Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bailey's background makes him the perfect person to write a book on carving out a living trading the often frenetic markets of the betting exchanges and he does not disappoint." "If you can't make back the cover price by using the ideas found here, then trading on the exchanges is probably not for you." "The best book of its type so far." (Book review in The Racing Post, 19th April 2015) IN the past fifteen years, the betting industry in the UK and Ireland has changed beyond recognition. While technology has made it easier than ever to place a bet, for most people making a profit from sports betting remains as tricky as ever. Yet there are a growing number of traders, some of which have no previous sports betting experience, making handsome profits from exchanges like Betfair and Betdaq. In Sports Trading on Betfair, sports trader Wayne Bailey explains the dynamics of odds movement, how prices move and why - and more importantly, describes in detail the systems and strategies he uses on a daily basis to profit from the betting exchanges. With a background in both financial trading and sports betting, Bailey explains how we can merge those two disciplines to understand the market and find ways to finally beat the books. Bailey focuses largely on horseracing but the principles and strategies described within this book can be applied to most sports. Topics include weight of movement, swing trading, scalping, betting in-running, financial spread-trading, Dutching, support and resistance, arbitrage, trading psychology and creating your own trading plan.

Book excerpt: Trading the Betfair and sporting markets in-play is rapidly growing in popularity thanks to the increased sporting coverage available on many different satellite and cable channels. Many people start by just using Betfair to obtain better odds than those available at the traditional bookmakers. They then perhaps do a little more research and learn to trade the markets, but to make a regular profit a serious, disciplined and planned approach needs to be employed in order to not only win but keep on winning. 'Mastering Betfair' will take the reader through many of the low-risk strategies developed by the author over the past 3 years. The book also aims to highlight to the Betfair user the importance of employing disciplines - such as managing risk - that are normally associated with the financial markets, and indeed it is hoped that the book will also highlight to the financial trader the unique opportunities that are available on Betfair.

Further development of the application permits it to save data from Betfair onto the reader's hard drive for offline analysis and visualisation in a spreadsheet for the purpose of building trading algorithms. Also covered is an enhancement of Betfair's charts so that charts can be automatically updated and compared.

In the years to come it will become even more so, no doubt about that. Successful Sports Exchange value traders will remain successful as long as they adapt to new trading environments, behaviours, other traders (or simple punters) habits and the BIG one - how sports markets are influenced by new trading techniques and technologies. And yes, that refers to certain traders using Bots / Software / Programs or Apps - or whatever else you want to call them - to automatically place their in and out trades, to almost always secure a profit. People that are "playing" at a very high level, paying thousands of Pounds / Dollars / Euros in annual subscriptions for Software / Apps and always prepared with finances, available liquidity - very high banks, to enter and exit the markets with thousands if not tens of thousands of Pounds / Dollars / Euros in very swift and strategic movements. Traders that can significantly and sufficiently "influence" a market with their own high liquidity trades, enough to very quickly gain a couple "ticks" in odds movement and get out for a guaranteed substantial profit. Known as Automated Scalping.This is old news and hopefully you will not be surprised to hear about lifelong Stock market traders re-training in operating Sports Exchanges - principles are extremely similar and odds movement happens a lot faster. How can we compete against someone like that?You can think about it in awe, but it might be too soon. Some bookmakers are also covering their markets on Exchanges or level their un-covered value taken on bets from normal punters. Same concept as Matched Betting, they accept bets from people at smaller odds and Hedge against better odds on Exchange, to always make a profit.To give you an even bigger example, whole businesses are now created around Sports Exchanges. Firms employing people to do just that, Sports Value Trading at a commercial level. Imagine a dozen people inside an office, working for an employer, but only doing this, day in - day out. And they will all be traders, trained at using specialised, extremely performant software, with extremely high liquidities available at any point to secure fast interventions and guaranteed profits. So, the next time you will see millions of Pounds / Dollars / Euros matched on just one market of a popular sporting event, you will know why. How can we compete against something like this?The reality is, everyone has a chance, no matter how big or small the amounts you have to invest. But you really, really need to know what you are doing, that specific sport and more importantly - how that specific market works. Yes, odds will shift when a large influx of liquidity is poured into the market as existing odds will be matched between Back and Lay; and you might discover odds are moving against you. We've only mentioned the above to build momentum on a very important conclusion: markets to eventually settle indifferent of the amounts in play and markets do also become saturated or over-saturated with a realisation that a given outcome was Backed to an exaggerated extent.
