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.

SA having a party too!

All over

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

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

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

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

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

Hi all

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

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)

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

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

I had a good day on the horses today.

Didn't see any particulary freezing problems but somebody else I know reported them. It's difficult to identify when there are issues sometimes. Is it a local machine problem, ISP latency or Betfair? Or all three, lol!

"They called the wrong winner, which was then weighed in and the bell rung so the result stands"

What a mess that was, fury on the horse racing forum!

Too right and all scrip, its not the first time this judge has got it wrong either, theres certainly 4 or 5 previous examples including a very high profile one at kempton. also, the reason she has the job - she just happens to be married to the chief exec of lingfield! the galling thing about it all is the result was called in less than 30 seconds from a photograph on the tv in which it was impossible to split them and the correct result was only noticed by the ATR commentator!

Evening All

Anyone on the Man U game tonight?

completely forgot about it bak - just taking a look now
