Has anyone else noticed the increase in delay this week with the ATR pictures?

Coincidence?

Can't say I've noticed, but surely betfair don't have any influence over ATR! Even I'm not paranoid enough to think that!!

Come on mate you're supposed to be the voice of reason on here ;)

Lol - I am not saying it is Betfair :lol: , I should have said that to begin with.

Won't say who I think it is but it is common knowledge 'they' have been on the take in the past before.

The delay has definitely got worse. BF Live video is well ahead now of ATR where as before it was only fractional.

There is a big thread on the BF forum about it as well I believe.

Tomorrow have a look and you will notice the pictures are still showing them being loaded when BF is ir and the market suspends well before they cross the line (worse than before).

From a pre race trading point of view this has impacts.

Ah funnily enough I did notice that once today when it was suspended a couple of seconds before the stalls opened, I just thought it was the betfair suspension guy's fault

It was as blatant as anything that time, a good 2 seconds. Hope nobody was caught out badly there, especially with the favourite unseating the rider at the start like that

Have to agree. Had noticed the delay had increased recently but thought it was just me. Very noticeable on the 1400! Another one for the conspiracy theorists

I thought it was just me as well, but it seems that they delay probably has increased.

Looks like delay has doubled now 5 seconds, more like a recording now rather than live pictures

Watch it on Betfair Live Video. It is 2 seconds quicker than ATR.

Very good service Betfair. Well done and thank you :| :|

Thanks for that much better than ATR, although I note you have to put trade through before you can watch stream.

Actually You don't have to put a trade through. It is enough to leave a stake out of money (i.e. £10 @1.01) and second after You can click on betfair video stream and it will fire up.
