Inplay - your monthly guide to all things Betfair

Welcome to another edition of InPlay, the monthly Betfair newsletter providing you with an insight into the whole Betfair experience.

The football season is hotting up with the Premiership and FA Cup at very exciting stages, but it's the return to European action we focus on this month. With five British teams remaining in the Champions League, could it finally be the year of an all-British final? Moscow on May 21 is the dream destination, and in-house football expert Andrew French takes a close look at the first knockout stage starting next week in our feature article.

Earlier this month the NFL season finished with a dramatic upset at Superbowl XLII as heavy favourites the New England Patriots failed to achieve the perfect 19-0 campaign, losing to the New York Giants. Focus in America now turns to the culmination of the NHL and NBA seasons. In this edition of In-Play we take a look into ice hockey as our Sport of the Month. Taking you through the basics of the game right up to the tactics of betting in-play, this guide will have you eager to have a punt on this lightning quick, all action sport.

Last month we looked at the science of bluffing in poker, and our next lesson in strategy is about table position. Expert poker player Ariston shares his wisdom with us once again. Drawing pocket rockets is only part of the game, without an understanding of the effect of where you are sitting, you could be on a hiding to nothing.

Finally, do you fancy creating your own API application or a free trial of one of the many Betfair trading applications? All details can be found on our Noticeboard. We also have details of up-coming education and academy events and information on our Product of the Month, Betfair Direct.

Happy punting!
