Mastering Betfair: How to make serious money trading betting exchanges

The advice is true of all trading, betting, just about anything in life: keep your options open, plan before you purchase, etc.Something that differentiates this book is actual advice on a few markets, if fleeting.All in all, a decent introduction to Betfair and trading sports markets.

The content of the is really good, but the book inside is a real Mess and Disorganized, especially the paragragh must be separated with some spaces. How can the author Sell a product so Bad Edited...!!!??? There a lots of parts about the Tables that has no Lines almost the entire book... it's so very difficult to read. The part that is a absolute mess the table chart "Result of Analysis on Tennis Strategies". I feel very disappointed about the arrange of the book. :-(

Good start but far from exhaustive. Would have liked some coverage of horse racing as well. Delineating different markets and why you expect to make a profit on these, would also have helped.

A very good and inspirering book. Solid work that explain the trading proces in a true way. No promises of quick money but with hord work you will have succes.

Very insightfull and with great advices to be succesfull in betfair, I recommend it's reading, specially in how to implement a system that work for you,

Excellent book. Each time I read and re-read, I pick up a new viewpoint.Not enough on Financial markets and strategies.

A very good book. And easy to understand it!!

just anofher review for you to read when making up your mind about buying. I didn't know that this needs to be at least 20 words.

Betfair ist nicht wie ein traditioneller Buchmacher sondern wie eine Futures Börse organisiert. Man kann ein Ergebnis long (back) und short (lay) gehen. Wie an der Futures-Börse handelt man daher weniger auf das endgültige Ergebnis sondern auf die Bewegung der Preise vorher.Der erste Teil des Buches beschreibt dieses Prinzip für meinen Geschmack ein bisserl zu umständlich. Vor allem wie man die Position schliesst bzw. in Backfair Termen sie "greent". Wahrscheinlich ist diese ausführliche Darstellung für Leser, die vom traditonellen Buchmacherwetten her kommen, aber durchaus nützlich.Danach gibt es sehr viele Tipps der Sorte "Wette niemals mit geliehenen Geld". Die sind alle nicht falsch, aber sie sind in der Regel No-Na und helfen wahrscheinlich nicht viel weiter. Es hält sich der Autor auch selber nicht daran.Er erwähnt mehrmals, dass er ca. 5000 Pfund Cash hat. Laut seinen Regeln soll man per Wette max. 1-2% davon aufs Spiel setzen. Er präsentiert dann aber einige Wetten bei denen es um 500 Pfund geht. Auch wenn er mit Stop-Loss arbeitet, ist er von seinen 1-2% Risiko weit entfernt. Man weiss nie ob man den Stop-Loss tatsächlich exekutieren kann.Im letzten Teil des Buches präsentiert Nordsted Wettsysteme für Fussball, Cricket und Tennis. Die Ideen sind nicht uninteressant. Es dürfte aber im echten Betfair Leben nicht so einfach sein. Die von Nordsted beschriebenen Effekte sollten schon weitgehend eingepreist sein.Das Buch ist nicht grossartig. Es ist aber auch nicht kompletter Unsinn. Im Grossen und Ganzen entsprach es meinen - nicht sehr hohen - Erwartungen.

This book is very handy and has made me a large sum of profit in the past few years.I recommend this book to sport fanatics and everybody who is looking in to making big bucks.To this day I am still using this book to help me make a bit of cash but it comes with it's risks.Sadly, you can loose money, big money. You tend to loose and that's why when placing a bet, I only place small bets to eliminate the risk of loosing a large sum of money and this tends to help me even more.Sometimes I'd throw the odd £10 out but I don't always win.Excluding the risks, I think this book is very well written and comes in handy.

I completed this book inside a week. I have never logged onto Betfair before so the first part of the book helped in that sense. The author helps you with your betting calculation and a explains a few strategies to make money on golf, tennis, and cricket. The best part is about 'greening up' and locking in a profit. There is nothing in the book that helps you with horse racing.The remaining information on trading is basic common sense and the book is packed out with unnecessary graphs. The books useful tips could have been written on two side of A4.

The author makes it clear that this is not a book for a novice to cold trading on Betfair. It does however contain a lot of rudimentary principles to which every trader from novice to expert should adhere. There are some clever strategies within the pages of this publication, which I had not come across previously, which make the purchase of the book good value for money and I recommend it to aspiring traders.

If I was to position this book I would say it is a good beginners book. Yet again it is another author with something else to sell besides the book, not that there is anything wrong with that in one sense. The content is pretty good but is a bit light in some areas however reading it is pretty easy, maybe because the print is large and you soon finish any chapter. There is some pretty solid advice in the book but I would say rule number 3 should be the number 1 rule.
