virtually all day leishman has had no money available to back at any prices. just a series of £2s. would be looking at evens if you wanted a 50 quid on. its ok if the player you want to back has some money, if not then the exchange is pointless. putting up money is pointless cos nobody lays it until they drop a shot.
|
|
By:
there has been 20k matched on leishman at 11.5/12 most of that was overnight.
If you put money up you would be surprised what gets taken |
|
By:
it means that basically if youre trading any players, or just want to back or lay a player, you have to wait until the end of the day when some real money gets put up.
or you have to guess who you may want to back the next day. and i did, ive had nearly 900 quid up to back leishman for hours. got about 30 quid of it matched. at 12.0. hes now 14.0 on exactly the same score as he was when i wanted to back him at 12.0! nobody lays fook all if you put it up. they think he must have got an eagle that nobody else in the entire world knows about! |
|
By:
He has traded between 7.6 and 30 this afternoon it's been quite busy today I thought
|
|
By:
ive had plenty matched today trebor.
bob leishman went out to the high teens when he bogeyed the first |
|
By:
yeah but he only moved, as do most players in play, when he either made a birdie/made a bogey/ or looked like making one of those. during times of nothing happening, which is most of the day, you couldnt get a brass button on him at any price.
|
|
By:
bob - your problem is u are complaining about liquidity and the fact is we all complained but your around 3 years late - got done to death then!!
|
|
By:
Same here, I have had over 150 bets matched since 2pm and things Like that 7.6 on Leishman was what someone asked for.

By:
if keegan goes +3 thru 3 again i'm going to punch a dolphin.
|
|
By:
can I borrow your dolphin after, please
|

By:
the point im making is if traders are so smart and clever, why have i now been able to back him at 13.5 purely cos hes not playing anymore, when they could have layed me 12.0 when there was a chance of him making a bogey on the last hole? traders just go to sleep until someone has finished their round.
im obviously a complete buffoon wanting to back him at 12.0 at that point, but nobody wants take advantage of that! he'll probably be 16.0 tomorrow morning when im asleep too! im a traders wet dream ffs! |
|
By:
must admit tho - yes it's been like this for a few years now BUT I do worry that people who i kinda respect from the posts on here in mighty and trebor seem to have accepted the pants state its in ,and even feel the need to PROTECT IT!!!!
|
|
By:
protect it as in not wanting it to get worse
|
|
By:
oh well, unless rose crashes bad, im screwed :/
|
|
By:
I wish Shot Tracker would sort the colour scheme out. I keep thinking everybody is on the road etc!
Oh no! Rose has just got another birdie! Does anybody wanna join my suicide club! |
|
By:
me sheppy!
|
|
By:
sorry defend - wat i mean is they are writing as if it's good enuff,plenty matched etc - the place is fooked it has been for years lets not try and kid folk to anything else!
|
|
By:
I would love it to be how it was 10/12 years ago, but it's not but it is still workable.
|
|
By:
Hold on, I must be seeing things. Shot Tracker has just changed from birdie to a par!
 Forest - we just need to find a good bridge now!  |
|
By:
hire a dolphin would clean up it appears...
|
|
By:
added Charl Schwartzel
|
|
By:
haha sheppy yeah
|
|
By:
tbh I suck, I picked like, 8 runners and none closest is 4 of the lead
|
|
By:
worse thing is, I only started with 5, then added to it after reading these forums. I always do it and it never works out well :p
|
|
By:
maybe SMALL stakes workable to a very select few but to majority they see nothingness - need to educate not pretend all is good - IN MY OPINION not trying to argue lol.
|
|
By:
i need rory to have a storming round and go round in 58, that would rescue it!
|
|
By:
vegas what do you propose would solve it? seems what you want is more mugs, betfair cant be blamed for not having enough of them in the world
|
|
By:
Don't worry Forest, it won't matter soon!
I might choose loads of golfers I think won't win next time, I may have more chance! |
|
By:
Damn it! Somebody must've told Reed that I've bet on him!
|
|
By:
haha sheppy
tbh i should have done EW bets, I have 5 players joint T10 |
|
By:
lol - no i have no solution but i dont think basicly giving a guy stick for questioning wats up with the markets can benefit anyone
|
|
By:
im on Moore,watch him crumble
|
|
By:
Vegas I will answer that question for you later after the golf has finished, at the moment I am too busy
 |
|
By:
indeed, but tbh he is complaining there is no change in the market unless there is a change on the game, which is a bit backwards imo.
we can all harp back to the 'good old days' but things were odd then, with many backers/layers learning the game, it was clear the market had to correct itself, which is what we are getting now. its the same as all, poker, blackjack etc, so much harder to turn a profit now people have a higher basic knowledge |
|
By:
fair play :) i'm supposed to be working but doing my gonads on the horses and have practicly given up on the day - good luck no doubt c u later :)
|
|
By:
liquidity has been relatively good today 85,000 matched in the last hour
|
|
By:
vegas, i follow ben linfoot from sportinglife for horses.
you could do a lot worse than follow his staking plan and tips. he's cleaning up @ goodwood this week too. red avenger and take cover are paying for tmrw's dim sum  |
|
By:
thanks mate but i aint a punter - only play once race starts - tis the route to the poor house is punting if u do this as a job.
sounds like u may have had a good one thru it tho - well done  |
|
By:
i know nothing about horses. but it appears i know who to follow :)

By:
I was making nice profits when waiting 2 rounds and laying the fav. Maybe should get back to that as it is about time leaders started to falter to a greater extent. As always, remember 2 rounds sometimes is less than 50% of the round of golf if there is a tie on a Sunday. Very rarely will you get caught out on laying on the double tournament either. The number of us that madea decent killing this year I would say is minimal. Only Betfair with their exorbitant commission is laughing. But an exchange is supposed to have a winner and a loser on every bet. This means that a winner keeps reinvesting until he loses.
