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.

605k matched on the first race at Cheltenham already, going to be a bumper day!

All green on the first race at Cheltenham, three hours before it starts, lol!

Noland wins the first having been laid at 1000 for 20 - someones Cheltenham ruined early

An excellent days trading over here thanks to Cheltenham, given up on Southwell and just focusing with large stakes on Chelts.

Good to hear scrip

had a nice profit on the last winner following a 2nd and a 4th (punting more than trading)

Just broke my record for most profit in one race today, thanks to Cheltenham. You should definately try trading this than punting it Steve. All the prices move in slow motion, for an astute trader its just fantastic.

Scrip

apart from Cheltenham will always trade over punting, but not for the festival. That said, did scalp a few ticks here and there today - it was rude not to. Ended the day in front so quite happy.

Well done on your record profit from one race - the champion hurdle? i assume youll be trying to break it again later in the week

"the champion hurdle"

If I knew which race that was I may be able to answer your question. LOL! There was a race today which was seeing a match rate of around 4-5k per second I guess that was it.

I'll be lining up bigs bucks for the remainder of the week in the hope of pushing the bar up a bit. Not sure how to trade the gold cup just yet, but will hopefully decide before Friday.

Scrip,

the 2.35 was the Arkle, the 3.15 the champion hurdle - they were the two heaviest betting events not that itll worry you.

Now the Gold Cup - thats much easier. Lay Beef or Salmon, then when youve done that, lay it again !!!

"Lay Beef or Salmon"

That seems to be a popular view.

totally agree with you fundy and lay it for a place

Spot on Evo, forgot to add place lay as well

someone needs to tell people who are backing it that the race is at Cheltenham not Punchestown lol

any thoughts on the footie tonite

Inter should be good enough to beat Ajax but look very short at 1.48, especially when 0-0 sees them qualify

Villa look a big price at City, neither side playing well of late though Villa were better at the weekend and 4.7 looks a big price for a one off game

Fundy,
After reading above ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maybe scrip thinks beef or salmon is a sandwich (lol)
only kidding Peter.

You mean it isn't?

LOL!, BoS is one of few horses I have followed, it seems to stir a huge amount of debate among the racing fraternity.

Just busted my record again on the 15:15! This is easily going be the best week ever on the horses!

Scrip

its a lot easier just to back the first winner at 13.5 :-)

that said, if my namesake wins the queen ma i may just break your record :-)

I just wish there was an event like Cheltenham on every week, I'd be totally laughing. Is there a rank somewhere of the biggest races of the year?
