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 guess it boils down to the type of trading you are doing and the timescale you expect to be in the bet.
For example I may trade 2000 on an odds on horse but i may only be in the trade for 30 secs - looking for a tick or two whereas on the cricket I may take a position at the start of a test match which runs for a few days. In these instances the first scenario is nigh on impossible without Betangel wheres as the second instance doesnt require betangel (but having it does allow me to have a stop loss in place if i need to go out)
I guess from what you say you are mainly taking an opening position which you consider to be a value bet and then looking to green up once the value has reduced with little reliance on what i call "fastest finger first"
If this is the case then im not sure you would gain a great deal from Betangel Pro, though having it may change your aproach to the way you trade some of the sports
One thing to bear in mind with the size of bets, when i open a trade, the initial position may be for 2000 but i am not prepared to lose all of it - more likely only 5-10% maximum, so actually the size of the actual bet doesnt really translate to my exposure

i wrote a few articles for it but it soon became clear that the guy running it didnt have the resources to continue to do so. I havent heard from him for a while and see the website seems to have disappeared. A shame really as a decent idea with some decent contributors

Earlier today the counter was ticking up at about 18 hits/second. At that rate, I figure Dan will be the meat in a rather nice sandwich very soon:-)

I laid Steau to qualify at 1-2 but no where near enough! Ah well, hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it!

Will be back in the 'Betfair chair' again next week, following a long period away from home. Looking forward to the promotion play offs and the world cup and also trading the cricket season seriously for the first time. Fundy, will be sending you an email soon looking for some free tips vis-a-vis the cricket. By the way 'bout time you sorted out that house move and got yer name down for the Golf event! Incidentally, I didn't trade the Villareal-Arsenal game, but one look at Racelmi's(however you spell it) face before he took the penalty did make me sure he was going to miss. Looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. Hindsight is a wonderful thing :-)
