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.

Nice work Steve. Having a good day after all then.

Didn't get in on that game as keeping an eye on Man U as didn't green up and sitting on a big Wolves/Draw liability.

bakko - 29 Jan 2006 17:39 - 8320 of 10502

Vidic lucky to only pick up a yellow

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 17:41 - 8321 of 10502

Cheers Bak

why are you worried they are 3-0 up!!!

just tried to back angola in the other game but suspended as i tried due to them scoring :-(

Liverpool look a very big price to me - cant see Pompey being too interested in the cup though the big concern would be the seesaw nature of liverpools last round tie vs Luton

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 18:11 - 8324 of 10502

Big drift on Liverpool odds for the first 10 mins

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 18:37 - 8325 of 10502

1-0 scousers - pen from gerrard

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 18:43 - 8326 of 10502

2-0 scousers
1-0 barca

thats me done with the footie for day - been very profitable :-)

may have a look at the Buick golf as Woods, Mickelson and Garcia all within a couple of shots - could be some good swings

Harlosh - 29 Jan 2006 19:21 - 8327 of 10502

Green also on the L'pool and Barca games.

Might join you later for the golf Steve.

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 22:29 - 8328 of 10502

Harlosh - 29 Jan 2006 22:32 - 8329 of 10502

You trading the golf Steve?

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 22:34 - 8330 of 10502

Just got in from dinner and having a look

10 players within 2 shots with upto 4 holes to play - Woods looks very short to me

that said very difficult to trade when so many involved as hard to keep up with the overall picture so gonna watch for ten mins or so to get a feel

bakko - 29 Jan 2006 22:38 - 8331 of 10502

Evening Steve and John

Nice to see you both profiting on the scousers. Missed out on that one.

Fundamentalist - 29 Jan 2006 22:42 - 8332 of 10502

Bak

double win for me as had a sneaky double with man u - price was just too generous at almost 6/4 :-)

if trading the golf, bear in mind the 18th is a reachable par 5 and players will be expecting to make a birdie (and there may be the odd eagle)

Harlosh - 29 Jan 2006 22:46 - 8333 of 10502

Hope you both had nice evenings out.

Took some easy money from the Inter game too.

bakko - 29 Jan 2006 22:47 - 8334 of 10502

I'll give the golf a miss tonight.

I had a cracking day today on both the tennis and the footy and will probably screw up if I try trading the golf.

I'd rather leave today on a high.
