Betfair Trading – The Cheltenham Festival

Peter Webb 9th March 2019

It’s the Cheltenham Festival, the pinnacle of horse racing season for jump racing. This means that next week we will be treated to some quality racing and expected matched betting turnover of somewhere between £100-£120m pre off and £150m or so in total across all betting markets. I’m not expecting much change in those figures…

Preparing to trade a major meeting – Cheltenham

Peter Webb 2nd March 2019

Big race meetings Big meetings generally mean significant opportunities for me, so I take a lot of care to carefully prepare for each one. Trading Cheltenham is a big opportunity as it’s one of the biggest meetings on the Betfair exchange, in fact, all betting exchanges will be flush with liquidity. These are strong betting…

Light at the End of the Tunnel for Racing

Dallas 3rd February 2019

Seasonality in racing February is historically the poorest and hardest trading month of the year on the pre-race horse racing markets. We are deep into the heart of national hunt racing and typically there will only be around £450m traded this month which is around 40% less than the amounts expected as we hit peak…

When Betfair gifted punters millions at Christmas

Peter Webb 24th December 2018

During Christmas, we were treated to an EPIC day of spectacular proportions and this post relives that moment for those that were not around to bear witness to it. While betting exchanges and the Betfair exchange, in particular, have brought many opportunities. As complex systems, they sometimes throw a bit of a curveball. Complex systems…

The Ladbrokes Trophy- One of my favourite races

Peter Webb 30th November 2018

I have fond memories of the Hennessy Gold Cup (Now the Ladbrokes Trophy). I’ve traditionally done well at this race and it’s the race I traded live at the IX Investor show for Betfair in 2006. I’ve posted this summary, or something similar, before. But it’s definitely one of the highlights of my trading career so far…

Trading the Breeders & Melbourne Cup

Peter Webb 3rd November 2018

As we move into November, that can only mean one thing. Dark evenings, wind rain, small fields and a lack of quality horse racing for Betfair trading. But, like trading itself, it really depends where you are looking for the opportunity. Opportunity aplenty If you are new to Betfair trading and not trading full time,…

Seasonality when trading Horse Racing

Peter Webb 15th October 2018

We are currently in a slightly dull part of the season. The amount I earn rises and falls over the course of the year and more or less follows the sports cycle. This is one of the ways I know if I am performing at a good level. As the opportunity rises, so should my…

Traders of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

Peter Webb 5th October 2018

Once a year, I will taste some Betfair trading on French horse racing like a connoisseur tastes French wine, with a sense of appreciation but with the gusto of a true enthusiast. French horse racing On Friday, I traded the ‘evening’ racing at Moonee Valley in Australia and will return in the early hours of…

Doncaster St Leger meeting

Peter Webb 12th September 2018

The oldest classic horse race in the world is almost upon us again. Established in 1776, just after American independence, it’s an autumn highlight on the racing card. While it marks the closing of the flat turf season, tradition dictates that it also marks an upturn in financial markets if folklore is to be believed….
