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.

Scotland 9-0. Have covered a chunk at 1.40's and will leave a chunk to run.

Cunningham,

What was your original bet?

Fundamentalist - 05 Feb 2005 15:07 - 941 of 10502

Mouseski a beautiful drifter in the 305 at wetherby

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.

cunningham - 05 Feb 2005 15:11 - 943 of 10502

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.

Scripophilist - 05 Feb 2005 15:11 - 944 of 10502

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNN ME UP!

Now all green on Liverpool...

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 15:15 - 945 of 10502

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

Scripophilist - 05 Feb 2005 15:16 - 946 of 10502

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 - 05 Feb 2005 15:17 - 947 of 10502

Well I'm Scottish descent Scrip, so I'm always looking for value :-)

cunningham - 05 Feb 2005 15:24 - 948 of 10502

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.

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 15:30 - 949 of 10502

OK Cunningham,

Scripophilist - 05 Feb 2005 16:22 - 950 of 10502

Harlosh, Man U was a good play 1.50's at half time.

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 16:24 - 951 of 10502

You read my mind Scrip, I backed them at 1.51. Now greened up.

cunningham - 05 Feb 2005 16:27 - 952 of 10502

Starting to get the hang of this, also backed Man U at 1.51 and greened up after Keenes goal. Greened up on Liverpool as well.

Time not to get over confident though.

Fundamentalist - 05 Feb 2005 16:29 - 953 of 10502

Anyone playing the England Wales game?

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 16:29 - 954 of 10502

Well done Cunningham.

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 16:31 - 955 of 10502

Wasn't doing Fundy, am on the footy at the moment. Might pick the game up after the football has ended.

Harlosh - 05 Feb 2005 16:36 - 956 of 10502

It's on at the same time as Arsenal Funday. Not lost confidence in them by any chance? Lol.

Scripophilist - 05 Feb 2005 16:43 - 957 of 10502

Just backed Spurs about 2 secs before they scored. Very lucky! Picked up at 1.24, Now 1.01 to lay.
