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.

Dil....LOL at "Bak taught me everything :-)"
That was just an intro lesson from my "101 ways to live dangerously on betfair"
In fact, if you'd adopted my "kitchen sink strategy" on West Ham last night you'd have been s in. OK, you'd have had to crap it for 5mins but it'd only be mere milliseconds compared to what I had to endure during that final session of Eng/Ind 1st test 2wks ago.

It's going to print as I speak and will be signing copies at Waterstones at the launch date which isn't confirmed yet.
Regulars on here will definately get a heavy discount on the published price.
In fact, I can guarantee that your betfair account will get a hefty discount if you follow the lessons outlined in the book!
I challenge anybody who can even make it to lesson 10 before getting wiped out!!

Personally I think its much better to lay a 100-1 shot on the horses then crap yourself for 5 mins while everybody else in the field falls or is pulled up, much more fun and you can do it every tens minutes if you are into that sort of thing!
I did a classic recently when I was doing a demo for a small audience, set up a trade and started chatting. Meanwhile behind me the race was underway and I had 1000 on the favourite! You can imagine my face when I realised that I had forgotten to switch off the software!

Birmingham 0 - 6 Liverpool
Remarkably inept performance from Brum, especially in an FA CUP qtr final, 6th goal an own goal. Incredible stuff!

I feel sorry for Bruce though. He is one of the nice guys, though they don't make the best managers obviously.
