Since the suspension of UK and Irish racing I've been looking into Australian racing and setting up automation. I've often found that If I load up say 6 or 7 markets 2 or 3 of them will become suspended prior to the race and my automation dosen't run even though the races went ahead.

Also I've found on occasions when I try to load Australian dogs in particular into guardian, as I load them they show up as suspended? This happens when I try and use the 'Quick pick'

Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Never really had the issues before with UK racing/dogs.

One thing I have noticed is that the aussie racing has a hell of a lot of non runners/scratchings. Whereas with the UK typically 95% of the overnight declared runners start, with the aussie ones it's more like 60 - 70%.

G'day Angel15, dog race scratchings come through quite late sometimes but other than a late scratching, no other general reason markets are suspended. Horses are a different matter in Aus. All events are suspended for 1-2 seconds between 5-10 min before the off. Main meetings it's roughly 7-10 mins whereas smaller meetings tend to be varied. Someone more knowledgeable than me will know the reason. i use 'time since market unsuspended' for all automations...

Hmmm what are the chances? My maths is lacking at best but it's a nice probability question, is the answer; (just for the 1-6 I've discounted the 7-8 altogether)

6^6

1 in 46656?

Hey Rik, awesome results from the wednesday meets in Aus. How are you managing to get such big results? Are you trading in play or is it all pre off? Just with the reduced liquidity in the aussie meets ( though it has been much improved with the susupension of all other sports!!)

I am based in the sydney and have been trying to get my head around trading for a while keep making the stupid mistake of going inplay when it wasnt planned and wiping out my bank then chasing losses!

thanks in advance Sarah
