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.

Indeed Scrip and if you do it on the National it's even longer. What fun :-))

PMSL!

Birmingham 0 - 6 Liverpool

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

Surely Bruce out tomorrow, 0-7!

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

Anyone trading the match tonight?

forgot about the footie, have been on the darts on sky - awesome performance from Barneveld in the first match including a 9 darter

Boro look a tad short to me but two poor sides

Hi Steve. At my old man's so no messenger.

no probs, can chat on here if anything intersting

So thats where your hiding!

I am.

Evening Guys

Just got in but doesn't look like I've missed a lot on the footy

Eveing Bak. Late night tonight?

Not really, just dinner at the in laws

Ever seen Phil Taylor start a game at more than 1.5? - you will tonite when he plays Barneveld

SA - Australia 2nd Test - late 2nd day. Aus 349 for 9. Just backed the draw at 2.54 - seems reasonable value

Smith wasn't supposed to be out for a golden duck on the first ball of the innings. Would that be a diamond duck?

Not looking so clever now. Gibbs a serious loss. Covered for now - so red on the draw and will wait 'til tomorrow before reappraising.

Afternoon Edward

Sorry to see that you're out of the money at the moment with that 1st ball wicket. Now 2 wickets gone as I write.

Not really following this match but watched some this am. Even though Aus scored well the bounce has been inconsistent all morning and could get worse over the next couple of days. Probably, why Aus odds were quite low before SA batted. Only chance of a draw could be the weather which you can check on this

I'm not the resident cricket expert so above just my own opinion

Thanks Bak, though I can't get weather.com to function at the moment. It must be down.

I had been thinking adverse weather was a small probability and that with Aus having used up over 1 2/3 days in their modest first innings that time would be the major factor.

With hindsight, having to face Lee and Kaspowitz must have put fear into the S Africans and I didn't allow for that
