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.

Unreal game between Senegal and Zimbabwe

Senegal were 1.5 just before kick off and traded down to 1.3 in the first half. At half time, it is 0-0 and they are back at 1.5

To say Senegal should be at least 4-0 is an understatement, they have had a perfectly good goal disallowed, missed 2 open goals from a yard, hit the post and spurned a handful of other good chances.

The market obviously reacted to correct what was clearly an incorrect starting price. I have currently scalped 12 ticks and want to lump on Senegal but will prob drip some money in during the second half

Ps if anyone else is watching On Eurosport - what the f*** is Fashanu wearing lol

If this stays at 0-0 for a bit longer the draw collapse will be huge - it is 3.8 with 40 mins to go

Finally Senegal go 1-0 up :-)

Tennis was good today, having a cracking time on the football this evening, Just messing around really but have called it right each time. It happens now and again!!!

May I recruit the experts on here for some advice please!

Had Haas managed to hang on and beat Federer this morning, I would have been in clover - see later. Federer's game seemed to go to pieces in the 3rd and 4th sets and the vibes coming from him weren't good. Conversely Haas really seemed up for it and his desire seemed greater than Federer's. Sadly (for me) class told in the end plus a dodgy call - which I didn't see played back by Eurosport. Haas a bit unlucky.
But to me it did show that Federer isn't the perfect machine he has looked so far.

To the point. I am currently holding two bets for the outright winner - Nalbandian at 200 to 10 and Davydenko at 298 to 2. Nalbandian's odds are currently about half that and Davydenko's about the same (imagine what they would have been had Haas won - see what I mean about the clover?).

I don't want to green up as for 12 I want a bit of fun and I want to maximise my return. One way is just to let them run but if I was in this position and Nalbandian was playing Federer in the final, I could perhaps ensure a win of 70 to 80 whatever happened. But there's a longish way to go.

OK - what would your technique be over the next two rounds to achieve something like a decent win at the end of it all?
