Cheltenham Festival 2021
well overall the big meetings will be easier to do well as percentage of casual players a lot higherShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 4:10 pmNo not at all, just accept that trading Cheltenham might not be your thing unless you've got some experience.

One for the newbies to digest. 20yrs * 50 weeks * 50hrs and he's not finding it easy. And most years there's similar comments.

Me too, automation had a good day at Hexam, plus bagged the first at Chelmsford at 11.20 ... keep telling some of the people I know about using exchanges but falls on deaf ears... normal s.p. was 5-1 ... even on punts your better off on the exchange.....
we’ve got a guy at work, we sarcastically nickname him “Top Punter”, he says the Betfair exchange site looks too complicatedMAGTRADEUK wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 5:12 pmkeep telling some of the people I know about using exchanges
It's very much related to what you are doing and on what stakes.
So it's not possible to create a generic fill rate calculator. My observations are based on my ability to get orders matched or not.

today turned out to be a good learning experience for me, no real profit to speak of but seen some recurring behaviour in the markets
if I’m honest it turned out to be a case of limiting losses, (repeat to fade), until I caught a biggie at the death & even then I was in & out a few times on the fav /2nd fav in the last at Cheltenham, my first thoughts on the move were correct but kept scratching until I was confident to pull the trigger on backing the fav
