Appreciated.

Cheers :o
Yes, and I can see a big loss in opportunity to non-UK traders in this respect. Especially if (like myself) you're trading at post-time looking for 'left-overs' like a tick here and there. I'm asking for trouble when the timeform radio announcer says "...and they're off" about 5 seconds after the market's gone in-play.

I've collected a lot of BF charts (and posted some of them in the 'Betfair chart of the day' thread) where quite often big drifts occur at post-time (sometimes due to a runner problem or other times due to big traders exiting positions on a steamer that might have over-stayed it's welcome) and you only need to be in the market for a few seconds to catch a big swing or reversal.

The radio service in Australia is to be applauded in this respect. The radio announcer will actually announce the last runner in the stall 3-5 secs before they're set off (thus giving the active trader plenty of time to exit or take SP). Both, race timing, and radio announcement are spot on. I trade very comfortably without any live pics in Aus racing.

A whole new level of weakness in todays betfair markets. Tipping point must be getting closer. I've never seen such weak markets since I've been on betfair.

I gave up after the first couple of races and focussed on some automation, it just seems like the price was being pushed wherever the big guys wanted it to go.

theres some really odd stuff going on in the markets.

I'm sure even betfair must be seeing a serious decline in volumes.
