How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)

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.

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.

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 19:45 - 7813 of 10502

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 ?

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 19:54 - 7816 of 10502

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)

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 19:55 - 7817 of 10502

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

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:15 - 7818 of 10502

Juve 1-0 up :-)

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:24 - 7819 of 10502

Juve 2-0 up

wish this was on tv rather than the dross im watching

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 20:28 - 7820 of 10502

Guess your watching Arsenal then.

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:29 - 7821 of 10502

Yep Dil, watching the Arsenal kids

3-0 Juve

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 20:29 - 7822 of 10502

3-0

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 20:30 - 7823 of 10502

I backed Juve for 5 minutes at 1-0 , out at 2-0.

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 20:32 - 7824 of 10502

Just checked .... it was 11 minutes , didn't seem that long , lol.

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:32 - 7825 of 10502

Dil

about as long as i waited from 0-0 to 1-0 lol

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:33 - 7826 of 10502

Have you had a bet in the other game which is still 0-0 btw

Dil - 10 Jan 2006 20:42 - 7827 of 10502

No , left it alone.

Might sod off to the pub for an hour , not much to trade on the footie this evening.

Fundamentalist - 10 Jan 2006 20:48 - 7828 of 10502
