My imagination or is there much less money on the racing on Betfair recently?

It must be imagination as well then mate! I had £400 at 3.30 for Monster Munchie Newcastle 15:55 I had £37.34 left and I kid you not it just sat there for about 30 seconds! The money was dropping in and out of the market and it seemed to get taken £2 per go!! It was almost like XM money was being matched in front of me!!

[JollyGreen]

Hooray!!! I had some residual money left over and finally the Take SP option made extra profit!!

[SpikeyBob]

Anyone else get about a 20 second hang during the build up to the 15:55 approx 4 minutes to post time or was it just me?

Thats exactly what is happening imo

This is sort of what we have seen, that money is getting matched but not ours. It seems a little odd as xm was supposed to add liquidity it has actually half the fill rate when we have tested it with live orders in the market. It's almost as though there is more money there then there really should be.

Newm 16:05, Did anybody see the move of Hubris, 12.5 out to 17.5 and back in again just before the off. Strange activity on Perfect Silence. Shooting up and down between 17's and 24's.

Big &*"£$! Backer caught me out on 'Gems' in the Brighton 4.15. Can't he go out and get a real job!

[rhysmr2]

All I know is I'm getting raped by the markets yet again!

£240 down so far today, I've lost over £600 in the last 3 days

In for a losing week, 5th one this year, I could do with going out and getting a real job!

[JollyGreen]

Finally I get a result to go my way. I was sat for ages waiting for a fill on that Brighton 16:15, took the SP and once again it gave me extra profit.

Amazingly that is my best result of the day thus far!

[JollyGreen]

Cancel that. The big backer has just hammered Boy the bell with several large bets and the price collapsed. Why are they betting such huge amounts in these crappy races?

[freddy]

definatly been some very volatile markets in the last few days thats for sure

[Euler]

After a slow start, I've managed to pull a few decent results together. Managed to restrict the early losses to very low numbers, so looking a bit brighter now.

[jimrobo]

I;ve just noticed something odd.

Are anyone elses response times slightly longer?? I usually get about 50 but I am on 120-140?

[JollyGreen]

My response times are slightly higher than normal but more important than that the market seems to be sluggish. The whole thing seems to stutter then it lurches forward. I think this is going to be a day to forget!

[jimrobo]

It wouldn;t surprise me if they are throttling the cache or something similar. The whole market feels like I am seeing data in slow motion

edit: scrap my comment just swapped connections and I am getting 30 on this one. Maybe it was my connection
