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.

I agree Woodie

for those punting/trading, be aware Henry has been rested by Arsenal and is on the bench

Just watching for me

fundy why has he been rested?

Woody

dont know the official reason but one from the following:

1) Tired, needs a break
2) Picked up a niggle, just a precaution
3) Van Persie needs game time, especially if Wenger needs to play 2 up in Europe and any stage (Adebayor cup tied)
4) Saving him for the tougher games (like Pompey in the week) :-)

Prob a combination of no 2 and one of 1 and 3

Great first half despite being 0-0. Arsenal started the better, United finished the better and all three keepers have made good saves (Toures the pick of them for me) though there was also a blatant handball from Ronaldo on the edge of the box earlier

Van Nistelroy still unable to stand upright, Hleb still passing to the wrong team (though is getting better by the game).

As much as im not a fan Rooney has been awesome in the first half

Nice to see two sides trying to play proper football (Chelsea take note)

fundy thanks

Fair play to United, the better team on the day won. Rooney against Senderos proved to be the difference, Rooney was top drawer today.

Arsenal failed to take the chances they had and by the second half there were some very tired legs out there. Wouldnt be surprised to see Toure and Fabregas or Gilberto rested midweek (i expect Campbell and Diaby will come back in)

Worst thing is im out for dinner with a United fan tonite - and guess who's now got to pick up the bill :-(

poor fundy you will get the money back monday

Just settled in to watch the Golf, looks like it will be an exciting finish.

Still recovering from the hang over after Aintree last week.

Evening scrip

just got in from dinner, my book looking ok on the masters. only reds currently are woods and singh may have to lay singh off soon though. Tim Clark or Couples would be ideal but ill take Mickelson winning

How did Aintree go trading wise - as good as Cheltenham ?

Ps if trading the golf, be wary that the pictures are nowhere near live

"How did Aintree go trading wise - as good as Cheltenham ? "

Not as good as Cheltenham but still very good. I went for and got a record on the National, there was so much money on it I could afford to up stakes a lot to get something out of it. But over all a lower return than Cheltenham.

Golf went well last night, a little exposed on Couples for a period but it all worked out in the end.

Anyone trading the footie tonite beware Arsenal are resting several players (Silva,
Pires, Fabregas, Senderos, Hleb and Eboue)

anyone else not get into betfair?

Fine here Steve

alright here

back up my end now - thx guys

I couldn't log on to the website this afternoon, but its fine now

United still only 1.7 with 15 mins to go, currently 0-0 vs Sunderland having been 1.13 at kick off - some worried money buyers about lol
