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.

Liquidity poor so I'm off to bed level.

Those interested in the tennis check out the match between Hewitt v Chela.

Hewitt, seeded 3, has just gone 2 sets down. During the 2nd set there has been lots of breaks of serves and odds have been flying all over the place!

Chela knocked out Murray in the last round.

bakko - 19 Jan 2006 10:34 - 7996 of 10502

Hewitt is mounting a fightback and 3-0 up in the 3rd set.

His odds have now shortened from 3.5 to 2.2s

bakko - 19 Jan 2006 11:34 - 7997 of 10502

Hewitt has now pulled it back to 2-1 on a tie break

bakko - 19 Jan 2006 12:12 - 7998 of 10502

Hewitt's just got blown out 3-1

Some nice swings in the snooker

Lee was 5-3 and 2 balls from victory when he ran out of position and snookered himself. Now 5-5 and Lee appears to have disintegrated

Fundamentalist - 19 Jan 2006 18:00 - 8000 of 10502

Dott looked home and dried in the final frame then made an easy mistake and looks like Lee will now win - some wild swings in the last few frames

Fundamentalist - 20 Jan 2006 09:06 - 8001 of 10502

Aus vs SA odi looks like its bubling up nicely for a tight finish - should be good to trade

Fundamentalist - 20 Jan 2006 15:09 - 8002 of 10502

Having a shocker on the horses this afternoon - anyone else trading? finding it difficult or am i just trading like a muppet (prob a bit of both lol)

WOODIE - 20 Jan 2006 15:11 - 8003 of 10502

fundy i have found this week the hardest to trade for ages

Fundamentalist - 20 Jan 2006 15:19 - 8004 of 10502

Nice to hear woodie - ditto

Just had a nice result, just laid king bee in running only to watch it hit the deck at the next fence :-)

Gonna turn over to the snooker for a bit i think

WOODIE - 20 Jan 2006 15:29 - 8005 of 10502

well done fundy

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 16:08 - 8006 of 10502

Afternoon All

Anyone on the Man U v Liv?

With Chelsea drawing earlier today both should be up for a win.

WOODIE - 22 Jan 2006 16:41 - 8007 of 10502

bakko seen first half hour one word crap

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 16:47 - 8008 of 10502

I know other words but won't mention them on here!

Problem seems to be too much respect for each other. Nobody seems to want to get stuck in.

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 16:50 - 8009 of 10502

Man U has just had their 1st attempt on goal at 45 mins!

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 17:24 - 8010 of 10502

Rio just cleared off his line.

Most exciting bit of action in the match so far!

WOODIE - 22 Jan 2006 17:44 - 8011 of 10502

sorry bakko lost interest in the match

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 17:46 - 8012 of 10502

Woodie...It's got slightly better in the last 5mins with Man U showing more urgency

bakko - 22 Jan 2006 17:50 - 8013 of 10502

Rio scores in the 89th min!
