How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Avalon - count the legs - only looks like its only got 3 legs


John,

Fundamentalist - 12 Jan 2006 13:29 - 7906 of 10502

Avalon 2.5 to 6.2 with huge money trying to lay this

Fundamentalist - 12 Jan 2006 13:37 - 7907 of 10502

surprise surprise Avalon runs no race at all

the more i trade the more i question how many triers there are in each race

Fundamentalist - 12 Jan 2006 13:37 - 7908 of 10502

"the more i trade the more i question how many triers there are in each race "

I agree, fortunately it doesn't make a difference when you trade but for punters it looks very poor even if it is legitimate.

Scrip

its got to the stage where i am actually letting some of my lays run, there just seems no way the horse is going to be allowed to win. Has to be said the worst of it is on the all weather.

Short term, yes its good for traders, but long term it will drive the punters away which will ultimately be bad for traders

Scripophilist - 12 Jan 2006 14:42 - 7911 of 10502

true

Scripophilist - 12 Jan 2006 16:36 - 7912 of 10502

Bummer, was heading for a good day today but my profit got cleaned out by a rule four in the second to last and then a loss in the last. Cest la vie!
