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.

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.

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

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

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 22:29 - 7458 of 10502

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

reports of a fair bit of rain in the Sydney area and the covers have been on all morning hence the draw shortening/aussies drifting

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 22:36 - 7460 of 10502

covers off and looks ok but showers forecast

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 22:37 - 7461 of 10502

bit of rain around on the radar

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 22:39 - 7462 of 10502

play forecast to start on time

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 22:44 - 7463 of 10502

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

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 22:56 - 7466 of 10502

Fundy..thanks for that and the links. Is there a web cam service you can subscribe to on pay / match basis?

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 23:27 - 7467 of 10502

Start delayed, but don't know for how long

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 23:45 - 7468 of 10502

Cloudbase

do you mean to watch the games - if so i dont think so

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 23:52 - 7469 of 10502

Yes, i did mean to watch the games. Looks like the rain will be through
in an hour from radar.

Fundamentalist - 01 Jan 2006 23:57 - 7470 of 10502

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!!!

Cloudbase - 01 Jan 2006 23:58 - 7471 of 10502

Covers comming off.

Cloudbase - 02 Jan 2006 00:00 - 7472 of 10502

i thaught the same and just layed the draw small.

Fundamentalist - 02 Jan 2006 00:29 - 7473 of 10502

Just seen the pictures from sky

covers still on and still drizzling, also quite dark so they have the floodlights on - not sure the light would be good enough to play even if the rain stopped - id guess unlikely to play before lunch
