Excluding the MC I’m down on the day. Looks like the bot had a bit of a downer at Randwick - something bad must have happened.
Australian racing
That's sad. I saw him pull up sharply and disappear off the screen but couldn't see exactly what happened.
I gave back all of my green and went into the red.
Wasnt' Cross counter was it?
I gave about 40% of my profits back in the last minute when I couldn't get out quick enough
Was it R4 at Randwick? Betfair had issues and didn't turn the market inplay at all and it was still open some time after the race was run.
Yes was sad, his off fore was flapping around, would have been put down straight away and thankfully the horse is unlikely to have felt any pain.
Shame about losing your green, I gave back a good chunk in the last 5 minutes but still got a fantastic result. But as I said elsewhere on the forum, these big races/meeting aren't the bee all and end all for the vast majority of traders so wouldn't worry about it and carry on with what you do best.
Yes it was, I suspect it was made worse with people leap frogging each other trying to exit.
Note to self - exit the market about 5 minutes before the off next year.
It was refreshing to see the market so lively and with decent volume. Some of the big UK races have been a bit weak this year, but the MC market was pretty strong. I was pretty much out when those late moves occurred.
You tend to find on all big races in the UK and Aus, money tends to get pulled late on as people exit positions so that loosens up the market a lot.

I've often described Randwick as a free money bar, so I can't believe I'm down at Randwick!
It's not trading as it usually does, very low liquidy, markets are more volatile and horses are getting backed down quite heavily - not the usual scalping market.
I'm well aware that I've just contradicted an earlier post tonight.
The markets set up is quite different to normal though don't forget, it is MC day which means a lot of people have the day off and are focusing on the racing, but a lot of that attention is only focused on Flemington. Also there is heaps of other racing on, a bit like a bank holiday in the UK.Derek27 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:51 amI've often described Randwick as a free money bar, so I can't believe I'm down at Randwick!

I am finding the non flemington markets quite good in general tbh, some are utterly dead but others are makign for great scalping markets and they seem to be more alive as the session has gone on.
Yes, though that is still a lot of people and quite a few others will be given time to watch the race even if at work.Aarondewit wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 5:22 amIt's only a public holiday in Victoria. Most of Australia is at work.
Had a chance to check in again.

Was probably lucky to get out of it with not too much damage.
