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.

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.

compoundup - 05 Mar 2006 14:19 - 9176 of 10502

On Aus again at 1.12

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 14:43 - 9177 of 10502

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

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 14:51 - 9178 of 10502

was hoping for 1.6 myself , big worry for me is Watson still has 4 overs left

compoundup - 05 Mar 2006 14:56 - 9179 of 10502

My turn to play an out-of-the-money game :-(

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:03 - 9180 of 10502

run rate just starting to creep up again, gonna have to take some more risks soon

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:13 - 9181 of 10502

Steve

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

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:15 - 9182 of 10502

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 :-(

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:16 - 9183 of 10502

Edward

That must have calmed you a little

compoundup - 05 Mar 2006 15:21 - 9184 of 10502

Breathing a lot more easily now :-)

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:23 - 9185 of 10502

Under 1.10

This is my territory

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:26 - 9186 of 10502

all for the greed of one tick i missed my trade lol - still thats the price i saw as value - certainly more so than the 1.04 now - tempted to lay for small money, a couple of boundaries will soon see it shoot out, a wicket will see it at 1.01

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:27 - 9187 of 10502

its 1.01 before i get time to lay lol

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:30 - 9188 of 10502

Nice profit on Aus and no liability on SA :-)

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:31 - 9189 of 10502

And thats the 1.01 gone lol

nice one bak

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:32 - 9190 of 10502

Thanks

Starting to enjoy today after all

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:37 - 9191 of 10502

Lol bak

I think i have called this second innings better than many i have got wrong recently and yet have made less profit - most frustrating though im guarding against over trading as tired after the test match (body clock is knackered)

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:40 - 9192 of 10502

Bak - u trading the footie - tottenham look very short at 2.1 to me based on Blackburns recent form

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:42 - 9193 of 10502

SA having a party too!
