@Alan-Steward I've stolen your basic template as it seems to do everything I need it to do for the time being. Thanks. Now to start recording.

Did you use £2 stakes on all lays? Or higher?
Usually £10 stakes
That's interesting as I know smaller stakes can sometimes get matched quicker... It's happened before when I've been trading side by side with my boy... Just one of those things and it is what it is.
-
@pete-smith Yes mate ok only had £2 on though but made up for my losses on the greyhounds this morning.
-
@james-everard The odds on Vivace were 12.5 just before the start, must have been a pretty nice result for you!
-
@ichard-latimer I bloody cocked up lol, I laid the field at 1.84 but forgot to keep inplay I was having dinner at the time. Good news was though i also backed Vivace on the bl2 strategy and again forgot to go inplay but it bloody won which more than made up for it!
-
@alan-steward I do use smaller stakes at Tampa Bay as I have had varied success using LTF there, but Will Rogers seems a bit more consistent. Not sure whether it's that the dirt track makes a difference, maybe the horses prefer it?

@alan-steward This was a straight LTF using the Betfair website, but I usually use the Geeks Toy software.
Interesting, I guess it's always a fine line at times and we don't always get matched as it depends on who's may have been queued first and how much back stakes they required from the lay side

@alan-steward It was a live trade Alan. I think it was no.9 Vivace came from nowhere and there was about half a length in it so only just got matched. Not sure if the API on different software or broadband speed would affect this, I'm sure someone more technical would know?
Pete, are you using software or manually trading on Betfair?

Tell me about it. I did 2.02 and got 2. 2.06 was another. Could have been 4 matched haha!
Hindsight... 2.06 wouldn't have been much more liability, but where do you draw the line? I've had a few good results at 2.04 not so much at 1.86 though.
-
I went in @ 2.04 & only got 2 matched... My software showed lowest traded price to be 2.0 which is strange as it's generally 1.01... Sorry my software did record lowest at 1.01, then 2.0 then 2.06
@Pete-Smith Did you do live trades, simulation or manual on Betfair... Interesting that you got 3 matched... Well done
-
The 22.15 looks like it could be about right if A Fast Broad's price go's out a bit, will look nearer the time.
