jamee...

i noticed a while back the 1.01 20k bloke (who always got in first) dropped to 10k...

and it's been a while since i saw one go in 'immediately'...

now they know you are monitoring them i suggest they have decided to just play in running with their 'advantage' coz it's easier to hide their advantage...

in saying all that 1.014 secs is still probably 'getting in first' but it's less obvious than 0.3 or 0.5 secs...

i know what i've seen in the past...

and as i always say...

why have they never cut the '1 sec delay' ?

they said years ago they were looking at it yet nowt happened...

why not ?

btw the 1.01 pink side 20k bloke (who got in in the blink of an eye) reduced to 10k after a fair amount of chat on here...

they might say they don't read the forum...

it's all bull$h1t of course.

jamee...

a Q for you...

how many times has your response time been 1014ms ?

NEVER for me...

best i've ever had is 1082ms...

68ms is a long time if you ask me.

Bots will be virtually instant. Press a button and they will trigger the moment they detect the market has reopened.

There is an approx refresh rate of up to 100ms on my automation so will only be accurate to +/- 0.1s either way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as in 0.3 secs ?

as in 0.5 secs ?

i know the difference between 0.3secs and 1.014 secs jamee...

i'm not having a go at you when i say that...

i'm just saying i know what i've seen in the past (and i ain't the only one)...

like i say it looks to me like whenever there is a bit of chit chat about photo betting and not having the 1 sec in running delay then things go quiet for a while...

and like i also say it's easier to hide it during the actual race as opposed to when a market re-opens for a photo.

More like 0.00-0.02 ish. There's no human delay as the bot can be set during suspension. As soon as the bot detects the market has reopened the trade will be triggered.

It will be interesting to compare with my data next time someone claims they saw the delay beaten in a photo.

but it should still be subjected to the '1 sec in running delay' delay jamee right ?
By:

and in reality the '1 sec in running delay' is more like 1100ms (well it is for me at least)...

yet jamee has detected one at 1014ms...

alot can happen in 86ms imv.

You could expect a bot triggered trade to hit the market as quickly as 1.01 to 1.02 secs after the market reopens for a photo.

As i said, my timing could be 0.1s out either way so you can't read too much into the 100th secs.

You're right Hibby. I've been testing various in-play markets this evening and it takes about 100ms for an order to be processed and appear in the market. This seems to be in addition to the set in-play delay, so you would expect an in-play horse race trade to take about 1.1 secs to appear.
By:
HappyHibby
When: 03 Apr 25 06:50
so how did the one you detected beat the system by 86ms jamee ?

might not sound a lot but it is imv...

a Q for you jamee...

if you had an in-built advantage how much of an advantage would you want ?

a HUGE one which makes it obvious you have a HUGE advantage ?

or a small one which makes it more difficult to spot ?

and at the end of the day it adds up to the same thing...

you are FIRST in the queue.

small advantage for photos (makes it hard to spot)...

big advantage for normal in play (pretty much impossible to spot)...

as Mr.Hunt would say...

I've said several times that my timing could be out by 0.1 secs either way. My data is only accurate enough to establish whether people are able to bypass the whole delay for a photo finish. 

But thinking about how Betfair batch and queue orders, it's conceivable that from the standing start of a market unsuspending those using VPS geographically close the Betfair servers might get processed first, thus minimising their process time. I know Bet Angel VPS is based as close as possible to Betfair servers for example.

Without the one second delay except for BF there would be no horse racing In Running as BF would be picked off.
The in running liquidity is paper thin except for the bigger meetings.It really is as simple as that UnhappyHibby

why have they never cut the '1 sec delay' ?

why not ?


years ago betfair started a thread asking for opinions from users about removing the 1 second delay . about 95% of people were in favour . they then dropped the idea. i asked someone at betfair why they didn't go ahead and remove it since that is what most people want  and there reply was along the lines of "the market makers do not want it removed . no market makers no liquidity"

The delay is clearly for the benefit of BF.
There is a 5 second delay I/R on Snooker with pitiful liquidity.
Any bets submitted are spotted and offers disappear before getting matched.

Hulk,I have known it for years.However,BF are running a business not a charity.
The facts are,most of the In Runners have been carried via PC and the minnows being swallowed by the sharks.
