    It means that the total exposure is a fraction of the matched amount.

    If I back and lay the same player at odds of 2.00 for GBP 10,000.
    My exposure is zero and BetFair would show this as GBP 40,000 matched.

    In all likelihood another trader is on the other side of most of those transactions.

    Across all Betfair markets the amount actually risked is around 20% of the amount matched but that figure is lower of in-play/live markets.

    Ok................well it equates to unreal low juice and liquidity on all sports which is what we need

    Agreed. During the Men's Aussie Open final, GBP 46m was traded in-play and the market traded at 100.5% or less overround (-101 equivalent) the whole time. As a player/bettor you can't really ask for better than that.

    I only have one investor/hedge fund partner JJ, that's my dad and he is in for a bit more than 50k. When he came on board, the stress of gambling/trading money that wasn't my own wasn't pleasant. Not a lot of upside to your 'proposal' for me.

    The 60 million traded on the Aussie Open Men's final match winner market is pretty impressive.

    The Aussie side of Betfair have yet to turn a profit yet though.

When you read the trades, this book seems to always be talked of highly. I would give anything to play at some of these Asian books.

    The rest of the sports are juiced up lines like a UK Book

    Most domestic banks are part of the FPS which means that bank to bank transfers should take 2 hours max.

    SBO is primarily a soccer book.

    Whereas you can get top odds on other sports at times the limits are very much lower than for soccer.

    Typically for tennis they limit to $741, sometimes only half that

    Thanks Hareeba. I definitely am impressed with their lines for soccer. Licensed out of the Isle of man is probably for the good as well, I have seen them on west ham shirts before and been reading about them, I have yet to see much negative press on them.

    Seems like alot of money behind this book, surprised to not see them rated on here with betfair and william hill and alot of these other books.

    Better prices for almost all football (soccer as you call it) games on betfair when compared to SBO or any other asain. 9/10 of all my football bets go through bf.

    I do not think though On a lot of leagues you can get down 5k on Asian handicaps at Betfair as volume lacks compared to SBOBET where you can get down that every time in many of top league Asian handicaps.

    Betfair is mainly a match Odds operation
