Has anyone worked as a Sports Trader for the bookies?

Can you say "Computer says no"? Pretty much all you need.

keep suspending the markets to annoy suckers like me.. seriously though I would like a job like that. Best of luck. Leave us know how you get on.

shorten price every time a  12p bet is placed.

sports trader..............    BARHAHA                those words are obsolete, what u will become is a sports client profiler to weed out winners

1) Check Betfair price. In no circumstances be nearer than 10% of that price no matter that's it available for buttons.

2) If Betfair crashes, panic.

2) There is no  3)or 4) .....

Where did you apply for it- what city? What did they ask for? Are going to be inplay trader?2000pm?

Should think you need experience.

Well, i had the interview today. Not good! we had a group discussion about the industry itself and where it is going. After this we had a general interview. The was followed by a series of tennis and us sports questions (despite not stated this). After this we had to calculate percentages from odds, then price up 6 events(3 tennis, 3 US) don't think i will be getting a call back!

In the interview, were you allowed to use your mobile to check the betfair prices?

They will be penalising anyone who didn't... and god help you if your prices gave away an arb.

I wouldn't worry. Next to nobody employed as a sports trader does anything like this. Performing poorly may be an advantage over others who are clued up.
