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.

My call on this is it's just to entertain the crowd and to sh*t people like me up before they both call it a day in the half hour before the close of play. After all the next test starts on Thurs.
I just hope I'm right.

I think you're safe, Bak. I'm still green of course, just pleasant-looking large numbers on England or India win. India might as well have a go because as Steve said they can always shut up shop if they start to lose wickets.
IMO the market hasn't discounted England's situation. At 80, if the wickets do drop there is a chance for a quick buck or two.

Bak, they will only go for it if these two get the total down to very close to a hundred, be very surprised if the have a go after the next wicket if soon (they have still tendulkar and kaif to bat the draw).
Personally think its a quasi play, outside chance of getting close, but also the psychological impact
Pathan out, draw backers are safe

Its also a lot harder to score quickly in a test than a one dayer as the legside wide and fielding restrictions dont apply, 1.1 was a truly huge value play

tendulkar will not do anything rash for 7 or 8 overs, will just try to give dhoni the strike, he will prob still have license to hit.
Edward - spot on re England price and well done on your lay this am
