I never include scratched markets in my strike rate or even bother logging them in my accounts.

The thing that frustrates me is that sometimes you think you've scratched a market only to find due to fragmented bets and rounding off, you've won or lost the odd penny.

[eightbo]

don't be so mean to your scratches! they've earned their place in the distribution of your results

I haven't found too much use for them in fairness but start adding variables like volume / price / time and you may stumble upon some patterns in larger sets of results

I thought I was the only one!

That really pisses me off, you think you've escaped a loss only to find half of the runners in the race have a -0.01 liability. And of course you then have to watch the race to see if you scratched or lost!!

Definitely think there's a bit of residual PTSD of when 1 red trade would completely ruin a days trading and lead me to do all kind of stupid things!

It's just as annoying when you win a penny - it doesn't pay for the effort of entering the market in your accounts.

But sometimes on my trading software and the Betfair site I have £0.00s by each horse name. But after all the number crunching's done it's a penny out!

don't sweat it Pat I got you bro

The drug known by the street names Ecstasy or Molly could be a promising treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a new study.

Research published Tuesday in the British journal The Lancet Psychiatry found that after two sessions of psychotherapy with the party drug, officially known as MDMA, a majority of 26 combat veterans and first responders with chronic PTSD who had not been helped by traditional methods saw dramatic decreases in symptoms.

The improvements were so dramatic that 68 percent of the patients no longer met the clinical criteria for PTSD. Patients taking the drug also experienced “drastic” improvements in sleep and became more conscientious, according to the study.

Thats an interesting cross over from the other thread where you list horses names that gave you a giggle... I'm sure I've seen a horse running somewhere that was called Disco Biscuit!

[Gauss]

in running markets seem to have some large stakes flying about at high prices toady

With the API issues; Ive had a few (unusual) high odds today..just waiting for a big un!

(Status has changed again since Gutuami posted)..

What causes this?, are we saying that Betfair are incapable of handling traffic on a Satuday?, Euler, you have visited BFHQ so I understand, what is your stance on this?
