of small profits.
Just loaded the cricket, AUS driffting a bit

The rain looks to have passed through. While the atmosphere's still damp will batting second be best choice?
edit ...the second lot could hit

despite any moisture would fully expect the team winning the toss to bat. Sydney is usually a good pitch which takes spin as it starts to wear, both sides would rather not bat last imo

Looks like the draw price has overreacted to the delayed start.
Will be looking to back Aus as and when it looks like they will start, though may have gone to bed before it does!!!
