you can easily answer most these questions yourselves by opening a market?
turnover on average maybe a third of the UK racing, the. ig Saturday meetings about the same, same for inrunning
not sure of facetime feeds but there are some people at the tracks and or have access to low latency sat feeds
comission 5-10% minus reduction rate

Yes, all AU thoroughbred and harness meetings go in play (win only, not place). NZ thoroughbreds also do and select Friday harness meetings.

Liquidity is generally fairly poor but there's enough there to make a few bucks if you are clever enough.

Haven't checked lately but the Betfair pics used to be around 6 seconds delayed. BF have access to a fast feed to suspend markets etc, but do not have the rights to distribute it.

Someone is playing from the fast feed, there is speculation it is someone connected with either Betfair or the TAB but have no concrete evidence one way or another. It is not available to the public at any price I've been informed. Yes there are tracksiders, but there are only a handful at each meeting at most. No facetiming that I'm aware of. Some feeds are available on satellite with little delay but they are few and far between now and are also encrypted. Can be cracked but hardly worth the effort.

Victoria I think is 7% base commission, double check though as this could have changed.

Was hoping to bag some money before the UK racing starts. Totally failed!

Early leaders are being backed into insanely short prices in-running.
