Is trading fun?? for most people it's a big NO.
It's god dam boring
Just been trying different ways to make it more fun just like gambling.
For example, you look at a team in football that you fancy to win, lets say they check the odds with bookies and the team is priced at 1.74 and on betfair its priced at 2.0 so your more than happy to bet £10 at betfair giving you a return of £10 profit minus commision giving you a lot more profit than the bookies are willing to pay.
On to the trading part and the the type of thing betfair should try to get out to potentual customers.
Your happy to bet on the team at 2.0 for £10 but your also willing to trade the bet if it goes down to say 1.94 odds and laying it for £5 and giving you a bet as follows:
£10 back at 2.0 = £10 profit
£5 lay at 1.94 = £4.70 loss
If your team wins you get a profit of £5.30, and at the bookies you would only get £3.70 profit which is a massive % difference to the bookies.
I know i will get shoot down by you traders, but i think it's a good way to get people in that just want to have fun, and i feel it's a good way to expand customers into trading.
