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.

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!!!

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

Most of the heavy rain through now but will be wet out field. Will they take early lunch?
Going to bed shortly, have to be up at 6.30. Will leave me small draw
lay running.

Anyone on the Chelsea game?
Backed them to win at 1-1 and greened up at 1-2. The rest of this afternoons games look tricky.

Happy new year to you Steve. I hope it is a very profitable one.
Still a bit hungover so shouldn't be trading really but it's the first chance I've had in ages.
