The fill rate was fantastic at times. I just wish every Saturday was like today on Betdaq.
Peter - If you have any data on volumes and fill rates for Betdaq today v historic I would be interested to know if there was anything different about today.
These days where you get loads of meetings on I find tend to go one of two ways usually. They turn into a nightmare or I get into the zone and the afternoon is over before you know it. Today was the latter.
Many thanks for that Peter. I did notice that some markets seemed to have much higher than I would expect traded volumes but I have no records to compare against.Euler wrote:Andy, volumes on Saturday were around 40% more than I would have forecast. I suspect that is why it was a good day.
You can see period blips up in volume and they seem to correlate with my better days.
Do you have any explanation as to why the volumes were higher, on Saturday there was so much more racing than is often the case which you would perhaps make you think that volumes would be down as it could be spread over many races as opposed to concentrated on fewer cards.
I don't have any records as I say but I get the feeling that some tracks seem to be much better than others and these often have certain characteristics which make me wonder if these better tracks have more bookies using Betdaq at them.
I also wonder if as liquidity picks up, I am sure it is much higher than a year ago for example, that the bookies oncourse and elsewhere talk about it and see BD as an opportunity to get matched easier now and so put more money through.
I am trying to get my head around why things are improving as I don't get the impression it is from more traders as it seems no one virtually on here uses them. I don't see the incentive for punters to use them so they only thing I can think of is that the bookies who we know have a relationship with BD are using them more?
