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.

Scotland doing very well against France this could be my biggest pay day ever. Just considering when to cover the position.

Same position in the Scoland game, only win if Scotland win but no exposure otherwise. Did not intend to be in this position just mis-judged the odds when I greened up.

Palace Vs Bolton was interesting but only an average punt. Hoping for something more interesting this afternoon. I am doing the garden and fixing the garage door as well. Talk about multitasking!! I just thank the lord for the invention of wireless LAN though the neighbours keep wondering why I have a laptop with me where ever I go.

Backed Scotland Just before kick off at 1.51. Layed after they scored the penalty at 1.54.
Have now managed to get green across the piece but only by a small amount.

Are you sure you backed Scotland? They're not even 1.51 now and they are 9-0 up.

Harlosh, My thanks for pointing out the value on the France vs Scotland game. Wasn't really looking at it till you pointed it out.

Harlosh, you're right I was reading my bets from the top down not realising that the most recent where at the top.
So in fact I did the following,
Backed Scotland prior to kick off at 21 - layed them after terh plenalty kick at 18.
