@alan-steward Tried just dabbling with mini stakes a bit of scalping but like you say it is like putting pins in your eyes. There appears to be a very slow movement of odds not sure why though ? I have seen other markets ie greyhounds with less liquity that are much more volatile , maybe because greyhounds 90% of the money in the market comes in the last two mins. The Usa markets don't always have 100k matched but the odds seem to move much more frequently. Be interested to know if it is purely the liquidity?
-
Well the German horse racing market looks like it needs a lot more liquidity... Some got up to around 50k matched but movement of odds looked real slooooooooooow lol, if thats down to liquidity then I think we'd need to be over 100k rather than the minimum 50k @Martin-Futter has mentioned... Anybody else any thoughts from the German meeting?
-
@richard-latimer Half decent looking spreadsheet...
-
@martin-futter I've added spreadsheet for LTF to signature. Only 3 days of results right now but I'll keep updating and I'll keep it in signature.
Going to try and track some of the ideas for minor tweaks I've been having too but it's all manual and like @Alan-Steward said, very time consuming.
-
@richard-latimer can you tag me when you upload the sheet? would like to see that!

I see on Betfair that German Horse racing starts up again this afternoon. I doubt it is a country that will generate much liquidity but may do as it is on at peak time something to keep an eye on and it looks like the races are going in play
Yesterday it said they weren't going inplay and the one at 13:00 has just suspended so don't think reliable. Also only 20k matched.
That's strange when you look on the Betfair website it has a tick for going inplay. But like you say no money in the markets the 13.30pm only has just over a £1k not worth it

Anyone considering the 21:45? I know its only 8 runners but has 5 with odds less than 10.0
Hi Mate not sure i don't think it would. But saying that there is no favourite and now 5 at 10.0 or below
Yeah mate I'm seeing a couple of prices flickering below 4.0, initially when I posted that it looked alright bar only 8 runners but as we know, things can change fast lol
Did it work? I had stuff to do.
Odds fell nearer the start so I left it and just watched it on the in play trader and it looked like 3 would have matched at 1.81
-
Tracking the 2.02 and the 2.04 price on LTF. First 3 days is clearly a win for the 2.04. We'll see how it goes from now.
I'll put the spreadsheet up tomorrow.
-
Okay 22:15 didn't qualify in the end and only 2 matched in simulation mode... Won't be trading the other meeting so I'll see you all later
-
I see there's horse racing in Germany tomorrow... Be interesting to see what the liquidity/quality is like... Need to get my new bot sorted asap... Can't keep watching all these races lol

Cool, is it a Poisson file mate? That's what I'm trying to get hold of, I've seen one online where you copy the data after each set of fixtures and it updates the Poisson for you so you don't have to manually type it in each timeSorry mate, I've no idea what a Poisson file is lol

@dan-erridge Yeah £25 for a fairly simple file, more for more complex... Could have written what he did now but not then

No not seen that one mate, must be honest im not the best with computers so tend to keep it quite basic with automation, hows your data from proform going mate? you got a guy to write you somthing didnt you?
Know the feeling my tech skills have a lot to be desired ! Better than i was a couple of years ago, but a lot of the more technical stuff goes straight over my head. Anyway trumpet time

@alan-steward
Football mate? interesting is that like a poisson file? He charged you £25 for each file?
