    Can someone please explain “The Exchange” to me, like I’m 5?

    I wanna bet solely on horses and I wanna be able to stake whatever I want without getting limited. Honestly not that bothered about the odds being the best available.

    Already have a Betfair account so presume I’m on my way.

    So I’m backing Royal Marine tomorrow, 16:50 at Newbury, right? 2 point win at 15/2. Bam, £50 returns £425. Easy.

    I look on the exchange and see it listed as 9.4 with £32 underneath it. If I input my stake as £50 it says £420 profit. Is that it? I can place all my bets on THE EXCHANGE and not bother about being limited?

    What’s the £32 about?

    Every bet you want to place has to be matched by someone on the other side. You can back a horse (the blue button) or lay a horse (the pink button). Laying it means you're on the other side of the bet, so you're in profit if the horse does not win.

    The £32 is how much someone is currently laying at 9.4. If you put £50 through, the remaining £18 will sit there unmatched until someone decides to lay you (or a bot might snap it up immediately).

    You won't get limited. The prices on betfair are usually sharper though so it's regarded as harder to win. Not being bothered about the odds you're taking is a quick way of reducing your balance to zero.

    Cheers for that. Can’t you switch it to fractions for easier comparison?

    Nah it's decimal only. I am eternally baffled by people who prefer fractional odds.

    Make sure you change your commission plan to basic if it's not already (and you're not still using betfair sportsbook)

    Changed to basic comes into effect 1st Nov.

    Was set to Rewards+ prior. Why do you recommend basic? Does 2% commission really outweigh BOG?

    BOG only applies to bets placed on Betfair Sportsbook, which is a different product. Sportsbook a traditional bookie (found here) that you can get limited on. It's a mirror of Paddy Power iirc. Use it if you've not already, and the BOG commission plan is probably better in that case.

    Think of the exchange as a big hall where punters gather to agree bets with each other and the guy who owns the hall takes 5% of winnings.

    Bermuda Championship

    This is a full PGA Tour event in name and purse and season points, but oh my lol, what a setup we have here. You wouldn't normally see the big names at this event after the no-cut tournaments we just had, but this year there is the added flavour of the island of Bermuda only allowing in vaccinated people. As such, it has instantly become very easy to spot, among the rank and file of American tour golfers, who has been vaccinated and who has not. Those who have not are missing out because the vast list of absentees mean that this is probably the weakest main tour field I have ever seen and the chance to win, make the Masters, and wrap up a two-year Tour card is as good as it ever is. The 132 places have to be filled but it's got to the point where they are basically pulling in anyone who owns a set of golf clubs to make up the numbers. Some of the names being dragged from the vaults have not been seen in the wild for donkey's years. Carlos Franco is now 56 years old, sports a big bandito moustache, and hasn't been good at golf since he was about 40. Heath Slocum I haven't seen mentioned for a good decade. John Merrick, the elephant man, makes an appearance, as does some guy called Brian Morris who has terminal cancer and has been dragged out of palliative care to fill the field (this is only a slight exaggeration).

    Ramey 40/1
    Rai 50/1
    Smalley 50/1
    Stuard 80/1
    Novak 125/1
    Kohles 150/1

    The over 5.5 ghosts will now be banished with an uneducated punt on the same line in the Atalanta game at 7/1. Both sides seem to bang.

    Betting on Man Utd vs Spurs is insanity. It could finish 10 - 0 to either team and any score in between.

    Edit: Smiff posted that pre-Spurs vs Burnley. Stand down.

    Lens are definitely worth a tickle at 5/1. Elsewhere I fancy Leipzig to smash Frankfurt to bits.

    Also, sorry for 3 posts in a row about 3 different sports, but Pakistan 1.07 to beat Namibia later is as close to free money as there is. Should be like 1.02.

    Reminds me of when I got on Putin to win the Russian election at 1.1.

    Hojgaard has a chance to get back into this if Pavon and Pieters keep this wobble going.

    Edit: Well it's more of an earthquake for Pavon and Pieters is only a little tremor.

    I don't think he's quite going to win but it'll be top three and he's such a gorgeous player, as long as the market has him inexplicably longer than his brother I will be milking it.

    I followed him a few holes around Wentworth and my lord he's good at age 20.

    Doing a horse racing tote fantasy stable thing. Any of you jockeys got any suggested horses please?

    Horses score points based upon the quality of races they win

    You also get extra points for the price, so if you have a horse that wins at even money on the tote you’d only get 2pt but if you found a horse to win that was 30.0 on the tote you’d get 30pt

    So it’s finding that balance between horses certain to win races and horses that’ll win the big races at a nice price too

    I'm sticking to Sunday punts on it this week (the research time is grinding me down of late) but it's nice to see Taylor Moore up there whom the computer rates. Talor Gooch banging the door down as well.

    Dubai looks like it will be a great finish, I'm considering opposing McIlroy.
