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.

Thanks mega, may take a look (currently most of mine goes through IG but its mainly longer term

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

Just in time for Flintoff's dodgy call exit

Spot on Edward,

loaded the truck with a lot more draw red when it went below 3.0

very poor decision for Freddie

Draw price looking more realistic now around 17% probability but will stay "short" overnight.

I hasten to add that there is no statistical basis for my assessment but therein lies the the hook for me for trading this way. I haven't really tried football. I have mixed fortunes on the horses but I have made money out of perceived pricing errors in tennis and cricket. Oh, and I won't be betting on Olympic sports in a hurry again :-)

disagree edward, draw price still way too short, should almost be in double figures, though real price unlikely to occur till englands second innings gets under way (unless we bowl them out in a day in their first innings)

Thanks Steve, I certainly respect your views.

Just looking for some value in Federer/Ghareeb UAE Tennis

No probs Edward, i just cant find a feasible scenario which makes the draw likely with England not batting for more than 4 sessions in the 1st innings

as for the footie, its a friendly so have laid England at 1.52 for small stakes

Out at 1.58, Uruguay look very naive at the back

there again so do England lol
