One used to allow buying-to-open or -close and selling-to-close but selling-to-open (writing) had to be done over the phone, which I hated.

Or cos of timezones and sleep/work?). What does leave you free to do other than an outright final-outcome bet?https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30956795/zimmers-v-windies-2nd-test?post_id=553047673#553047673So I don't quite get it - in Aus you're not allowed to bet in-play AND you can't trade overnight between days (meaning it's not allowed?
