Looks like they have the traders that are making it there mission to close races well before the off.. If your like me who likes to see the horses load in the gate good luck, they suspend it before at there discretion. If you like to buy and sell to get out of positions, good luck. Or if a horse acts up in the gate or a scratch takes place, they suspend markets without reopening in some cases 5-10 minutes before the off time. If you ask them they will tell you your feed is slow. The liquidity is markedly lower as per the last month or so. Anyway good luck predicting how early they will close the race before the off today.

Races closed early. Last race at woodbine, 25 secs before post time! Good luck bettors on US racing, as the traders would say.
Report Razor68 July 19, 2015 7:18 PM BST
I am getting stuck with way to many bets. US races are closed always minutes before. best you get is 30 seconds to post. IF this continues im going to the commission to explain this mickey mouse crap betfair traders are doing. Getting bettors stuck in positions is not at all about a proper exchange. Its like closing the stock market at 3:30 and saying oh well ** everyone.

Del5 horses were all loaded when the #7 broke through so all horses were pulled out of the gate & subsequently reloaded

2 weeks ago I checked out the live video feed for keeneland versus the ATR pictures. keeneland was between 30-40 seconds faster on live video .

I think betfair have a faster feed for suspending markets for other tracks but can't show them at the moment on live video .

Report Thebas October 19, 2015 4:56 AM BST
did you travel to the USA Razor  .. or Canada ?

if not .. then the feed they get at the local tracks will be the same feed I guess as we get here on BF (which is the same timelag as they provide thru ESPN internet - which I have tested)

the issue imo is the inconsistent closure timing ... no one knows just when it will happen

that is why I investigated for over 7 weeks to identify a time "zone" (2-5 mins) where it has proven more profitable than waiting till the jump/closure to get your bets on (not always of course as one drifted alarmingly late today so I ended up with a lower price than BSP - but still higher than the price I assessed the horse at prior to the race)

to suggest shutting up shop like you have done repeatedly for near 2 months now .. is defeatist alarmist & extremist imo

adjust or move on ... like you suggested you will do & which 12JH did to a "tote based op" where he says he gets rebates also

its a tough game the punt ...  so all the best to all
