Horse

fabulous stuff each week well done you.

You say about half was Matched compared with last year.  Why do you think such a drastic difference when every year it's exactly the same thing, that being everyone's betting on a dance competition on the telly.  So why such a drop do you think?

Cheers

I don't know LOU, it was a surprise to me how much the liquidity dropped, but it's a continuing trend in most Specials markets these days plus bookies offering less and less side markets and the ones they do being very erratic with their appearances.
The liquidity during the live shows was terrible, spreads like 14 - 29, or 5.2 - 7.8 during the shows with very little getting matched. Betfair have dropped the Bottom 2 market, rightly so, some weeks like £4 was getting matched.
The "big players", whoever they are, just don't seem interested in playing Strictly, in stark contrast though with IAC this year which was as busy as ever so not sure why such a difference with this year's liquidity trends on these two shows.

Strictly - final amounts matched:
2014 - £565,245
2015 - £878,966
2016 - £942,609
2017 - £881,566
2018 - £891,977
2019 - £454,048

Thanks horse

Yes I can't put my finger on why?  Like I said same show every year so whereas we can understand it may drop a bit but by about 50%?  No logic to that whatsoever.

Oh well I did my bit so I'm happy enough I suppose.

Cheers

Looks like there could be good liquidity this year as going back to last year on the Saturday morning of the second live show the figure was £89k matched whereas now with still two days to go till the morning of the second live show we're already up to £100k already.

It is a shorter season this year though to be fair but still encouraging.

How about this what a pathetic joke the High St Bookies are.

I saw Horse's last post about Maisie being 12/1 on the high st.  I could lay her as low as 9.6 here for about £65 and more a bit higher.

Like most of you I can't get a bet on with these bookies but thought I'd try.  I put in £200 at 12/1 with Paddy's, they offered me      42 pence!.  I then tried Unibet who offered me 72 pence.  What a fcukin joke.  Why do they advertise these prices and take nothing on them?  These are major bookies.

I ended up getting £12.52 (big deal!) at 10/1 with Unibet.

It's just ridiculous.  Who can actually get a bet on with them?

Thank you Tim, but...

The master no more. I see I've made a mistake re Fleur & Molly's prices, which have been duplicated. I don't have the correct prices for whoever is wrong, nor do I know which one is wrong

Fleur's prices are wrong. Her lowest matched was 4. Apologies.
