How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40


ladder.gifBA_Logo.gif


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.

...and I got a few quid out of it. Would have been killed if Nal had come back. Steve - I will post on DNX thread later

well done edward

Best match I have watched in ages.

Hell, I should have kept my 1.50 lay on Nalbandian open.

schiff - 26 Jan 2006 12:54 - 8240 of 10502

Did my greening up via the 'Winner' market where, thanks to Federer's very short odds, you could back any of the others at handsome prices and for a small outlay.

So in effect during the game that's just ended, I was on either to win the same amount (in the final of course!) for just 10 of my 200 Nalbendian 'pot'.

So I now have the best part of 200 to play with in the final. Phew!

And, unlikely though it might seem, Federer has still got to get past Kiefer. (Sounds wrong that but you know what I mean!)

Want to make a name for yourself? Or maybe just pass an opinion about the future? Want to benefit your chosen charity - or maybe renage and maybe just bet and benefit yourself? When the time comes, will either they or you be around to collect?

Might 'long bets' be of interest you?

An interesting site! Check out some of the historic bets and opinions at http://www.longbets.org/

Zaragoza 3-0 up and you could get 1.09 or lay Barca at 40 ???

Chances of Barca scoring 4 and Zara not scoring had to be bigger than that statistically surely ?

If Burton were 3-0 up v Man U at home after 35 minutes then the above odds would have looked generous so easy money or not ?

Federer - Kiefer just starting on 410 Eurosport UK. I do like these sociable hours matches :-) Can't be doing with these all-nighters.

Laid Fed 1.08 on break in 1st set - looking to scalp

Scripophilist - 27 Jan 2006 09:26 - 8247 of 10502

I'm watching but only have half an eye on it, as I have a conferance call starting in five minutes. Kiefer has taken a set from Fed several times I think so a Fed lay is a real possibility for me at some point, certainly at short odds.

bakko - 27 Jan 2006 09:57 - 8248 of 10502

Morning All

Only have the scoreboard to go by so can't see how well Fed is playing but seems to be OK

Just checked the head to head stats which show that they've played 4 times in 2005 with Fed winning all but Kiefer only taken 2 sets.

Fed v Kiefer head to head

Apparently, it's Kiefer's first time in the semis of a grand slam.

Mrs C certainly picks her time to call home with a puncture. Covered my position. Hopefully back for the fun and games later :-(

compoundup - 27 Jan 2006 11:08 - 8250 of 10502

Small question over Kiefer's ankle. Could spoil things for him now.

Fundamentalist - 27 Jan 2006 11:14 - 8251 of 10502

Morning all

Federer breaks - should be all over now?

compoundup - 27 Jan 2006 11:15 - 8252 of 10502

Fed break in 4th. All value gone.

Scripophilist - 27 Jan 2006 11:15 - 8253 of 10502

I grabbed 10% on the fed drift while on this call but glad to have closed out.

bakko - 27 Jan 2006 11:16 - 8254 of 10502

Edward

Kiefer's dodgy ankle...Was that the reason for losing 6-0 in the 3rd set?

compoundup - 27 Jan 2006 11:18 - 8255 of 10502

Don't know Bak, was fixing Mrs C's car :-)

Saw him favouring his ankle after couple of slides in 4th set. More value in resource stocks this morning - off to play them instead.

Fundamentalist - 27 Jan 2006 11:21 - 8256 of 10502

Now its game over

and Fed was 2.74 for that game :-)
