Cheltenham 2020

[Diacritical Quark]

And so the week continues, loss on the first race of the day at Cheltenham, finally back to break even thanks to Lingfield, I really am a glutton for punishment it seems

[Naffman]

Anyone managed to trade well on Betdaq? I sacked it off after the first few races on day 1

[Euler]

It hasn't performed as well as in previous years.

1.04 I would have thought was huge value.

You seem to get better value at these bigger meetings. Often you will see them not even be fully filled at 1.01 despite being a clear winner at Cheltenham whereas at "normal" races all the money would be taken a lot earlier.

Great example of this in the 1450.

The horse has clearly won by about a neck yet you can have as much money as you want on the result up to 1.04.

Unless there is a stewards but I thought it looked okay.

Normally there would be no offers.

Good luck on the Gold Cup

There's more often appetite for risk on slow weekdays when there's far less money to go around and people still trying to get a total.

Somebody is sat on Delta Work here. If it goes it will go quickly.

Looks like spoof on the back side

[Dallas]

That was a lot of work for very little in return

The other races have been a hell of a lot easier

[Naffman]

Next race really lacking liquidity so should be a lot easier to get filled

Somebody was actively on it, so I was trading against it. Quite a battle.

[Naffman]

Beautiful on Billaway

I think you might be mistaking spoof money in these big markets for people deploying huge banks in the markets.

£20k in a Cheltenham market is highly unlikely to be a spoof, if it is a spoof, especially in a Gold Cup market it is a very poor judgement call to have made, it can be taken in the blink of an eye.

Just need JP wandering up and having a £100k bet and that will likely feed back significantly into the exchange.

There's been spoof in nearly ever market
