Blimey, It's slow today

Football, Soccer - whatever you call it. It is the beautiful game.

The most worrying thing for traders is when the fill rate becomes so slow.

I've got a number of trades open on various football matches this morning, but could have gone down the driving range for a couple of hours! There's plenty of liquidity, but it's all just too static to make decent greens from

Seriously frustrated!

Hi LeTiss
I traded the England v Sweden game on Wed and I thought the same? It was so slow that at one point (pre off) I went for a shower and left a couple of large orders in.
I was going to ask if others were finding it slow, but I rarely trade football these days and thought that must just be the way it is these days..
Regards
Peter

It seems that since July 1st fill rate has slowed up on a lot of markets. It can be really painful to get an order filled.

today at Punchestown on a 14runners inplay market 4 horses pulled up after ~1 minute of racing. Still there was only one trading at 1000 for at least 30-40sec. I switched to next market and did not watch it to the end.

there was also quite a few that traded high in running that won (I saw one at wetherby touch 1000) and quite a few that was very low and lost too

Hi G
Well lets hope today is similar ;)
Just out of interest; did you capture the odds real time or did you look up the prices after the event? If it was the latter where did you get the information if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks

I'am using market overview without any charts on it just the info of the market and sort it by the lowest price.
