How to profit from Betting Exchanges (BEX)     

Scripophilist - 27 Oct 2004 23:40

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.

fundy,
good luck with the househunting, maybe my time would be better spent learning from the webb angels on this thread.

ptholden - 28 May 2006 15:18 - 9772 of 10502

WOODIE - 28 May 2006 15:46 - 9773 of 10502

ptholden - 28 May 2006 15:51 - 9774 of 10502

thanks woodie, seems ok at the moment but seem to have had a few days where the platform seems to stop for 30 seconds or so and then gets going again, most frustrating!!

WOODIE - 28 May 2006 18:54 - 9775 of 10502

pt since they keep upgrading the site it is very hit and miss another upgrade this week

Scripophilist - 28 May 2006 21:18 - 9776 of 10502

pt, change connection modes that usually helps.

ptholden - 28 May 2006 22:14 - 9777 of 10502

Scripophilist - 30 May 2006 14:25 - 9780 of 10502
