Today's Horse Racing

[ShaunWhite]

That Wind Your Neck In market was fun...and some twitchy bum winners no doubt. Logged on to see how I was doing and hung around to watch it when I saw the automation was just about to green a decent amount

I think you can post numbers if its supposed to be "inspirational"

Horse racing has some inspirational story's and does some amazing things at times none more so than what Godolphin done for Cody with Cody's Wish, so sad to read of his passing. RIP Cody.

Been away from the ladders for a while - what the hell has happened to the Volume on the Horse Racing. Most races today struggling to hit >£100k 5 minutes for the off.

Affordability checks going to ruin this industry in its entirety. I get the feeling there are people out there looking to systematically looking to destroy this County as an experiment just to see if they can.

17.00 at Chelmsford didn't go in play until about halfway through the race. Few bob lost.

There really should be an option on BF for when this happens.

Set your slider to "void bets", or to "let run"

Had a small bet on the winner for a 30% drop in price pre-off.
Greened up before in-play. But returned full bet at 18/1 after market closed.

You can't void a bet unless the matches on the other side are voided, some of those might have said let it run.

I though something was odd, I randomly looked at the markets and I was about £800 green across the card, and then the voids happened.
I was on the right side this time but they even out over the year so it's not a bonus, just borrowed money like your lost money is just lent money, you'll get it back so don't let it get to you. You get numb to big ups and downs.

Nice one


It seems in every market now, there are large positions taken in play. Do people think this is bookmaker money? Dumb money? Smart money? Interested on people's thoughts...

I didn't think of that.

I didn't think of that.

99% of our bets aren't far from 0EV so if they're missed or run it doesn't matter much. The irony is that a handful of problem markets can be really impactful to your balance, but if it happens 100s of times they're going to even out. It's one area where I feel sorry for people who aren't trading 10,000s of races a year and almost have the benefit of hitting every glitch and issue 247. I get a 'funny' 4 or 5 times a day that's +/-50x my expected numbers especially overnight, but if you trade infrequently you might only have one a month and those can hurt.

Hopeful bump.

Hopeful bump.

If it stops in a week it's dumb money if it persists it's smart. Is it on all runners and at the same offset from sp?

[Crumpets]

Seems to have been happening for months. So it can't be "dumb" right? I'm just noticing it more frequently. Looks as if people are holding large pre off positions (kicking and screaming), and then the prices either collapses immediately in play, or they seem to double down in play. Often when they do the latter, it's more of a pump and dump, and the price soon moves violently against them.

I only watch the first few ladders, so I couldn't say if it's on all runners.

Just boggles my mind. I always assumed big competent players covered their tracks when trading; head above the parapet n'all.
