How do ewe plaice a double on an exchange please?

You can't take the 1/4 on here and place it on to the next one

You must visit shop for 1/5

You can't take the 1/4 on here and place it on to the next one

why karnt ewe?

cos I'm thick.

Anyway, it's good exercise walking to a shop and you can meet people who share your interest and thinking.

I'm sure it was once possible to place multiples on the exchange but it was stopped -anyone know why?

To encourage use of Sportsbook, I guess, Manoleeds.

You've been here a while Manoleeds and if you think this was possible it must have been before I joined.

It was there when you joined stewy.

You must be right sparrow but been gone a good few years imo.

Dear all,

We regret to announce that as of Thursday 29th August 2019, the Exchange Racing multiples product (mutiples.betfair.com) is being permanently decommissioned due to technical limitations.

We apologise for the short notice but hope, where possible, you will continue to place your racing multiples with Betfair via the Sportsbook. Please also keep in mind that BSP betting is still available on the Exchange.

Regards,

Betfair Customer Service

sparrow, it certainly wasn't available when stewy joined in 2002, can't remember the exact start date

If i remember correctly when you clicked on the 2nd selection it defaulted to the sportsbook price or thereabouts , so effectively you weren't playing 100% books but the usual excessive compounded over round for your acca.

If possible timewise to play the re-investment way you'd still benefit over 95% of the time despite the ditto 2% commission.

Hayden, it was exchange price at BSP - 5%, nothing to do with the sportsbook.

Who will I be betting against?

Betfair will be taking the other side of Horse Racing Multiples bets. This is the same as with our current sports Multiples product.

Will Betfair be hedging?

Yes, as we do already with our current sports Multiples product.

We intend to hedge a proportion of the risk associated with Horse Racing Multiples bets. This will be done via an automated process that will consider the total risk on a particular horse and place hedge bets at the BSP. These bets will be placed as we become aware of our liabilities and our aim is to put them into the market as early as possible to make Exchange and SP layers aware of their existence.

The identity of which customers are backing or laying which horses (whether through the Multiples product or on the Exchange) will not be a factor in the automated hedging process.

The hedging by Betfair of its Multiples liabilities will provide new liquidity to the horse racing Exchange markets, which should be of benefit to those customers already active in the Exchange markets.

They took a few hits apparently by some sophisticated algorithms and that was that.

You're probably right about when he started swifty, but certainly available while he was here. I never did multiples so would have no idea of the starting date.

OK fair enough swifty , just remember you didn't get the exchange price for your multiple.

Rings a bell now thanks   

I cried when it went.

i fancy a dubble the morra...

exchange 1.25 & 1.9 £500 @1.25 returns £625 -£12.50 = £612.50 net..£612.50 @1.9 returns £1163.75 -£23.27 = £1140.48 -£500 steaked = £640.48 net


ladcrooks 1/5 & 4/5...£500 dubble returns £1080 gross = £580 net

yet stewyb gans into town by mobility scooter to ladcrooks? seems sensible innit.

Hayden - you didn't get the full Exch price for your multi (as swifty says, BSP - 5%) but this was in the days of standard 5% commission (reduced by BF points) and you didn't pay commission or PC (for those that do) on Exch multis, so it was by no means a rough deal.  I miss them too.

Cheers Longbridge , remember clicking and the price reducing but forgot it was set at 5% , but now makes perfect sense since the commission was also 5% at that time   

the ruse was you lost 5% on each leg rather than at the end, but it still beat industry SPs more often than not

stewyb sez ewe cant plaice a dubble on the exchange...

stewyb is probably wun of the greatest spazmodians ive eva come across.

You cant place a double.

exchange 1.25 & 1.9 £500 @1.25 returns £625 -£12.50 = £612.50 net..£612.50 @1.9 returns £1163.75 -£23.27 = £1140.48 -£500 steaked = £640.48 net

i beg to differ swiddles.

Post a tenner exchange double steve.

**Because what you have posted is two single bets.

so ewe telling me ewe went into town to do in a shop whats easily available at home with a £60 extra?

i do not believe you went toladcrooks..im calling ewe a liar.

You can call me a p00fter as well but not to my face. Picked up 950 from Lads in Rose St earlier today.



I could have said it was 800/1100 but that would be lies.


That said, I believe you are still climbing Mount Ego...

Dont think it was worth a thread sorry!!!!

dont read or reply then yfdsc.

Think the main point to take from it Swad is that it's always a consideration and in the vast majority of scenarios it's the way to go , but being oblivious to the opportunity isn't shrewd punting.

Dingleflap can’t help his ignorance
