Its interesting you got prices shooting off for some of the mid price runners at exactly 2 minutes, not 2:20 or 1:40 but every race exactly 2 minutes out. Was the same at Cheltenham, whats the most likely reason for that?

It looks like somebody hedging, most likely Betfair I guess.

I'm out of my positions by then and make a call on what to do after that. People avoided that could be the cause of lower liquidity.

Trickiest Ascot I think I've ever traded, for one reason or another.

There's been a big shift in how festivals have traded in recent years, but it seems to now be moving from a 'blip' to becoming the 'new norm'

This is the first time at Ascot that I've consistently struggled to get matched, nobody is taking my positions. I've had to keep reducing stakes to get matched.

It's becoming what Betdaq was where a lot of the time you'll only get matched if you're wrong

Could be the trading styles for the festivals are changing, and some of the bread and butter racing too.

In-Play action have increased overall due to more acceptance that trading pre-race, only really gets going 5 mins before the off, and then the more unpredictable moves occur 2 minutes before the off.

I have more succes predicting how a certain selection may run, when confirmed IP, I will enter a trade within the price range I believe value, then exit (or let it ride) depending how things develop.

In business, it's adapt or die.
