I've applied for a job in one of the bigger firms trading rooms and was wondering whether anyone here who has experience of working in this kind of environment would be kind enough to share their thoughts on the kind of working conditions I'm likely to encounter and basically whether its a nice kind of job to work in.

Obviously I can't say the name of the firm on here as betfair wont like it (fair enough I suppose) but if anyone out there can give any insight then it would be much appreciated :)

They're sweat shops, sonny. You'd be better of making tee-shirts or trainers.

If you can

A) Look on betfair and check if the price is under.
B) Repeat the phrase 'offer him a score at SP'.

Then your a cert for the job. If it interests you then go for it but its not a exciting job.

not a difficult job and of course you get your card marked everyday with their customers marks! plenty of knockbacks but also some important decisions.

Thanks Giltzean :) I'd like to ask you a question (nothing sinister!) but I don't think I can here without breaking betfairs t+c's. Would you be kind enough to email me at soul-rebel@live.co.uk? It wont take up much of your time at all and may well prove to be valuable to you :)

Thanks
