Without getting into a row about whats right, wrong, commission, fork all that.

The 7-00 at Leopardstown now stands at Matched: EUR 2,153, 25mins before the race, punters have had all day to bet but nothing doing, probably be €500k plus matched at the off, is it all traders? 90% traders, 10% punters?

7-20 at Limerick has Matched: EUR 1,134 as I type.

7-25 at Doncaster is Matched: EUR 24,248 and the 6-50 (13 mins away FSS!) has Matched: EUR 22,090.

Take traders out, how much would get matched? Shocked

Some of the figures certainty back up the idea that punters are losing interest a bit, if these are the figures on the "worlds leading exchange that welcomes winners" whats the bookie figures like, no wonder the levy is down Plain

I'm not overly in the know on the horse race markets, but in these days of guaranteed odds and other concessions from bookies (double results, each way terms, money backs at big meetings) it seems increasingly apparent there are few reasons to bet with BF IF you can still get on with the high street, especially on the lower priced horses.

...and as is the common theme on here, why would you want to get on early anyway when there is so little money in the market and your bet is just showing your hand.

Come 5 mins to off time and there must be a whole slug of money circling round trying to nick £5.  I guess only BF know the real figures.
