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.

Just downloaded, like the look of the ladder page, especially for when trading the cricket when it helps to be able to see further down the book (looks very much like a level 2 screen)

For want of being greedy, a small price only chart below each ladder would prob make the perfect trading screen for me - any chance?

When looking at a live race, it appears that only 3 rows of the ladder ever have numbers in, does it not display the whole book?

Lyon v AC Milan

The Stade Gerland hosts one of the most intriguing UEFA Champions League quarter finals as fancied Milan travel to perennial dark horses Lyon.

Gerard Houllier has continued developing on the solid groundwork laid by Paul Le Guen, as Lyon close on a fifth successive domestic title and in Europe too they continue to impress.

Lyon have proven their credentials in Europe's premier competition over the past couple of seasons but on Wednesday, are without their creative epicenter Juninho.

The gifted Brazilian will be a frustrated observer from the stands as he serves a one-game suspension, with either Benoit Pedretti or Jeremy Clement the most likely to step in.

Houllier's other selection dilemma concerns his defence, with fit-again duo Anthony Reveillere and Claudio Cacapa both pressing for recalls.

However, in their absence Francois Clerc and Patrick Muller have both deputised with distinction and are likely to hold on to starting berths.

Sylvain Wiltord's fine form of late should see off the threat of Sidney Govou on the right flank, as the former Arsenal wide man retains his place.

Milan have an embarrassment of riches going forward but at the back, injuries plague their squad and it could be an uncomfortable night for what will be a makeshift back four.

Carlo Ancelotti is blessed with the choice of whether to pair Alberto Gilardino or Filippo Inzaghi with the tournament's top goalscorer Andrei Shevchenko, who tops the charts on eight goals.

Whilst whichever strikeforce Ancelotti plumps for will likely be a persistent thorn for Lyon, at the back, the Italian tactician is without Jaap Stam and Cafu through injury.

Making up a trio of veteran absentees is Paolo Maldini, who despite being fit again after three months on the sidelines is not ready to start.

Ancelotti is though boosted by Alessandro Costacurta who, despite his ageing legs, insists he will be available to make his second appearance in five days.

Milan may have the history in Europe, but Lyon are unbeaten in their last 13 Champions League games and have scored an impressive 11 goals in their last four home CL clashes.

But then Milan are not one of the competition's favourites at the start of each season for any reason other than they are a class act and if Lyon are to spring a surprise, then they must be at the top of their game all evening.

Inter V Villareal

Talk of Adriano's possible omission dominates the pre-match agenda in Milan as Internazionale face Villarreal in a UEFA Champions League quarter final, first leg at Giuseppe Meazza.

Will he play or won't he? The decision is coach Roberto Mancini's alone, claimed Nerazzurri owner Massimo Moratti on Monday.

Adriano's form has suffered since the winter break and, after managing just three goals in 14 appearances, the hitherto prolific front-man may have exhausted the patience of Mancini.

Julio Cruz, Alvaro Recoba and Obafemi Martins are all viable contenders to displace the Brazilian but Mancini is keeping his selection policy a closely-guarded secret.

Inter's home form has been excellent this season - Mancini's side have suffered just two defeats on home soil, both in Serie A, to Roma and Juventus - although a 1-0 defeat at Parma on Saturday was hardly ideal preparation for the visit of Villarreal.

Yellow Submarines coach Manuel Pellegrini believes his side are more than capable of upsetting the odds once again.

"Inter are under a lot of pressure because they're the favourites," said the Argentine.

"As for us? Well, we were weaker than Everton, Rangers and Manchester United but we still won so we're hoping for more of the same."

The Spaniards travel to Italy discouraged by poor recent form, however.

Last weekend's disappointing 2-1 home defeat to struggling Real Betis extended Villarreal's winless run to five matches which includes a 1-1 home draw with Rangers in the previous round.

The Liga side's prospects are hampered further by suspensions to Alessio Tacchinardi, Josico and Rodolfo Arruabarrena while Javi Venta, Antonio Guayre and Juan Manuel Pena are doubtful through injury.

The winner of this tie could face Arsenal in the semi-finals after The Gunners dispatched Juventus 2-0 on Tuesday.

Villareal 1-0 in the first minute

Inter have equalised - anyone back overs?

re our conversation on league winner and Chelsea being too short at 1.05 last week, see the price is now 1.15 after todays games. That price will only last till arsenal win at old trafford next week :-)

frustrating day today as been out, i take part in a team tipster comp on the horses (any horse in any UK race). Today the first horse i picked at 6/4 had already been chosen, picked another at 6/1 which had also been chosen so finally plumped for my 3rd choice at 12/1. Went out having only had a small bet on the 6/4 shot. Got home to find out all three had won - now that would have been a nice payday :-(

betangel not refreshing per second this afternoon - keeps sticking - anyone else got probs?

SA v Aus test just got interesting again with the Aussies losing 2 wickets in 2 balls, price went from 1.05 to 1.35. Aussie still need 56 to win with 5 wickets left (though one of those is Langer and he may well not bat having been concussed in the 1st innings)

now 6 down, 1.65 the price and no sign of langer (wont bat today by the looks of it)

Try logging in through connection mode 1 or 17. That will route traffic differently to Betfair.

have tried that but still no improvement

Try 51, if still no improvement then there is something either on your machine or on the network which is causing the time out. 1 and 17 route to Betfair differently so it sort of rules out your ISP.

still sticking on 51. also, dont think the prob is my end because the problem occurs whether i use the pc or the laptop

Edit, appears to run much better when set to 17 - will try that for a while

Its amazing how much you can enjoy a 0-0 game sometimes :-) Was planning on trading the cricket tomorrow but cant see me being up in time now

fundy well done for the gunners good luck

betfair down my end, harlosh too, anyone else get in?
