Why the BetFair model is partially obsolete
I like BetFair and the BetFair people very much. I was the only blogger to talk up the BetFair starting price system and the BetFair brand-new bet-matching logic. But the other face of the coin is that 2 aspects of their model are rotten to the core.

BetFair was created in 1999 and started off in [...]
He is not the “Master Of All Universes”, he is low key, he blogs only once a month, his DPMM lost it to MSR (one to many thousands, and soon, one to many hundreds of thousands), his set of search engine prediction markets at InTrade is a nuclear disaster of Biblical proportions, his Yahoo!

BetFair-TradeFair (slightly) improve their blog, finally (it was about time) —and open 2 new sections: “prediction markets” and “financials”.

My thoughts:
Their “about” page still does not list the names of their editor(s) and publisher(s). It would give them credibility.

Too early to call David Pennock’s prediction markets a nuclear disaster
This is a footnote for my previous post, “Are David Pennock’s search engine prediction markets the worst marketing disaster since the New Coke?“.
