Hadn't noticed as I switched to Meydan (it's so easy). Yes, I would have been better off giving it more time.

Are you scalping Meydan?

Haven't had any problems with BD today, either getting in the market at different times or just affecting some users more than others...

No, I'm swinging. There's not much money in the market and you can't make much - it's just so easy as people back and lay quite a wide spread.

(Laurina looks pretty good!)

I thought the fill rate was a bit slower than usual in a few of the earlier races but otherwise ok
I was glad that last one held up ok, I was ready for a complete exit immediately the first sign of any issues and will be on the last too

[Euler]

That was a great trade

[Derek27]

Bit of a brief scalping opportunity on Squouateur as the market couldn't make up it's mind which way it's going.

Ditto, one bad sign and I'm outta there

[Naffman]

Markets traded really well imo

This year seems so much easier than 2017.
Less craziness going on

Best day of the festival for me.

Just realised, it's my 1000th post.

The money has been right most of the time too.

Just nine runners in the Triumph, smallest field I can ever remember.

I'm surprised you guys are carrying on with Betdaq - sounds like a real nightmare!

My reason is quite simple, I can make £40 on Betdaq and it is equal to £100 for me on Betfair given I have to pay 60% Premium Charge so on principle I won't use Betfair.

Laying a horse and not knowing if the bet's been matched for a whole minute is quite a risky way of making £40!

Sorry Andy, I misread your post in the heat of the battle.

Yes, I can see why you need Betdaq.
