Betfair changes matching process

08/05/2009 | By More

Betfair have just announced that they are to change the way bets can be matched on their exchange. This is a move back to the early days of Betfair and an original concept that is actually in use by other exchanges. Full information is listed here: –

Difficult to judge the immediate impact but certainly a lot of markets will have the illusion of money in them. You are also more likely to get matched more often I would guess. On the downside some arb opportunities may have just vanished! I’ve asked the guys to put a link up in the forum so everybody can discuss in there.

It comes into force next Tuesday.

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
