what harm does it do anyone else if people bet in small amounts??
|
|
By:
Small punters add liquidity and critical mass. Lots of the people who bet 1000's today started off with 2-5. I am not a big player by any stretch but even I started with a 25 for the 1st few months before ramping up
No need to be such an arrogant fool if you can afford to bet big amount |

By:
I bet in £2 to £10. Also, i have found out where you live, because i have a way of doing so. You can't hide behind your screen any more mad dog. I am coming to beat the sh!t out of you, very soon.

when you put a normal bet on at a price then some £4 mug punter puts his bet up at a tick shorter than yours and u need to wait- seething.
these punters like kingmax should have to wait patiently to place their bets while the normal people with normal banks can crack on |
|
By:
why do you need to wait?
if someone is going to back your "chunky"  bet, a £4 bet a tick higher in the queue makes not a jot of difference. |

Fixtures 14 May / Netherlands v Middlesex / Match Odds
Middlesex Back 19918271235 14-May-12 10:57 1.55 130.00 1.55 14-May-12 11:05 for instance before that bet was taken some bright spark had £4 at 1.54 so his bet would be taken first, happens all the time in the runs market in the ipl, so frustrating, if your betting in £2-£10 stakes then i advise you to quit gambling and evaluate your life and look where you went wrong |

iv found the top bat market this tourney very hard and difficult to get into this ipl. Whenever i put up some bets trying to take a stance, i get £2 put in front of me, three times.
 pushing me off the screen. seems to happen every game, like some bot is doing it? I tryed to do it back and force them to up their price but then i got picked off once or twice. so stopped that.Had a few bets matched today, but that was cuz the money was there and i took anyother mumbai indian on. Very hard to edge slightly at the mo and have taken some nasty reds. As i dont seem to be laying more than a one or two runners per innings. Whilst quite annoying / frustrating, i must say well done as this person / bot seems to have replaced the invisible 1.99 guy. |

Dont think the real high rollers have time to post on here . The IPL main win market is huge , but the subsidiary markets are pretty small . Occasionally I look at the top batsman market in running , what I see are a few £2 bets up at 10 to 20 trying to back the outsiders .
Its easy to put up hundreds at odds on , nobody needs a big bank for that . I wonder though at the 20k and 30k which surface after nearly every ball during the match , are all those input from people at the ground ? Anything else would seem pretty foolhardy given how a six or a wicket affects the market . |
|
By:
Agree, some serious money matched on these matches circa 15 million albeit the majority traded. As you say Kelly, 20 k lumps appear on either side during the game, don't think its inside knowledge as there is usually an opposing large number....but probably at the game, the delay is around 3-4 secs from ITV pics to odds moving.

Having diligently worked my bank from an opening £10 to over a thousand I would welcome the small time betfair users.
I regularly withdraw money and despite my biggest bet being around 400. I slowly but surely make money doing what I like. Watching sport. My trouble is when the stakes get big I act differently. Lay off profit to early and lose about the same ratio as small stakes. So I guess im struggling to take it to the next level. But anyhoo what a **** opening post. |

By:
Captain America , lots of people started on here with smallish banks and worked their way up . Your point about judgement / action being partly regulated by the fear factor is completely true . Thats one of the reasons the bookies hate arbers , arbers have eliminated the fear factor in their case .
How many times have we stood in the bookies and listened to the tales of woe from punters whose nerve failed them when they might have scored big ? There are not that many mugs out there betting on the exchanges , most of the time everybody gets value in relation to risk etc . Thats the beauty of the exchange system . Trick is to be just one step ahead or slightly better than the average , but its easier said than done . Time and profitability are the only arbiters of the equation . Cheers . |

My first bet on cricket on betfair was a £2 draw lay.
That's over 8 years ago now, and in my own opinion I do pretty well. I'd agree that in my experience there does become a point where the amounts you are betting cannot keep increasing, but part of the skill is managing what you do in relation to the rest of your life. Do I want a £500 exposure on an overnight test match - no I don't if I want a good nights sleep. The amounts I bet do therefore vary accordingly to my ability to trade. The OP is fishing / angry / both - it's a free market for the £2 traders as much as it is for the big hitters. |

I sometimes bet below the £2 min stake..what does that make me

Think you will be locked in the Betfair dungeon for that onemanarmy. Sharing a cell with MadDogs.

clearly if there was that much interest in laying Middlesex at the time they'd have taken some of your money as well as the measely £4 lay.
that is of course unless they put their £100 or whatever all down on 1.54 in which case you'd probably have to bite the bullet and give up £1.30 of potential profit to get matched. just what happens on such a low liquidity market. |

They way Maddogs was posting I thought he was a 2000-5000 pounders. LOL you are not even a drop in the ocean for some big players.
Maybe you should increase your stakes and bet for some real money before telling otehrs to get lost |
|
By:
hahaha this thread is so lol
|

By:
I'm ok with small stake punters , i sometimes have an under 10 quid bet ...however , I agree it can be annoying if ur trying to get matched in a low liquidity market and someone sticks 2 quid up in front of you by one tick
 |

By:
maddogs is a p...k,if there wasnt small stakes punters about there wouldnt be any bookies or online exchanges,there is far more small punters than big ones
|

By:
Occur to anyone that the £2 punter might be just someone trying to push the larger offer just in behind out to bigger odds before availing of it ? Sprick to catch a ( relatively larger) whale ? Not unknown tactics .
