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.

Doc you don't have to worry, TV appearance is not going ahead. I get the feeling they don't believe me. Not surprising really I suppose.

Spoke to Betfair and they found the original posting which was on 30th March. I didn't realise it was that long ago.

Diego - 18 May 2005 13:54 - 2806 of 10502

Harlosh - 18 May 2005 14:34 - 2807 of 10502

Yep, I'll be there don't you worry!

Harlosh - 19 May 2005 10:37 - 2808 of 10502

Thanks for last night bak, Steve. Can't remember the last time I got in at 3.30am after a night out in Manchester! Think I'll stick to Betfair though. These casino's make very light work of one's hard earned. Good fun though.

Fundamentalist - 19 May 2005 15:08 - 2812 of 10502

Anyone trading this pm Goodwood has been abandoned due to fog coming off the sea and reducing visibility to less than 50 yds!!!

Harlosh - 19 May 2005 19:48 - 2813 of 10502

Anyone trading the footy tonight? I'm gonna listen for a while then may be get involved for fun. Nothing serious I think.

Fundamentalist - 19 May 2005 20:13 - 2814 of 10502

Still trading the horses - giving the footie a miss - are you backing derby???

bakko - 19 May 2005 20:48 - 2815 of 10502

Evening Guys,

Just got in and checking out the footy. Preston 2-0 up on agg with 45mins to go.

Tempted to pile some on Preston to qualify but checking 1st half stats showing possession Derby 54%, Pres 46% ; Shots Der 5, Pres 0. Looks like Preston hanging on to 2-0 agg lead and happy to defend.

Harlosh - 20 May 2005 10:00 - 2816 of 10502

Steve,

re Haydock tomorrow. Are you not watching the Cup Final????

Fundamentalist - 20 May 2005 11:02 - 2817 of 10502

John

that dawned on me last night - may still go and watch bits of the final on the tv there - not sure yet

Fundamentalist - 20 May 2005 18:04 - 2818 of 10502
