Hey,
So just got a question on volume and money availability on the market. As far as I'm aware, the money that is shown on the odds is the money that is waiting to be matched and the volume is the amount of money that has been matched but after watching some markets, like one I watched this morning, it had a volume of £41 but there were hundreds or over a thousand available to match at any time. Can someone explain why the volume was so low but there were that amount of money sitting on the odds? I mainly ask because I'm wondering if it's volume or availability on the odds that matters most when trying to get matched at higher stakes? For example, if the volume is £41 and the money available on the odds says £150. Would you get matched if you go in with a £50 stake? Cheers.
Volume and market availability
The volume is the amount that's actually been matched since the market opened. The money you see under the odds is the money waiting to be matched.ija34 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 5:36 amHey,

It's possible for huge amounts of money to be waiting to be matched on a market with no volume, or conversely, a market could have huge volume but no current activity.
Your chances of getting £50 matched depend not on the volume but the odds you're betting at. For most markets, you've got 100% of getting matched at 1.01 and 0% chance of getting matched at 1000.
Hey, cheers for your reply. So basically, as long as the odds are saying there's over £50 then I'll more than likely be matched as long as there's no sudden change when placing the order? At the moment, my stakes are low so I've no problems but eventually I'll be placing £30 - £500 orders so just making sure it'll be doable which it seems like it will on Football.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 5:51 am

That's right, but if you're trading in-play, due to the delay, the odds are very likely to change. The best thing to do is increase your stakes gradually and see how you get on. It's hard to predict how much you can scale up to until you try it. If £1000 is on offer, you take £10 of it and the remaining £990 is still on offer or added to, you know you could have snatched that £1K if you wanted to. But if you're offering money to the market and you're £10 is taken, there is no way of knowing how much of £1K would have been taken if you offered it.ija34 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 5:55 amHey, cheers for your reply.
