Yes, yes and yes.
Betfair has to be the best gambling related invention ever. As well as winning money for me its saved some nasty bets from going wrong. Superbowl was a great example, £40 on Patriots. Giants are on the attack right near the end of the match and are getting a little close to scoring for my comfort. I lay the bet at about 20% lower than what I got and two plays later Eli Manning wriggles free and pulls out an amazing throw. That attack ends up winning them game. Without Betfair I'd have not been able to eat that week due to my poor student nature.

My mate has it perfected and has a lot more money than me to gamble with. There was one point on the Euros (wish I had a screen shot) where there was 4 teams left in it, and depending on who won he was set to win a minimum of £50 and a maximum of £150. His profits have been irritatingly big this year, if I had the bankroll and the sheer confidence at times I'd like to think I'd have the same. Hell I pick a lot of his bets for him but I just can't afford to lose the money if it goes tits up.

Overall, providing you know you're market well this tool is brilliant.
