Betfair Cricket and the growth of inplay betting

It seems difficult to imagine a time when it wasn’t ‘all about the inplay‘ – but before Ray and Betfair there really wasn’t much concept of betting on an event after the official start time.

Trading the Newmarket Guineas

This weekend sees the first real big trading market of the flat turf season, the Newmarket Guineas. The interest in the first ‘Classic’ of the season is high and it should be a big betting market and that usually translates into a good trading market.

It’s an important weekend on the sporting calendar this weekend, it’s Easter! This can only mean one thing.

A world cup that is suited to the desert – Dubai

Dubai World Cup Saturday sees one of the world’s richest horse races take place at Meydan, the Dubai world cup. Over the years I’ve moved from dabbling in the Meydan markets to doing them seriously. They often make for a useful addition on a dull Thursday in the UK. I’ll often recommend a dabble in these…
