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.

Congratulations to Burton Albion - a great performance and deserved a draw - nice payday at Old Trafford for them now

A decent profit after all :-)

Well done Burton....Big payout for them too!

got my rugby losses from earlier back - now to the spurs game to make the day profitable lol

Leicester started positively, could easily have been one up

Anyone know who Rasiak is up front for spurs and why hes playing ahead of defoe?

Haven't a clue on this Rasiak bloke.

Just been scanning the forum and there's a lot of losers today who'd backed Celtic and ManU at silly prices.

Over 2.5m backed at 1.11-1.15 on ManU

tottenham 1 up

bak, theres also a guy who had a 500k double on chelsea/man utd

Spurs 1-0 up

Missed out on this one.

He must be heading for the nearest tall building!

Would have had a good trading weekend if youd laid the top 3 this weekend

Hi all.
schiff......nice work yesterday, well done. They say we generate or own luck.

Fundy..... was so knackered the other night on the cricket forgot to thank you
for all your help, would have been totally stumped without it. Working out odds
amount will take some getting used to, so different to futures trading where x points times $5 is your profit end of story.

Need your comments urgently! Rafael Nadal, recommended as a sporting bet by Inside Edge for the Australian Tennis Open, is 41/1 with centrebet (an Aussie bookie) and about 16 with Betfair. I have had a substantial bet with SB (and was instrumental in bringing the price down from 51/1 to 41/1!) and have laid it off with Betfair. The SB odds are available till 02.29 (not sure if Aussie time or ours) and you may be interested to have a go (purely on the difference).
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Schiff

is Nadal not injured and likely to pull out?

I think you may be in a hole here because the centrebet may well be whether he plays or not wheres as on here if he withdraws all bets will be refunded. I would advise checking the rules on your bet - will have a quick look around for any other info

anyone lay totenham at 1.07?

Cloudbase

it was a pleasure - nice to have someone else up to talk to.

I see the 20:20 game is being played at 8.30am our time tomorrow, will certainly not get involved till its clear what the sides are and who is batting first (i believe the aussies are without lee, mcgrath, gilchrist in addition to warne and kallis isnt playing for the saffers which is a +)

nicked this from a thread on the betfair forum

Not convinced it is a 50% chance he will play myself:

"Because of the pain in his left foot, Rafa is now using insoles to correct his foot placement to prevent further injury. He has not adjusted to the insoles, which presently strain his calves.

He has two weeks to get used to the special insoles before playing the Australian Open, beginning January 16. It is a race against time. If it were another tournament, Rafa would not think of playing, but because it's the year's first slam, he is going to make the effort. As his uncle and coach, Toni Nadal, explains: "Rafa has recovered from the injury to his foot but the change of support pressure points, because of the insoles, have caused muscle strain and that is the problem that makes us doubtful for Australia. We will only travel if he is fully fit. We cannot play thinking of getting through one round."
