what's the record amount matched on a single market?

yeah, I was just looking at the 56M wondering exactly that.

never personally seen that much before.

I *think* the 2010 WC final matched 89M
2nd is Roddick v Fed = 56M

I have in EUR currency :

The 2008 Wimbledon was the record until today, Matched: EUR 62,094,841, the 2010 Wimbledon was close, but the record was not beaten. The new record is : Matched: EUR 70,313,450

My mistake - I meant the World Cup winner market (not the final)

Ferencvaros - Do you have a number for 2010 WC Winner market?

unfortunately I don't have that, I don't follow soccer amounts. Was the 2010 WC winner market greater?

yeah - I have it at GBP89M... but because it was settled throughout the tournament (as teams got knocked out) I'm not 100% confident in my number.

Want to get into the wide world of tennis trading if liquidity issues are no problem, trouble is I would be starting from Year Zero with what i know so it would take time and pain and time and pain!

2010 World Cup was £89,319,350. And 48p!

good luck, cardinal. ime tennis is the most demanding sport to trade. dunno why, but I find it mentally draining in a way that other sports don't really match.

The largest market figures are in Issue 2 of Betfair Edge magazine, though the 2012 has now taken over the #1 slot.

..2012 French Open Mens Final..

and that's without it going to a fifth set.

probably at least partly a result of there being a fair amount of play after nadal traded at such short odds, mind. the same scoreline without the come back would have seen less matched, given the way BF do the calculations.

the overnight rain delay won't have hurt either.
