Next Goal Market

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:43:24 +0000

When trading any market, whether financial or sporting, remember - 'the trend is your friend'. Trying to find the top or bottom of a financial market will often produce higher returns, but more times than most it is difficult to predict and therefore many traders find themselves being forced to close their trades before they become profitable, or at least at their maximum potential profit. It's much easier to 'go with the flow', and follow the trend, rather than battle against it.

Australian Rules Football

To die-hard fans, it's the greatest game on the planet. To foreigners, it's that weird game with no sleeves. To the in-play betting fan, it's probably the ideal sport for it. Welcome to Australian Rules footy!

Rugby league is a collision sport that fans consider to be the toughest, most physically demanding sport in the world. The sport is a mix of brutal physicality mixed with lithe skill where strength, speed, skill and smarts are displayed in each and every game.

The Game

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:02:00 +0000

Rugby league is a game played over eighty minutes, divided into two halves. The clock always counts up with the referees able to stop the clock by calling time out. On television, matches tend to last about two hours.

Tactics

Rugby league tactics tend to change with the rules and the game played today is almost unrecognisable from the sport played twenty years ago and even ten years ago. The perfect example of the changing nature of rugby league is seen in scrums, which were once an integral component of the game where teams fought for possession of the ball. Today, scrums are only used to remove the forwards from play, with teams rarely winning the ball against the feed.

Trading In-Play

Like any other sport, the action becomes fast and furious when the market is in-play. But there are key differences between the NRL and SuperLeague. Due to the Australian Federal Govt ban on betting in-play online, locals are only allowed to bet over the phone during a match. Thus the NRL markets aren't as busy during a match. This means opportunity for any Brits willing to market-make in the wee hours! SuperLeague has no such restrictions and is a better option for punters who just like to back their team.

Tennis punters aren't treated to many chances in long-term antepost markets. Racing fans get their big races up to 12 months in advance and a swarm of other races in a shorter time-frame, while football and golf punters can have weeks or months to get involved in their big events.

Cricket - a guide to trading on Betfair

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:30:38 +0000

The spread of cricket through the former colonial world means the sport is played throughout the year. This leads to widespread TV coverage and international appeal for betting on the sport.

The very nature of cricket - long periods of play, games turning in a matter of balls or even nail-biting finishes - makes the sport ideal for trading. Just the like the prices of shares rise and fall, so can the chances of each result in a cricket match. Ride the fortunes of the team in control, switch allegiance to take a profit before the game changes course.
