Callum might have something more recent, but this was last updated about 2 years ago, I suspect the volumes have increased slightly but I suspect the trends over days and times are still a good guide

For what it's worth, I've placed a good few thousand trades since we came out of lockdown and my results are a mirror image of yours for Aug/Sept. I took a big dip during August and have come back strongly since the start of Sept. I'd be inclined to say it's variance and strategy dependent with it.

Hoping so sniffer66, should come out in the wash longterm. I'm hoping if I do this long enough and monitor it, I can define a clear plan re. money management.sniffer66 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 5:30 pmFor what it's worth, I've placed a good few thousand trades since we came out of lockdown and my results are a mirror image of yours for Aug/Sept.

Just to chip in too. My recent data shows Tuesday being a good volume day and the kind of wave pattern with volume at different hours is still present; rising till about midday, dipping and another rise heading into the evening.Kai wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 5:55 pmPerfect, thanks Dallas <3
Thank you Dallas for representing it like that. Between that and Peter's suggestion, I'll have another go at modelling with my data with some new ideas!

That looks to me as if the volume on the dogs picks up when there is less horse racing on. 1300-1800 are the main hours of uk horse racing. I think they put less dogs on during these hours to avoid clashes.
The dogs are basically fillers for the betting shop when there is no horse racing on. So volumes pick up during the hours of less racing to compete with, as shown in your graphs.
Also at night there are more dog races and usually only one or maybe two horse meetings to compete with, and I think the majority of the better class dog races are run in the evening too, which probably also attract more volume than a daytime bags race.
