Enough liquidity elsewhere, not just to place a bet but to lay it off as well.
|

By:
I dont think that attitude moves the liquidity elsewhere though lol.

By:
And you don't think the alternative exchanges won't have IT problems if their trading volumes spike exponentially suddenly ?
|

By:
No idea but monopolies do nobody any favours, spread the bets is my motto

ok tried my 1st evening on the darts on purple exclusively.
i had no problem getting matched pre at the going rate, but in running it is just bots flashing odds on/off constantly and trading off in play is hard work. however i did get matched even if i had to offer a little more than the going rate. i won £357 on beaton and £375 on lewis paying amazingly £17 in commission in total! im not sure exactly what i wolud have to pay on betfair at my new 40% rate, but it must be around 250 quid compared to 17 quid at purple. so to conclude if i have to offer slightly bigger than betfairs price in running, i really have to give it a proper go over there and hope a few more come over. |

By:
And that's exactly what it should all be about.
Go to where it best suits your betting hopes and dreams and abilities. Sounds like a hard but fun gambling session. Well done squire. |

I'm a significant cricket test match trader.
I just checked betduck and the liquidity (open offers) is better than here. Although volume is far less. |

Duck suffers 'in running'

yeh but fafh, the purple site doesnt suit my betting hopes and ability.
the site is a little awkward in running and as i say odds coming on screen and then off all the time is not ideal. im purely there coz ive been forced out and i dont run any software/bots and have won my money purely on skill/knowledge in my opinion. |

By:
Here we go again.
" I'm a significant cricket test match trader ". Why not say " I'm a cricket test match trader ". Anyway unless pxb is Indian, and for some reason I don't think he is, he wouldn't probably ever be classed as even being potentially significant in cricket betting circles. |

But you will probably get used to it in time, and maybe even start to like it. In my case, in football, they don't even offer the mkts I want on most of the matches I bet in. |

By:
Hey that is quite interesting FAFH - which markets would you like to see ?
|
|
By:
All the ones that BF offer on most serious games.
|
|
By:
Which ones, specifically?
|

You keep telling me that I ask questions with an ulterior motive. You're surely not trying to turn the tables on me now are you ? I suppose I can at least say that ther are two halves in every football game. |
|
By:
Yeah I know it sounded like a loaded question but it wasn't. I was interested in which side markets you wanted.
|
|
By:
Simple. For me to stop making money.
|
|
By:
cat you can take a fairly significant drop in profit by switching to purple and still come out ahead of Betfair
|
|
By:
I am already doing my best bets on the Dublin exchange, I don't see me ever leaving complete;y but I think over time I'll do less here
|
|
By:
There was 40 million matched on the British Open last night on the winner when I turned it off, only 12 million on BF at the same time??
Not as many markets for example I can't find a tennis tournamment winner option only the round they are playing at the time. |
|
By:
The amounts matched are calculated differently there
|
|
By:
Purple's figures for the Open will look massive as they count matched money on liability
|
|
By:
Rocket, the purple don't want me to play on their site but even if they did I could do so without affecting what I do on here.
So my answer is that simple.  |
|
By:
may i ask cat why purple wont let u play on their site?
i assume u must have played their before for them to reach that conclusion. cant beleive its because of the use of a bot as the site has loads of em on it! |
|
By:
They didn't stop me directly but insisted that I adopt a minimum stake of £10.
|
|
By:
which is basically same thing, so any chance again of explaining reasons why ?

Yes, it effectively killed my strategy. Apparently I was pushing 'better liquidity' off the screen.
