I had a quick look in running 20 mins into the game and there had been less than 100k matched in the MATCH ODDS market. Truly, truly shocking liqudity.

The liquidity in relentless decline now in most Betfair markets. Cry

The Grand Final usually had well over 7 figures matched before the current Paddy Power Mgt took over Betfair.

British Masters Golf Amounts Matched at time of this post

Betfair £988,687
Purple £1,901,453

Befair no longer the place to be for Golf Betting so Purple are making advances.

The fact it clashed with the second half of the Wales game likely didn't help the traded amounts, TBF.  I for one didn't turn over until just before half time.

And the way Purple calculates amounts matched is so far removed from the way BF does that it's not worth discussing.

Go to the first goalscorer market on the exchange for the Germany Georgia game and look at the strikers quoted for Germany, then do the same on the sportsbook. Spot the difference.

same applies to the "to score" markets. Ineptitude or deliberate?

I think this is deliberate Cry

The point being that the Purple liquidity amounts are 4 times what they were 1 year ago regardless of how they count matched bets

Without sitting down and working it all out, you cannot possibly know what the matched amounts mean.  £10 @ 1000 on Purple = £10000 matched.  It amounts to £20 here.

interesting to see that one person puts the sportsbook market up and someone else puts the exchange market up. Nice saving to be made there when paddy takes over!

Paddy Power will probably delete the Exchange Market

Seems betfair are reliant on exchange punters informing them of market errors these days.
