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.

Becasue it looked like they were not interested in playing, just wanted to get the game over. The chart also looked ready for a break out.

Anyone playing Ascot?
I have just dutched the field - except the bottom 6 or so - in the 16:55.
The last time I used the dutching function was in an Olympic downhill skiing race and got a slap in the face, so fingers crossed. Looking at about 14% profit if it works out

There - that's put my record straight on dutching :-) and it was the 18th runner out of 29 so it only just came within my range.
Reckon I'm going for the over/under 1.5 goals on England tonight. I fancy laying the unders but it's looking a little expensive at 2.74 currently

Afternoon, back again :-)
Had a little tickle last night, not sure what went wrong this time:
100 on England at 2.48
England scored...layed off...
82.35 @ 1.37
18@ 1.36
ended up winning peanuts because of the draw but I intended to green up.
I did what the spreadsheet I have written said:
112 1.36 82.35294118 How much to lay of and profit
And ideas?

Manuel, you need to lay more
If you backed 100 @ 2.48
Lay 100 @ 1.37
Then do another lay at (100/1.37) @ 1.37
Or download and use Bet Angel basic which will green up automatically for you.
