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.

betfair down - anyone else?

Down here

and here

sites back up but slow at my end

Went down at 15:53:11 fortunately I wasn't in a postion at that time.

Unfortunately i had backed the fav but my lay got filled seconds before it crashed (and the fav went on to win)

fundy what do you make of the gunners tonight looked at it from every angel each time get i different result teams might give a better idea

would guess we will be relatively strong in midfield though maybe lacking in defence and goals maybe a problem. Till the side is announced wouldnt even look into anymore.

Definitely not playing: Lehman, Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Pires, Henry, Bergkamp, Van Persie (not to mention Cole and Clichy)

Also bear in mind Wigan have a few injury probs and Camara is on African Nations Cup duty

fundy thanks

King knocked out in the darts, what a match

Nadal definitely out of Aussie Open tennis

Wigan:
Pollitt, Chimbonda, De Zeeuw, Henchoz, McMillan, Bullard, McCulloch, Connolly, Roberts, Teale, Kavanagh

Arsenal:
Almunia, Gilbert, Djourou, Senderos, Owusu-Abeyie, Ljungberg, Hleb, Reyes, Flamini, Cygan, Gilberto

Gut feel looking at the sides is Arsenal look a bit on the short side. The defence looks very weak and I would be surprised if they dont ship a goal or two (its effectively the same defence as against Doncaster and they had many clear chances). The question I guess is will Arsenal get more at the other end.

Currently not planning to get involved with the game, though will check prices after 10 mins of the game and see if there is any value

Price is drifting quite a bit.

Rightly so imo scrip, 6/4 away from home with a weakened team when we were evens in the league with a full team.

That said wouldnt be surprised to see us 2 up inside half an hour

Juve game might be a good one to trade. Juve putting out a strong side despite resting players. First leg was 2-2 (Juve were 2-0 down), both sides played weakened sides.

Juve look a good price, though with a small saver on 0-0 (as this would put Juve through). The danger is if they go 1-0 down they will be looking to play for 1-1

Odds on Lorient look generous , 2nd in table playing 14th placed team at home and 2.18 !

What am I missing ?

Guingamp have won their last 4 games Dil, both sides dont score many goals hence a low scoring game expected (hence draw price quite low)

OK , I'll wait til they're 2-0 up then :-)

Juve 1-0 up :-)
