It sounds as though from the posts on the forum that there were issues yesterday with Betdaq so if it is okay today it will be interesting to see if volumes return.
Thanks for doing the stats Peter.

0% commission this saturday for ascot and newmarket on daq
from an email i just received
"As a recent user of the BETDAQ exchange you may have been impacted by some technical issues over the last few days.
While the issues were external to our systems and beyond our control they resulted in a poor experience for some of our customers. Thankfully these issues have now been cleared and normal service has resumed.
As a thank you for your patience while these issues were resolved we've decided to go 0% Commission on all races at Ascot and Newmarket this Saturday.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your ongoing loyalty"

At BETDAQ we're serious about sport and serious about exchange betting and we're always thinking of ways to improve the exchange experience for our customers. On October 1st we're rolling out our next big idea.
From Thursday we are reducing the commission paid by customers who make offers on the exchange to a flat 2% commission.
Making offers gets you better odds, narrows the gaps between back and lay prices, and creates larger volumes for others to match. Offers make the exchange better for all customers so we're rewarding those who make them.
So get making offers - the power is in your hands to win more and pay less! For more info on the new commission structure, click here!

3 good bits of news on Betdaq then today.
Good to hear the volumes are back Peter - interesting that they fell off a cliff when the site had problems.
The offer on Saturday is very good of them but the new commission offering is excellent! The only worry I have about it though is is it sustainable for the business model?
Hats off to them for coming up with it though, as I offer a price 95% of the time it is very welcome!

It is days like today where I wish I had data to look at. I was expecting a good day today after yesterday's markets were really good.
Today the fill rate is very poor but there appears to be decent amounts in the market - bizarre!
Hopefully it will pick up as the afternoon goes on. It hasn't helped that I lost my biggest green of the day thanks to the obsession these days of presenters talking right over everything until they jump and the camera men seemingly only able to give close up shots these days - you used to get a wide shoot so you could see how many were left to load. Very frustrating.
Plenty of time yet though...

Perhaps - I am not on BF so couldn't comment on those markets.
15:30 was a good example, Oli on RUK thought there was one to load but actually there were 4 or 5 as the camera angle only showed the stalls.

Yes i wasn't planning on trading then when I was flicking through the channels whilst eating my lunch I saw Newmarket was on TV and then realised it was a good day of racing so fired up Betdaq.
In the rush I made a mess of the first few races but since then it has been plain sailing and glad I ditched my other work for a spot of trading.
The only issue I am having is that the new website keeps logging me out, has happened three times this afternoon. Only option is to re-log in. I use the website to access the live video.
