It has happened again (Romford 19:12)
The dog won but the market was still going! - Dumped £50 into the market, didn't throw the kitchen sink just incase something weird happened!
Trading Greyhound racing
I'm awaiting to see what happens - word got out and suddenly someone else dumped some money in too
Surely if they don't pay out - they'll just void the market? Or can they literally just say no?

Im not sure, my initial feeling is that they will void it but it'll be interesting to know what the outcome of the payout will be.
It appears to have paid out something - although it isn't appearing in the p&l and my balance is higher than it was when I entered the tradejamesg46 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 7:36 pmIm not sure, my initial feeling is that they will void it but it'll be interesting to know what the outcome of the payout will be.

This happens quite often. I got excited the first few times too, throwing money at a dog that I'd just watched win, however BF in every case thus far eventually suspended the market, then reversed the book to what it was prior to the off, ie whatever reds or green I had prior to the race start are what's actually paid out. Sometimes it can take them 20 minutes or so, but that's been my experience on a good half dozen occasions, which explains why more people don't smash the price in of the winning dog as soon as it's won.

Hi All,
My first post so please ignore any ignorance.
Thought I would revitalize this thread, possibly not the best time when the World Cup is in full flow.
To all you established botters/servant users, do you believe VWAP holds any weight in "gappy markets" such as greyhound markets?
Messing around with a few things but I'm not sure if VWAP is much help with all the late action, any thoughts very much appreciated.

Having collected data on the greyhounds for the past few months and putting everything into improving my excel/vba skills etc so I've started to put it all together, it's given me a better understanding of how the markets work (still lots to do) so I did something I never set out to do and that's start to trade greyhounds manually from the ladder and it turns out I'm really enjoying it. It's a funny old game this trading

Its often the case you go down a rabbit hole and end up doing something you'd never thought of or set out to do

Yes data/automation certainly is a rabbit hole as I've discovered very quickly but will carry on working with it while I manually tradeDallas wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 6:01 pmMichael5482 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 11:58 amHaving collected data on the greyhounds for the past few months and putting everything into improving my excel/vba skills etc so I've started to put it all together, it's given me a better understanding of how the markets work (still lots to do) so I did something I never set out to do and that's start to trade greyhounds manually from the ladder and it turns out I'm really enjoying it.

It's starting to look like last orders for UK greyhound racing, mainly because the GBGB have been so utterly useless at ensuring animal welfare. It would be an inconvenience as I make good money on dogs but these things aren't about self interest and it would be difficult to argue against the proposed ban. I think most people who bet on the dogs already do so with deep concerns about what they're condoning.

I read the article at the weekend regarding the Welsh Government Committee recommending it should be banned in Wales, so won't be long before something similar gathers momentum in England off the back of itShaunWhite wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 11:56 amIt's starting to look like last orders for UK greyhound racing, mainly because the GBGB have been so utterly useless at ensuring animal welfare.

You've only got to count the number of greyhound rehoming charities to see there's a problem. The sport should have been professionalised years ago, industry run 'stables' etc cos its only there for the bookies anyway....rather than for the entertainment of anyone with £500 to buy a dog and breed a dozen pups.Michael5482 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 12:50 pmI read the article at the weekend regarding the Welsh Government Committee recommending it should be banned in Wales, so won't be long before something similar gathers momentum in England off the back of itShaunWhite wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 11:56 amIt's starting to look like last orders for UK greyhound racing, mainly because the GBGB have been so utterly useless at ensuring animal welfare.
