Fill rate today is the poorest I have seen for some time on Betfair. Very tough to get any reasonable amount matched.

Cartmel delayed, not ideal.

Betdaq doesn't seem to change character much. I am using a slightly different strategy over there so it's difficult to directly compare.

Too many races clashing, delays etc. Couple of good trades but a otherwise very jumbled up day.

Doesn't help it all being on RUK bar the irish. The coverage on RUK today and recently tbh has gone right down hill.

They spend 5 mins discussing a race after it has run with 4 or 5 replays of the closing stages and then just have 30 to 60 seconds to talk about the up coming race.

IMO most people would like to hear more about a race coming up than one run as they have already won or lost their money and now want to look at getting their next bet on rather than watching endless replays of a finish.

I guess it is easier for the presenters though to talk about the race that has run than the one coming up.

Yeah that's what I was thinking... I thought I was just rusty but I still haven't made a bean.

TBH I have found this Saturday better than any Saturday for some time. Can't say I have noticed any fundamental change Jimrobo. What is it you think has changed?

even with the appalling ruk coverage of the day something still feels untoward. Some funny price action and liquidity in the markets for me.

Agree with Andy. Best day for me for a while. Actually for me today feels 'normal' since PC2 effective date.

maybe its just me then but I have not enjoyed today one bit.

You guys that have enjoyed it can I ask have you got the chunk of your profit pre off or in play?

Mine would be more Pre Race. It isn't the best day I have had recently, just the best Saturday but I have found recent Saturdays pretty rubbish tbh.

I often seem to do well when Peter founds it poorer and vice versa so perhaps it is just different styles suiting different conditions.

Thursday I found rubbish for example.
