Sorry forgot Betfair has 2 others from midnight. Maybe because Sportsbook people have gone to bed by then.

This is why I was hoping we might have got Santa Anita and Churchill Downs - at least why we were waiting for the usual tracks to come back online. Such a shame :(

I think they want the business on their Sportsbook jamee. This is what we're up against on here and if Purple can increase their liquidity then that must be the way for exchange punters to go. This company now care little for the exchange and the fact that all of those other tracks are no longer on here tells you all you need to know.

Can you tell me why less than half of these markets are covered in Betfair? What about a market for the rest on BF?

On ****, they have the following US race tracks on their exchange:
Churchill Downs (16th May 2020)
Golden Gate Fields (16th May 2020)
Gulfstream Park (16th May 2020)
Los Alamitos (16th May 2020)
Santa Anita (16th May 2020)
Tampa Bay Downs (16th May 2020)

How come there's only Tampa Bay on Betfair?

Hi there, I do apologize however we cannot comment on business decisions of other companies however this would relevant to a trading decision - Mathias

7:25 PM
Was merely curious as to why they being an Exchange also are able to offer these but yet Betfair is not?

7:33 PM
Apologies but not all companies would have the same products offered - Mathias

As you probably know wesdag all of those meetings were once covered by betfair but as was said earlier they probably want people to back those races on their Sportsbook rubbish. Tomorrow night we seem to have nothing other than that Remington quarter horse dross at midnight. I shall be trying purple tomorrow for the first time as I don't do bookmaker betting.

Can you watch these on a purple video?

Usually lots on Betfair during summer months - obv corona has flattened that...

There are contractual reasons why some tracks are not offered on the exchange - I have been on here betting US over a decade and some of those tracks have never been on while I have been here.

Up until a few years ago - only Aqueduct went in running - they used it as a trial - it worked - now we have quite a few...

Eventually.........

So troll to see so many meetings on their pathetic Sportsbook, cant bring myself to use it out of principal, evens about 2/1 shots etc, theyre shameless.

Opened a purple account this week due to betfair's lack of interest in US racing.
