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.

Hi Bak,
On the match also. Not too sure what position to take. Think I'll wait and see.
And a happy new year to you too!

Evening Gents.
On the footy, laid the draw and looking to trade out after the first goal, when it arrives hopefully. Think it could be lively.
Come on you GUNNERS!!!! :-)

Nice save by Van der Sar
John, Your lay almost came in there!

John....Careful with your lay on ManU as odds have only drifted out by 3 ticks in the last 20mins unless Arsenal score of course.

Yep, I noticed Bak. A little more movement now but I expect Arsenal to score first anyway. (sorry to say)

Fully agree with you on that as Ars have been a lot more threatening.
They've already had 4-5 corners and that Henry free kick wasn't too far away!

End of a pretty dull half with few chances from both sides.
Managed to grab a couple of ticks myself on ManU
Hoping for a more exciting 2nd half.

yeah was dull. The first 15 got me excited!!
Managed to grab a few ticks on man u in the last 10 mins but I need a goal badly!
Lets hope it gets hectic from the break....

Why have United dropped back to 3.5 from 3.7 over half time?

A goal from either side will hopefully ignite this match!
Just didn't seem like either of them wanted to win.

Yeah I noticed the odds were moving loads at HT. I made three ticks on arsenal going out. Strange....

John,
Not sure (Asian money maybe?) but I find that during half time most odds tend to drift even if the team is ahead. I've even managed to take advantage of this drift on many occasions. Traders closing positions?

Bought back and greened up but used the profit to lay the draw so hoping for a goal now.

I know Bak but I only had a relatively small profit so I was hoping to max it up by laying the draw. Didn't work though!

End of a pretty poor game although 2nd half was slightly better.
