I've joined a couple months ago and it's put my interest back in sports etc. betting. it's kind of fun to have the slightly higher opportunity for spotting stupid odds being offered and taken.

anyone else been using it or any similar?

I've looked into the finacial betting side of things, but never taken the plunge, probably a good thing as my ability to predict the £/$ exchange rate appears to have gone.

yeah i thought about doing like a FTSE spread (sounds dirty) but then realised that i knew nowhere near enough about it.

another thing that's good is that sometimes you can find a differential in odds for equvalent bets in different markets with which you can hedge your bets for a certain win!

It's called arbitrage and you'll be one of many looking for said opportunity. But if you find it, a winner is you!

Have you successfully done it yet? Nice!

yeah a couple of times! there are often opportunities in football (discrepancies between say next goal(no goals) and correct score(current score))

also: i bumped into markelby on betfair poker purely by chance once.
