BetFair trading video –- at YouTube
The website of that guy from the video is awful, though.
Caveat Bettor, if you spot some InTrade-TradeSports videos at YouTube, be kind enough to tip me. Thanks. Same for the other readers as for HSX, Inkling Markets, Betdaq, SpreadFair, MatchBook, XxxxxXxxx, etc.

Postings in relation to ‘race-fixing’ trial
Betfair Customer Services 09 Oct 10:39Whilst the criminal trial involving 3 jockeys and others is sub judice (i.e. being considered in court), comment on the case is inappropriate and could even be an offence in itself leading to contempt of court proceeding against those commenting. This is particularly true given the criminal charges being considered where publicly discussing such cases sub judice may constitute interference with due process (not least because jurors may be exposed to such public discussion).
As a consequence whilst this matter remains sub judice, forum postings discussing the matter will be removed as and when they come to Betfair’s attention. This also means we will have to revoke forum posting rights of customers who persist in commenting on the case on Betfair’s forums.
BetFair traders, come on Midas Oracle to post your comments on the Fallon case. Here, we do not censor anyone.
UPDATE: They talk about the Fallon case in the Chamber of Lords. (See next page.)
The Racing Post and TimeForm compete in the same space- they make money from horse racing data. The Racing Post through its newspaper- TimeForm through its database publications. On the Web, they compete head to head in many respects —-and both give away a certain proportion of their content for free.
The Racing Post model is heavily skewed towards the old betting market model- fixed odds bookmakers- price comparison etc- while BetFair (the new owner of TimeForm) is based on the Web. On top of that, BetFair does not need The Racing Post that much, whereas The Racing Post needs BetFair. The fact that BetFair’-s prices are dynamic (and, 99% of the time, the best prices on offer) fucks up The Racing Post’-s model.
