Their spreads are pretty tight given the volatility thought it depends on the markets, time of day etc. I'm still trading on there a lot and am finding good prices. When the spreads are wide, sometimes one side is close to fair value and the other is wide which is fine if you want that side, I...

For really tight spreads on cable check out Olsen.

NQR - would you like to share some of your strategies for trading on BFT, the markets you are trading, the type of bets used, Sure. I trade the full gamut of bets offered but each in different markets and ways. I use volatility projection models to try to get the best of the prices I see on the...

I think they are the same at the money and the out of the money ones are also priced as before. I think they are a bit more expensive in the money though on some. Not sure why. The in the money ones were cheaper this morning, got more expensive around lunch time, then seemed to go down again and...

I am not an employee at BFT or anywhere else. yorkshires_finest is simply attempting to detract attention from his agenda and engage in a little mischief. As I have no interest in responding to such claims I will not engage in a back and forth on who is more loyal to which bookie or why that...

Yep, I make a living from betting.

The touch bets would be good intraday, I agree. Probably tough to hedge I guess, not sure though. Why don't you ask them?

Hi, Every time you record an implied vol, also record the delta of the option for which it is the vol. That way you have a ready point of reference which factors in the strike and expiry time in the way that matters (monyness). In your database you should juxtapose the two. When plotting a...

Hi guys, The index bets are my new staple since they put them on. Friday was a joke, when the indices jumped up I completely cleaned up. I made a lot of money, more than I have on any other day with them. I did well on BB as well but prefer the slider bar interface that betsfortraders have. I...

? huh?

I like the volatility, the leverage and the fixed risk nature of the binary and other fixed odds financials. I've traded everything going for many years and find them to be the best for several strategies. Obviously they don't replace the other instruments but they are a core part of my...

How do you show your hand before you bet? The site is real time and obviously model driven. I'd rather they hedge than didn't or I would be shut down by now. 2 other bookies no longer take my bets (now have accounts in the wife's name) but they still do. HappyArber, this is a forum for...
