This thread is the gift that keeps on giving!!

Speaking as a Newbie, can I just take this opportunity to thank Derek, Shaun, Dallas et al for your generosity of spirit and helpfulness for the excellent advice and insights both on this thread and indeed throughout the forum.

On this particular thread it is not entirely clear that the intended recipient is maximising the potential of your many thoughtful and useful posts, but I am sure there are many others (including me) who are benefitting. Thank you one and all!

Fully echo this.

I was travelling for Easter yesterday, viewed it on my smartphone and wondered what the hell it was. It was only when I turned my smartphone sideways that I could actually see it.

Very nostalgic. Reminds me of the days when I was a "continuous stationary and computer disk" salesbod when I left school. 8" disks and multi part paper with carbon paper between the copies! Printed quite a few door sized ascii art pics on customers' printers. The old chain printers at British Sugar would catch the output in a box 6 feet away cos it streamed out so fast! Mindblowing for an 18yo kid when every printer I'd seen did about 10 characters a second.

At some point Steaphens was priced 20

I would have been backing her at 13,50... 1000$...

13.5 is the equivalent of laying Azarenka at 1.08.

I've just noticed Azarenka was laid at 1.05 for $7k (presumably when Stephens peaked), and 1.08 for $1k.

Laying Azarenka for $1000 at 1.05 is the equivalent of a $50 bet on Stephens at 21. So you did have the potential opportunity to make $1000 on betfair.it if you are confident you would have place that bet.

I don't know if cross-matching occurs on betfair.it but it's possible the money matched at 21 was cross-matched - all the action in tennis is focused on the favourite.

Dereck I don't understand what is cross matching, could you please explaine it to me?
I have never heard it about

I hope you are starting to realise that you don't even know enough yet to understand how much you still need to learn.

Like all subjects, the more you know, the more you realise you don't know.

I am going to live in Germany (not because of Betfair).

Will be able to bet on Betfair.com from there?

If your going to Germany you can't place bets on the exchange anyway, Betfair only operate their sportsbook there

Do you know if Sports Book bets in such countries get chucked onto the UK exchange?

The reason I ask is that there's been some crazy back bets placed at Rosehill, a good 5-6 ticks below best price, which might be explained by Sports Book punters who don't have access to the exchange?

[Derek27]

The 'hot chick' methodology has won the argument for me.

In that case; Angelique Kerber is quoted at 12/1 with Bet365....

Looks like it does work after all.
