Should be straightforward - the colours for 14 of the 30 Irish Grand National runners on Monday (all Gigginstown)

That's going to look like a team is racing similar to cycling :lol:
Though it might just be worth having a dabble in-running ;)

That's a relay team, 1 horse - 14 jockeys - that's really clever.

They obviously gave the matching hat to the best horse, on this basis i shall be putting my balance on.

without checking I would imagine the silks with the matching cap would be female?

Prices are OK but Live vid was very delayed for the first race and my stakes got swallowed during market suspension and it cost me £200 cause the horse's price shot up straight away.

I have a dilemma - my favorite time to trade is right near the start but the video is unreliable. Is there a soluton?

why dont you use sp, or write a auto rule to close out just before the offical off time or just after offical off (5 secs or so)?

Its bets being matched against SP which are set to cancel. If you notice there are often spikes during market suspension and this is what is causing the problem

......................


That is brilliant advice,only get involved when you have a more then 80% chance of winning,and just let peter and the top boys take money off the newbies and trigger happy traders, :idea:
80% chance? As long as your average wins outweight your losses anything over 50% chance is fine by me :)

They'll always be market condition where you'll excel but that doesn't mean you won't be able to master other market condition or come up with new strategies. The more time you spend in the marets the more quirks you begin to spot in all market types. Maybe it's my botting background but I'll rarely exclude markets as the old saying goes 'you've gotta be in it to win it'.
"80% chance of winning" how do you work that out any advice appreciated for a newbie. I understand that if a horse is odds on to win then it has a 50% chanceof winning according to the BA videos.

80% chance of winning if x y z situation please fill in the gap in knowledge thanks :D

do you mean you have a £200 back waiting to be matched close to the off without a counter lay of £200 lined up up somewhere and no sp?

also not a good idea to rely on betfair live vid for anything (my opinion)

with all due respect if you trade at the most volatile time (why i do not know ) not covering your arse, is a bit silly.

if you must back (or lay ) just before the off you need to place you back at sp and your counter lay at sp, at the same time. so if the race goes inplay both sp bets are covered, green or red up inplay (or let it run but, in my opinion usually a bad choice). you may have a loss, but it will not be your entire stake.
