Today's Horse Racing
The cost of living is going up and up. This would affect/impact the markets going forward. People cannot afford to live anymore. Also, it would be interesting to see what the matched volume increase/decrease would be at 00:00:00 as money is moving in later and later all the time.

Had a terrible L2B and B2L afternoon. Both made bad losses ... even checked to make sure I hadn't got them the wrong way round!

I agree, outside of the rarified world of sucessful traders the country is on it's arse so it no suprise and totally expected that volume would be affected. Aus holding vol and UK declining seems to reflect the underlying economies.
The #transactions is still growing though which is evidence of residual interest so once people have got a few more quid in their pocket, there might be a small recovery.
As at the scheduled start...

I didn't think Betfair published this data any more? With transaction data that looks like the old historical data they used to make available?
I keep my own data which reflects what you have posted. Is that just one data set?
I don't keep tabs on Greyhounds. How is that doing?

I've noticed over the last couple of months that it's gotten harder to get my in-running trades and DOBs matched. No doubt due to less liquidity. It's also possible that not only the cost of living but new betting restrictions are driving people out of the market.
On the subject of the cost of living, one thing that really pisses me off is that the oil companies keep the petrol prices high even when industry experts and watchdogs have analysed and explained that it should come down.
Liquidity on some of the lower quality stuff has been very poor. But the better quality stuff has been OK, though not without exception.
I do think Betfair are losing market share, as data I get from other exchanges does not reflect the decline on Betfair. But no doubt there are headwinds out there at the moment.

I put a similar chart on the greys thread but I'll send you the raw info later if I remember. I think you're right, it's not something they divulge anymore.Euler wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 6:00 pmI didn't think Betfair published this data any more?

I only have detailed data for uk/aus dogs/horses (saved stream). The trn count is simply the number of market change messages from when the market opens, the actual will be slightly higher due to conflation in the late stages but it's a reasonable finger in the wind.
For those interested, found it:

If anyone has a US/AUS resource similar to this please share, cheers
