Same here, lack of all-weather means there's nothing for ATR to show.

mondays always have a distinctive feel to them

Yep that lovely feeling of being at your own desk instead of someone else's
Monday's always have a good feel, with the whole week of opportunity streching ahead and no rush to get involved.

even monday football (believe it or not) can be pretty good for the same reasons - not a lot of action, if you get my *drift*

3 weeks till Windsor.

4 for the evening meetings which I generally consider as the starting of the 'Flat Proper'

[Derek27]

Every week for the next six weeks and event will mark the start of the flat 'proper'.

For me it's the Craven meeting.

Markets didn't offer me much today.

Didn't realise first up was a an afternoon.

I made a couple of cock-ups. It's almost as thought I didn't know what day it was - I was trading as though it was a Saturday market.

[Derek27]

Turf Paradise has been put back an hour!

Not sure if Betfair got the times wrong or there's been a delay at the course.

[Derek27]

Looks like Betfair got the times wrong - they've just corrected them.

[Derek27]

In the 21:53 Turf Paradise, a horse trading in the teens, RF 16%, was declared a non-runner. Betfair changed it's RF to 1% before removing it from the market!!!

[Derek27]

I've figured out the answer to life, the universe, and why Betfair markets go in-play early.

When Race 3 at Turf Paradise was off, they mistakenly put Race 4 in-play, suspended Race 4 and put Race 3 in-play 20 seconds later. I only happened to notice because I greened-up and moved on to Race 4 before Race 3 was off.

First incorrect race times, then bizarre reduction factors, now wrong races going in-play.

Don't know what's coming next but they're certainly having a good piss-up in the Betfair control room.

[Derek27]

They've now resettled the 21:53 (R2) and a back bet has mysteriously appeared, that wasn't matched when I green-up, leaving me in the red!!!

Still going though my account statement trying to figure out what's happened. What a pain in the arse!

They changed the 1% reduction factor to 11.11% but still haven't a clue how a back bet can be retrospectively matched!

[Derek27]

Don't know why Betfair have scrapped their email service. Chat to them about anything slightly complexed and they have to contact the exchange team and get back to you by email!!!

Rant over, hopefully.
