Why not run it behind closed doors? Get the TV cameras in and at least the sport goes on.
Yes, the hospitality takes a hit, (prob insured in some way). More people will come across to the exchanges as the on course market won't be available.
The ISP could be computerised based on the bookies average price and exchanges too.
makes sense, tho i doubt that ISP as you mention is something that can be pulled out of a hat at short notice without compliance checking and backtesting etc, etc...wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:10 amEuler wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 10:03 amGuess we should start this thread now as there is already an active market already.

Shouldn't be a deal breaker. Bookies would probably be creative and create their own.jimibt wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:33 ammakes sense, tho i doubt that ISP as you mention is something that can be pulled out of a hat at short notice without compliance checking and backtesting etc, etc...wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:10 amEuler wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 10:03 amGuess we should start this thread now as there is already an active market already.

Big swing....fearing the worse?

I've been taking out money from the market when it approaches 2's and put some back in as it contracts.
At 50% and seven days, that's quite a bit of time decay, unless there is an explosion in cases. All the football went ahead this week and you have more in one stadium than in the whole of Cheltenham. So it's not a decision to take lightly. Going forward Aintree could be a problem, but if they cancel that, they need to abandon the footy as well.
The traditional flu season ends soon, so it boils down to a medical judgement on whether they think the warmer weather will kick in and give everybody six months to prepare for the next one.

I've been keeping tabs on a lot of virologists accounts and at present, there is nothing to indicate that there is any seasonality with covid19 i.e. we could be in for the long haul.

It won't be stopped unless a cure is found. Even if we get a vaccine, folk could still get it now it's out in the wild.
At the moment the UK is still in the containment phase and still nothing like what we have seen in China or Italy. I would imagine we will get to the point of physically limiting movement when we hit ~1k confirmed cases. Looking at the growth in S Korea and Italy, we are still in the early days but possibly at the point where things start to kick off - I'll make a guess we'll have 1000 confirmed case mid festival.
