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.

Brett Lee might have SA pinned down. Have backed Aus to win at 1.5

may take a bit more if the market settles quickly - still think the price wont drift for 5 overs at least

id have risked a few of them ticks for a bit longer, SA arent going to score at a rate that will push the price out much in the next 5 overs, another wicket and theres another 12 ish ticks

had too much in the market not to take my stake back out, seen too many strange things in one dayers - 85% return will do me :-)

On reflection you're right as usual. There might yet be some more action so I have covered now.

I see that we're on the cricket again.
Aus at 1.28.....Far too generous for me, I'd rather wait for my lucky odds of 1.08! LOL

At what RR (wickets aside) do a chasing side start to sweat a little?

depends on the pitch, but they will be trying to keep it below 9 and preferably below 8.
Polly out - price got to 1.59 - i had a lump in the queue at 1.6 :-(
