Volume matched changes over the past year

Hi Guys,

If you check the BSP daily reports you can quiet easily calculate the volumes

F*** volumes! They are almost irrelevant in Racing.
I have traded 10% of the volume in a race once. It doesn't mean anything. (BTW I won less than the cost of taking the family yo McD's.

So true! Markets felt good in the first hour today and then, started drying out, to almost untradeable by the end, even thou matched volume figure did not change much... That's just my point of view

When evening racing ends it feels like a huge relief to me.

Very interesting gutuami, a worthwhile exercise to see what is happening overall.

Underlying liquidity seems poor though?

I noticed you summed the morning and pre-race volumes in your total number which is probably not what you intended.

The total volume shown in the graph above is simply pre-race+inplay vol.

Thanks for this - very interesting!

Have you been tracking the matched volume of the other popular trading sports too?

e.g. Cricket, Tennis, Football etc?

Would be very interested in seeing their comparisons if you have.

Cricket is the only market that is really growing: -

For all the negativity about Betfair liquidity - Cricket is just exploding as a trading sport
