How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

Lacy to beat Calzaghe looks attractive......

bakko - 04 Mar 2006 20:37 - 9087 of 10502

Thanks Mr E but not too hot on boxing. Currently on Real game and got a free bet, just waiting to green up.

Steve...Thanks for your opinion and will gladly take on board. Much appreciated.

Mr Euro - 04 Mar 2006 20:40 - 9088 of 10502

its like Mike Tyson (in his prime) talking on Bruno - lots of heart but not a hope in hell. It's like the brits backing Henman to win Wimbledon.

Hey Peter, hows things?

Fundamentalist - 04 Mar 2006 20:42 - 9089 of 10502

Mr Eur0 had a look at that, cant believe the prices are so close, thought Lacey would be 1/2 at best, but no interest in being up at 2am to watch it when i am planning to be up for 4.30 for the cricket

Mr Euro - 04 Mar 2006 20:57 - 9090 of 10502

I know Fundy, seems to good to be true hmmmmmmm. Go to bed now and be up for both, or dont sleep like me :-)

"Hey Peter, hows things?"

Very good indeed, We haven't spoken for ages, we should catch up soon.

Mr Euro - 04 Mar 2006 23:25 - 9092 of 10502

Excellent, will drop you a line next week and lets have lunch/dinner.

Calzagie looks like he knows he has no chance, I can't believe these odds.

Mega Bucks - 05 Mar 2006 03:16 - 9093 of 10502

Calzagie just superb !!!

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 04:31 - 9094 of 10502

Sounds like i missed a good fight, very surprised by the comprehensiveness of the result

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 04:56 - 9095 of 10502

Hoggard removes Sehwag for 0 and were off and running

WOODIE - 05 Mar 2006 06:42 - 9096 of 10502

morning fundy

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 07:52 - 9097 of 10502

Morning Fellas

India at 90-1. A draw pretty much a certainty then.

WOODIE - 05 Mar 2006 07:56 - 9098 of 10502

morning bakko got up early for golf which is delayed agree with draw for cricket

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 07:58 - 9099 of 10502

Hi Woodie

It better be a draw cos I lumped on at 1.08

WOODIE - 05 Mar 2006 08:07 - 9100 of 10502

iam on at around the same price

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 08:17 - 9101 of 10502

Woodie

Draw price has come right in over the last 20mins so we're both looking good so far.

WOODIE - 05 Mar 2006 08:21 - 9102 of 10502

should be easy money but you never know?

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 08:32 - 9103 of 10502

Agree with you but just been trying to work out the possibilitiies of the draw going tits up.

India have 9 wickets and need 254 of 44overs. An over rate of 5.7+. Highly unlikely as their current RR is only 2.48.

Eng need 9 wickets and on pitch which never went downhill also looks unlikely.

Conclusion...Easy money!!

Harlosh - 05 Mar 2006 08:45 - 9104 of 10502

Looks like there's nothing left for me then :-))

Dil - 05 Mar 2006 08:47 - 9105 of 10502

No chance of India getting the required runs as they don't even look as though they are trying to.

9 wickets in just a little over one session when only 23 have fallen in the last 13+ sessions looks a very very long shot.

Conclusion , draw even over priced at 1.01 .... now watch them make me eat my words.
