The problem is the second you try to add some liquidity you get run over by bots. Two events I spent some tinme on which both have almost zero liqidity, I put some prices up to a fair % and the bots top me on every selection immediately.
Well played Betfair. You encouraged them - I hope it is all that is left trading in a year. |

Those of us who bet in running occasionally are well aware of the problems with fast pic guys , bots , and "supposedly" live pictures . During the Open golf a week or so ago you would have assumed that the BBC were showing us things as they happened , in real time . Wrong . Red buttonites ( with built in delays inherent ) were ahead of the terrestrial pictures quite often ( I had 2 feeds , one cable , one terrestrial ) .
So anyone who bets in running making live assumptions is taking their betting life in their own hands . Liquidity is not going to be good anywhere except on a very few select events , mainly the athletics . Also the nature of Olympics is completely different to selected "invitation " events where 2 or 3 get appearance money and the rest are just making up the numbers . Be VERY selective is the only advice I would give to anyone betting in running . And as another general comment , the premium charge militates largely against shrewd layers , lots have gone away , and there are always going to be more punters than layers . |

the 'live' pictures of the swimming must be about 20-25 seconds behind what is actually happening, last night in what appeared to be quite a tight finish on tv, a swimmer went to 1.01 when there was still half a length left

A swimmer also went 1.01 the evening before with over 2 lengths remaining and lost. The pictures are 'live' (within 5 seconds), there's just silly money buyers out there

Even the tennis markets - and televised matches at that - have liquidity worse than awful.
