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.

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

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!

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:45 - 9194 of 10502

All over

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 15:46 - 9195 of 10502

Glad the aussies won cos it means the next one will be competitive and not a dead rubber

compoundup - 05 Mar 2006 15:47 - 9196 of 10502

What a finish - 3 sixes in 8 balls from number 9 on a death-or-glory run.

bakko - 05 Mar 2006 15:48 - 9197 of 10502

For a moment I thought it was "here we go again time". At least I had no loss on SA.

Steve..I'm going to have a time out so will give the Spurs game a miss

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 16:10 - 9198 of 10502

Might do the same bak, need some kip

just looking at tonights golf, Woods is 2 clear going into the final round but the price at 1.4 looks woefully short, certainly as a trade. Will put a small lay in and look to back him back when he starts to struggle hopefully :-) the only worry, that Woods has led or shares the lead in 45 tournaments in the past and won 40 of them - a truly amazing ratio for front running

Fundamentalist - 05 Mar 2006 16:12 - 9199 of 10502

phew, glad i did, spurs 1-0 up early

Fundamentalist - 06 Mar 2006 14:45 - 9200 of 10502

Hi all

anyone using betfair/betangel this pm - both keep sticking quite badly my end - anyone else got probs

Fundamentalist - 06 Mar 2006 15:26 - 9201 of 10502

Katies tutor in the 3.30

gone from 5/1 to 8/1 on course
gone from 7.5 to 23 on here

someone doesnt fancy its chances much!!!

WOODIE - 06 Mar 2006 15:34 - 9202 of 10502

fundy just got back in not used betfair yet is yours alright now?

bakko - 06 Mar 2006 15:37 - 9203 of 10502

Seems ok here but only in the last 15mins as not been on earlier

bakko - 06 Mar 2006 15:41 - 9204 of 10502

One thing I have noticed since betfair's new platform is that I frequently get stuck when loading a market and have to reload. This is on betfair only and not on betangel.

Fundamentalist - 06 Mar 2006 15:56 - 9205 of 10502

Woodie

still sticking a little, nothing serious just my 1 second refresh can take 3 or 4 seconds occasionally. betangel froze on me completely at one stage (cue mass panic lol)

WOODIE - 06 Mar 2006 16:04 - 9206 of 10502

working fine here same as bakko takes a bit longer to load the nice graphics

Fundamentalist - 06 Mar 2006 17:03 - 9207 of 10502

Lingfield 4.30 went to a photo. They called the wrong winner, which was then weighed in and the bell rung so the result stands. They then realised they had called the wrong winner (the other had been backed at heavy odds on in the photo).

So the second past the post is the official winner and betfair have settled that way - most bookies are either paying out on both or as a dead heat

photo looked a dead heat to me
