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.

Re Betfair today, Main site is a mare but the API is working fine.

was just going to post exactly the same comment - i get approx 6 refreshes (ie 6 seconds) on Bet Angel before a requested refresh happens on the normal site.

A lot of pi**ed off people on the forum and a few reporting bets going missing which sound a bit worrying

Still, the colours look nice lol

Hanging on Betangel a bit now at my end - im gonna give it a miss for the rest of today

Everything seems fine over here, four cracking races for me in a row. They appear to have pulled the colours, my theory, the load on their servers was too great when people started caching the colours and other data.

Seems fine now.

Seems better now though a bit late as i got caught earlier when i couldnt submit a bet just before the off - laid off in running but took a hit :-)

Couldnt get a bet laid in running in the last - tried to put in a lay at 2.00 for obrigado having backed heavily earlier - just refused to let me manually submit a lay in running - got matched at 1.77 on the site but my bet didnt

Steve...Apologies for my late response. Mad busy at work!

I agree that a night out is overdue and will speak with John and Tony tomorrow to organise a date.

Fleecing the casino? Speak for yourself cos I remember we were all on the wrong end of a fleecing session last time apart from yourself. And yes, I owe you a few beers for a recent tip.

Btw, Choccie has expressed an interest to join a betfair boys night out.

Chocs, Are you still up for it?

Bak

would be good fun if Choccie joined us - though i think she may be stunned at how much John puts away at the Chinese!!!

How do you enjoy/trade a cricket match when the satellite feed keeps failing? Please can someone ask Mr Murdoch to put another 6d. in the meter?

Edward

you laid the draw at 2.4 average a few days before it starts and then keep adding to the position through the first few days - no piccies needed!!!

pity Cook was out though, have backed him to be top english batsman in the series at some fancy prices

Surprised to see those draw odds come so far back (2.8-ish) and have laid
