Cheltenham 2017

[aperson]

That's interesting to know, aperson. I've looked at the website a few times though never tried to actually trade on it. Was thinking of giving it a go this year, though don't think I'll bother now. Sounds pretty poor.

It's a little like when BF is having problems but not fully down. The prices on show don't actually exist. You put a back bet in at 3.5 and it shows that someone is prepared to lay you at that price but that's a price from a few minutes ago, then the screen may update to the "real" market but then refresh back to the old market! They seem to have released a new BETA site as well but that seems to have the same problems. Maybe it's my browser or something but I don't think so. If anyone else uses them would be interesting to hear if they have the same problems. I feel I may be missing something, perhaps the settings on my account are wrong or something but feel like it should be intuitive enough that I shouldn't have to work it out.

I don't believe what Smarkets portray at times. I agree with Dallas, i think they are cross matching to give the impression of extreme liquidity

Didn't notice it so high last year. They were a fraction of the volume. Be nice if they did become viable with 2% flat rate.

Foxtail Hill has drifted all day long in the 5.30. Not even favourite anymore

some nice spikes in the last

A very dissapointing day on the trading. Didnt think I would make the same as I did on Sunday on stakes that are 5x. Blew the first two. Just didnt expect the markets to behave the way they did.

The markets were a massive eye opener for me today. Putting money either side of the book and waiting didn't work out well for me. I was pretty hopeless to be honest. Had some decent results on the other cards. I may try betdaq tomorrow. See how i get on there. Still good fun nonetheless.

[Dallas]

Was steady away from the off today with no real surprises

[davedragon]

Last race was awful, slow fill rate due to the delay and I got caught by some spikes.
The Altior race was so annoying basically scratching for half an hour
Going for larger stakes tomorrow.

Betdaq wasn't exactly a shambles today

Did anyone happen to notice if significant money went through those Acca markets on the exchange today?

Betdaq wasn't exactly a shambles today

Wow are you taking mainly swings on betdaq and scalping betfair or doing the same things on both exchanges just using both to get more money through?

[Euler]

The latter, you can come unstuck doing that though. But it's generally worth the effort.

[SeaHorseRacing]

I just relooked at my P &L because I had 5/7 today and I just noticed I didnt hedge on the first market. No wonder it wasnt what I expected. What is worng with me lately.

What an idiot I am, Would have had a much better day.

For anyone who has removed the profit column on theur laddders.. dont forget to hedge.

Unlucky SHR it's awful knowing you should've had a good day if it weren't for a mistake but live and learn

When do the betdaq 20% Cheltenham bonus come into out accounts, just curious
