Betdaq volume monitoring thread

That's pretty much how it feels to me. I can't see a huge change , (although I don't record data), but I seem to be doing better than usual. One theory I have, (and I may be repeating myself), is that some of the more aggressive BF price matching bots have loosened their parameters slightly meaning you are less likely to get suck behind them.

Another good day on Betdaq, it's really traded well this week. Will look at the data again next week.

I didn't find it as good this Saturday as I did recently but I also know I wasn't on the ball as much and didn't take full advantage but still had a better than on there than I was not that long ago.

I found the scheduling of today's racing really did not help. Why a 15 min gap (if you exclude the irish racing, as I did) before some crappy race then only 5min gap before Newmarket the whole day. Will racing never learn to schedule the races better? I felt it really impacted the markets today.

Overall an okay day, good to hear it was good in the week - I may have some free time this next week so may take a look towards the end of the week.

yep, another nice Saturday.

I don't have enough long term data to compare with last year and if this is cyclical but its felt like a spark has be lit these last couple of weeks. Maybe a coincidence and we will be back here moaning before long, but my strike rate has shot up during this period. Fingers crossed for a viable alternative!

Curious, the volumes at the Curragh today are some of the lowest I have seen. Odd.

In fact the whole card is way below what is has been recently, maybe 1/3rd of normal. It's like 70% of the money is missing.

Betangel working ok, but the other software really sticky and freezes now and again. Maybe some seeding bot not working?

Can't open football markets in BA. Definite problems there.

sorry that was on betfair not betdaq

[Euler]

Sunday's are generally weak, but on Betdaq today it was at least half normal volume, sometimes even less.

Betdaq have confirmed there were website issues today.

[Euler]

Well that couldn't be the cause as volumes are incredibly low again today. Something has changed.
