You always struggle to get layers in more obscure long term markets. I'd probably be a layer at that price if I was going to lay the market over the season, but very little chance of getting anything else traded.

Yeah I was pricing up these markets last year but it is an enormous work:reward ratio. Have to update the prices every day and you hardly ever lay a decent sized bet, just the occasional hundred quid or so. And of course there will always be some parasite who just goes one tick in front after you've done all the hard work :-(

yeah i know the problems.i priced the nfl divisions up last year or the one before, i forget which. nobody bets anyway, they just hope youll leave them up during games so they can pick you off. total waste of effort. people dont want to bet these days, just waste everybodies time putting up stupid prices that never get matched.

I priced up these divisions for a few years bout 4/5 years ago and had the same experience as described above by others.
If BF offered a favourable commission deal I would have a go at Making Markets on this obscure stuff but it seems that BF wants nothing to do with MMers so these markets stagnate. |

Signing in as an obscure market maker who basically gave up
PC was the final straw for me, still do some bits and pieces but now it invovles pricing to 120% with two selections "the right price" and then picking off .00000001 when the bot undercuts me. Not good money but makes me happy :| |

i got 400 on at 2.0. i put 200 on something else. that lost. typical. seattle to beat the white sox the other day, when they got a 2 run homer in the 9th, 2 outs as well i think, to win! shame i didnt get matched earlier, would have saved me 200 quid. ahhhh well.

What do you mean by fair, Rink Rat? Obviously I have to have some sort of profit margin, and going one tick in front of each price probably costs less than 1% for the other guy.

I suffer much the same as you KR, but that is the nature of the exchange. One has to sharpen his market knowledge or avoid it.
