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.

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.

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

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.

John
I have the luxury of being on my own for the weekend - i am already prepared - i have 2 tvs set up in the lounge - rugby on terrestrial, football on sky. I dont trade on Arsenal games hence the rugby will be on the betfair screen.
And yes, as far as the league is concerned, were playing for 2nd/3rd now - and wouldnt want to be backing them today with Campbell and Toure missing.

Fundy, Sounds like you are really set up for this evening, LOL!
"And yes, as far as the league is concerned, were playing for 2nd/3rd now - and wouldnt want to be backing them today with Campbell and Toure missing."
I'll be watching the match but no decision on how to play it. Will see how Arsenal react to the result mid week.
