Betdaq volume monitoring thread

£2.8m matched on the 15:05 on Betdaq
£3.5m on Betfair
Hardly a massive difference !

You are comparing Apples and Pears there.

Betdaq was actually £398,705 v Betfairs £3.5m at the end of the race. So Betdaq was 11.39% of BF.

Great to hear. What about other sports? Football and tennis for example.

Football is poor and inplay even worse. It's a no go area at the moment for trading.

Here is some work I've done on Betdaq volumes

Interesting.

On the second chart what is the y-axis?

[Euler]

Average % volume

[Euler]

Betdaq always seems to perform well in big betting races, so I'd imagine the lower % vol to Betfair reflects a lot of ping pong money on Betfair.

[Archangel]

Very good

Is there a chart to show average Betdaq volume over time ? I am assuming its growing year on year

[Euler]

Betdaq trading well again today. Particularly at Haydock and Sandown.

I've noticed something interesting.

Big betting heats can produce some cracking results on Betdaq but not on Betfair. So I think that this means that a lot more 'real' money is making it through the exchange on Betdaq and into our pockets than on Betfair.

What does "big betting heats" mean?

[andyfuller]

I would assume Peter is talking about big races, such as the feature race or a big competitive handicap.

There were some interesting/odd occurrences today on Betdaq where 'the market' was taking some odd prices at times.

It created some good opportunities but also caught me a couple of times which took the shine off what was shaping up to be an excellent day.

The last at Beverley saw virtually nothing matched on the drifting favourite, I couldn't lay it no matter what which still shows there is a lack of money at times, but things feel much better than they did a year ago on there.

What does "big betting heats" mean?

I'm not British but I assume it would be a synonym to "betting fevers", increased punter activity at certain markets.

Their money is real, it creates excellent opportunities for traders to take advantage of, because gamblers don't really care where exactly they get matched, as long as they do get matched.

Maybe a way to increase Betdaqs volume is for the Betfair Software vendors (Such as Bet Angel and others) to close down their Betfair trading software, leaving only Betdaq software available. Do this for just a week then see the difference.

Be good to get Peters view. Usually, he sticks stuff out there but never explains! A true a shepherd!
