anyone had a right grind on the races today, im scalpng and its just been a chore, seem to be back and forth back and forth
For a pre festival lull I don't think its been to bad, expecting it more next weekend
I've caught quite a few good moves earlier in the afternoon - more than I was expecting to see
But been distracted by the RG final coming to life in the last hour or so

I haven't watched a footie game since the WC Final, I may tune in to see if City can reach the final frontier, imagine if they blew this one.
As recently as 19th May 1992 Nottingham Forest had won 2 more European Cups/Champions League than Barcelona

My apologies if this is in the wrong thread. I thought there was a thread called 'Today's Australian racing' but I can't find it.
Anyways it appears Betfair have settled the wrong horse as the winner of the 7.35 Sunshine coast.
Occasionally I dutch runners in certain Australian races. Today I dutched 6 outsiders in the 7.35 Sunshine coast. One of them was a horse called 'Keeta' and another was called 'Kubwa'. As it happened Keeta won and Kubwa came second (I had taken odds of 33 on Keeta and 55 on Kugba. I was kicking myself for not doing the forecast comb (usually for a tiny stake for interest, forecast with Hills paid £684).
It was taking a long time for Betfair to settle the market, they're nornally pretty swift at settling. Nearly 40 minutes went by during which I was assuming there was a stewards enquiry and the possibility of and amended result.
Sure enough after about 45 minutes Betfair paid out but on Kubwa. When I checked the Hills site later it still showed Keeta as the winner and Kubwa had been placed 5th? This is the same on The Australian racing sites.
I wouldn't have gotten my forecast after all.
Fortunately I backed both horses but it's frustating sometimes when you don't know what is going on. Perhaps some of our Australian members watched the race and can shed some light.

its like watching an airplane pull up too sharply until it stalls then falls back down to restart engine and repeat

I was actually posting about today before I went big picture, even in the grip of long term declinism today seems very bad indeed.

The ray of sunshine is that the number of transactions has remained reasonably steady. It's the £/bet that's down. I'm reading that as there being the same interest but everyone's too broke to have decent sized bets. If the economic conditions improve I expect the volumes to pick up again. Maybe not to the previous peak because there's more ways to spend a leisure £ these days, but enough to cheer us up.
Tbh it would be strange if volume wasn't down given the state of the country.
