Are The Purple Getting Closer...

Figures are calculated differently, and for something like golf it can make a big difference.

It is but very slowly.  I'm putting up some money on there when I get the chance and it's worth my while.  It could be the tipping point to me getting four screens.

As for money matched on Masters, it's not comparable.  I believe total matched is the sum of (odds x stake), so £10 matched at 100 is £10 matched on Betfair but £1,000 matched on BDaq.  So the high odds in golf make the disparity larger than other markets you would have looked at.

bigger pools and figures on football and other non racing sports usually.racing is the only one lagging behind but catching up fast.in 6 months it will pass bf id say.at moment its 6 months commission free...and no premium words mentioned!!

They might be getting closer but they are still hundreds of miles away, and as someone said on the horse racing forum recently, laddies haven't gone for the throat yet.

Who the hell bets on bookings and corners though??? It's like the safety car bet in F1. Call me naive or ignorant but personally think people must have some problemo if they want a bet on tittle tattle. What next??? Snail racing like on that Guinness Ad???

IMO of course!!!

Corner betting is really popular and so are yellow, red cards for certain matches. Just take a look at the Sunderland V Newcastle game at the weekend.

I asked the purple site to add over/under 11.5 corners for at least the Premiership matches but they haven't. The pr1cks on here have options for over/under 9.5, 10.5, 12.5 and 13.5 but no 11.5 and that would be the main one for being near evens and attracting betting volume for English Premier League matches.

Not a bf fan by any means but for horses early price purple really is a non-entity. I do use it occasionally but liquidity is so poor there and once they've taken a few bets the price gap between purple and bf can go from 3 ticks worse (normal) to 10 or more. Basically they shut up shop on  a selection. They have next to zero "real" customer liquidity up there its just their own bot which is linked to bf at 3 ticks worse - can go to 2 ticks if no interest in animal way after 11amish in the morning. Bf isn't much good for ep horses either tbf.

How many lads' shop customers will be sitting there logging on to do in-running on purple exactly? 

i don't know vis ,but i'm excited  on this one -sounds just the ticket if true

they are talking about getting wi-fi machines in with in running available on them

Purple need to put up markets with their bots early.It's important that there is a market at least 2 hours before an event.
I mean any event be in US horse racing or tennis.When people see a sea of 1.01's it puts them off.
A lot of by business has been moved there and am looking to increase on that as progress is made and
as long as this place continues in it's rapid decline.

That's if they are indeed seeding the market with their bots, but i doubt this.

It's not arbitraged it's copied, but should you put an offer up over there and it becomes an arbitrage then the copy bot will take it, which is a fundamental reason why it's extremely hard to take off.  It needs to get busy enough, whereby you can stick offers up and they are more likely to get matched manually of their own accord, rather than simply automated software that takes it purely because it's better than Bf.

re wi fi terminals in the shop..how much of an advantage time wise would there be over home traders if any?

i still say it needs a change of layout - esp on the c/score markets

what is the OBSESSION with trying to be different all the time ?

we are living in an era of freaks
