Royal Ascot - 2024

[Naffman]

This 17.05 has got to be the worst trading race I've ever seen at RA, no liquidity, no volume, nothing

Perhaps it's the footy?

Could very well be

Sounds likely to me. Liquidity in last week's US Open golf market improved dramatically when the England vs Serbia game finished.

Always dips dramatically during at England match.

Just updated yesterdays numbers.

We are heading, on Betfair, for about a 20% decline year on year. You expect a bit of a dip during a major footy tournament. But, of course, it dipped last year as well.

Yesterday was much better, probably thanks to the shorter prices.

But Betdaq was about 25% of Betfair's totals yesterday, so that's a good performance and similar to last years turnover.

Made good money solely from automatic TPD trades at Royal Ascot last year. Will be interesting to see how the same principles perform a year on.

Big fields, high liquidity, and no drones make for perfect TPD trading conditions.

My TPD performance three days in:
Down 18% vs 2022
Down 53% vs 2023

If it makes you feel better, all of my TPD stuff failed the week of Ascot in 2023 due to the 'connection bug' and my incompetence whilst on holiday. It seems everyone did very well that week

My in-play stuff works well outside of major meetings, but I've yet to fit it or understand how to use what I've learnt at major meetings. So far...

Maybe getting you out of the game was key for everyone else.

Ascot feels a bit better today.

Ascot feels a bit better today.

Damned by faint praise there

Declinism!

Ascot got a little better for me, but not a patch on last year.

Final TPD performance:
Up 0.6% vs 2022
Down 46% vs 2023

Funny enough you could deffo feel the presence of Ascot markets on footy
