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.

Sorry to be super thick but if you lay Thurin, and there is a draw, you collect yeah? Then why are there such good odds on it? I know I'm missing a piece of the jigsaw!!

Layed the draw at 1.13

From looking a bit of a mess at half time this is turning out to be a good result.

Wonder what Sir Alec will kick at Rooney? A boot? Sven was in the crowd too.

Hmmm?

"Wayne, a pain again (in Spain)!"

Doc, I didn't realise you worked for the Sun!

Wasn't looking at the Arsenal odds this evening, but I would imagine that they were quite steep. So yes you would have collected had Thun not won, but only the amount you had staked, say, for example 5. The flip side would have been expensive as had the odds been 10 and the stake 5 and Thun gone onto win, you would have lost 45 for the possible gain of 5. Unfortunately I am but a beginner myself and also had trouble grasping the concept of 'laying' but in essence you are acting as the bookmaker and offering odds to someone taking the other side of the bet.

Anybody else having trouble picking the results of this C-L matches? Seems a lot tougher than the Premiership.

Fundy and Harlosh,

Hi all, whenever i go into the playbetfair website to practice and i back and lay at lower odds it won't then let me lay them again after iv'e done my sums. Is this just the way it is or will they not let you lay twice anymore?
