I can't confirm it. But I have heard they are here, at least on trial.

I am not sure about this. Some of these are just going to get crap all liquidity. They will work on weeks when there is not a lot else. This week you have 6 main tour events, and at least this 1 challenger all being played at similar hours. That is leaving liquidity being spread very thin.

It's just too much. This week you've got 6 main tour events, Hopman Cup and 2 challengers. How many people will really find time to bet on the challengers?

You also have tennis pretty much 24 hours a day on Betfair this week. Definitely early days in the week, not sure if there will be anytime in the day where a match isn't in play.

Agreed, there's a clear market for them on quieter weeks, the streams are often better quality than the main tour ones but it's pointless on a week like this.

the plan is apparently that they'll be here all year

as had been said repeatedly, for second tier markets (including qualies), it is likely that betfair would get the most commission from running a handful concurrently at any one time in the absence of any main draw tennis.

it's interesting that the apparent integrity concerns have now been allayed, I suspect the motivation here is to offer markets offered by other bookmakers rather than anything else.

DStyle, you mentioned something about real time scores in your thread about challengers on bf. Do you have any further details on that?

Maybe if you started posting match posts instead of muntering on using the same post you'd encourage liquidity, but it seems most people would prefer to natter about nothing much rather than make money on here.

geez, move on and let it go. It's long due. Let's all be nice to each other and act mature, shall we?

Day 1......

1.01 GOOOBERNATED

almost Half a million matched

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

IS THIS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE?

They work well when nothing else is on. It is perhaps not up to in play mongrels like myself to ask they their availability is optimised for liquidity and therefore optimised for me.

They'll work well sometimes, less so others, just like qualies.

this match has been a nice one, kosakowski losing 12th time in the 1st round this year (out of 13 tournaments entered)
but the BF live scoring still has some bugs to fix

Most important of all, no bots operating the CH-markets yet.

these aren't the integrity concerns you're looking for
