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.

Harlosh,
Looks like we've got a fight on! I'll take on the big ugly one. You can have the weed with the thick glasses and acne. Scrip will set the odds!

I was describing myself as the big ugly one lol - and you have seen me with glasses when i drove you home from scrips course!!!!
As for more sensible predicitions for tonight - i fear that the two sides will contrive to fight out a draw and make chelseas job even easier.

Fundy,
A draw will be the nightmare scenario for both teams. I'm predicting that both will go all out on the attack leaving possible holes in defence for the other side to pounce.
Not decided how to approach this game yet but laying the draw and greening up as soon as someone scores seems the sensible option. However, I not so sure whether the odds will change drastically to benefit from this?
Any views, guys??

Its gonna be u tough one, both teams will be desperate to win and I am sure the managers wont take loosing as an option. The problem is that its such a high profile game. I put my money on Norwich to loose at middlesbrough but look what happened!!
Mmmmmmmm, what to do?????

we wont need to go on the attack for holes to appear in the defense - Cygan is playing!!!!!
as for laying the draw and then greening up, this will only work if the goal takes a while to come imo
personally will turn the computer off before the match, and open a few cold beers

I am in the city mainly this week so I will have a quiet week on the Betfair front. Neutral persons opinion on the match.
Logical - Arsenal to sneak it
Emotional - Man U on fire at the moment will probably hold Arsenal, May win.
Funny - A close battle with Arsenal and ManU kicking the s**t out of each other in equal proportion.
Tactical - Nothing till half time

i think a cross between funny and tactical are the most likely with hopefully logical telling in the end.
Have switched betfair off - too emotional to get involved - oh and ive got 2 man yoo fans round
edit - looks like it may have gone off in the tunnel before the game!!!!!! funny definitely looking favourite

Cracking match.
1-1 in goals and 2-0 to Man U on bookings. Arsenal have the edge at the moment I feel.

I think the loser in this game will be the ref. It seems every decision is getting challenged by both teams.

Very entertaining game, Glad I am a neutral. Rooney should have been booked several times already. I think he is going to get sent off eventually.
