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.

shogun are you on BT?

Reason for asking is I've had a flurry of phone calls and it appears all BT users were down the only one I know on AOL was still up apparantly.

scripophilist yes i am on BT but everything else was working and that is also on bt,

bet went ok i was on close below 4850

It's a weird one, got somebody on the phone to Betfair to ask what was going on. Betfair access but nothing else appears to have gone AWOL for BT users. Very, very, strange.

I watched this on ATR today, was hilarious. Red hot favourite doesn't even trouble the field and was a heavy drifter in the market. Of course I and no doubt others would have spotted this and taken advantage.

Suddenly everybody starts asking questions and Curley starts mouthing off on camera about how wrong it is that he is being accused. Towards the end of the altercation McCririck says to Barney, "So your horse is a heavy odds on favourtie. Did you back it?" Silence then "No..." bumbling excuses follow. John should have asked, did you lay it? Would have been a better question.

A fantasic opporunity for the asute but a bummer for favourite backers.

Curley furious after Cristoforo defeat

BARNEY CURLEY was involved in a heated on-air exchange with racing pundit John McCririck after the defeat of the Newmarket trainer's Cristoforo at Folkestone on Friday.

Curley appeared on At The Races following his horse's disappointing runin the Association Of Post Natal Illness Handicap Hurdle.

Cristoforo, who was forecast to be a hot favourite, drifted on the betting exchanges throughout the morning and also eased in the on-course market.

The eight-year-old was never travelling well for Paul Moloney and was pulled up before the final flight.

McCririck believed the matter should have been referred to the Jockey Club for investigation by the local stewards.

He and presenter Luke Harvey discussed the performance on TV, and were then involved in an altercation with an irate Curley.

I missed the next race because the on air tussle was so funny.

Second hand car salesman or horse owner?

scrip

sounds like a good one - would have liked to have seen it

some good racing at cheltenham tomorrow - may have to have a day as a gambler not a trader (thatll be 2 saturdays in a row lol)

Fundy, Was a 100% gain from the start of the drift to the finish. A mega pay out.

I noticed the race was called - "the Association Of Post Natal Illness Handicap Hurdle"

Ahhhhhh, the benefits of corporate sponsorship.

Just nipped in for a few quid on Bristol City vs Chesterfield.

2.5m traded, Never ceases to amaze me how much money is being traded out there at the moment.

Good evening Scrip - I also was on the game, topped up my pot by 8.65%.
Onward and upward with Betfair ...

Just submitted my booking for Scripts course. Now need to register with betfair. Before I do, does anyone want to refer me? If so send your referral code via Moneyam and I will enter the first one I receive.

Scrip

an interesting one for you. Corals offer some guaranteed prices until 10.15 on a saturday in their shops.

Korelo today (2.35 at cheltenham), they quoted at 14-1 and guaranteed this price until 10.15. On betfair you could lay 2000 between 11.5 and 12.5 - surely a nice opportunity here (if you have a coral shop nearby)

Or click here.

First come first served scrip - lol

(though if i was you i would put that in the thread header)

I am always a bit slow in the morning!! Re : The header I don't want to hijack MoneyAM's ad revenue.

Phew, First match down for the day. A nightmare watching a team you support. Trying to stay unemotional was pretty much impossible!! However, I kept my discipline right through, aside from dropping my laptop a couple of times.

Got caught by the penalty whilst backing the draw. Suppose it had to happen eventually. Though a risky strategy, it still pays in the long run.

I just can't fathom the odds on the races today. Just seems to be doing the opposite of what it should.
