It looks like Betfiar’s financial markets operation, LMAX, is up and running. I am on their mailing list but haven’t received anything yet. However, if you visit the following site you can read about LMAX and sign up for an account and browse the site.<\/p>\n

The first thing I tried to find was charges. It appears Betfair are going to adopt a normal financial market model of charging for a buy and sell, there are some example trades here: –<\/p>\n

I had dreamed that they may not adopt the traditional charging model, but I guess that was a bit optimistic. However an open market platform with small costs probably does open up some opportunities. It’s a very competitive marketplace so it will be interesting to see how this all pans out. They are going to have to work very hard to get customers. Who knows, I may even get an account manager!<\/p>\n
