Don't suppose anybody has any data on market volumes for each of these sports over the years? Would be interesting to see quickly how each sport has grown on the exchange over time and where more people are recently venturing to.

Happy 6 month anniversary to Kafkaesque and Shaun's sister too.

I believe LinusP made a statistic but it doesnt include the last few years since they changed the data format.
Football volume has been flat for many years AFAIR, Cricket is growing. Horses slightly growing (?).

I'm sure that will have been a genuine mistake, I've definitely seen him credit you in videos / blogs in the past where he's used or expanded on your work just as he does for contributions from others when applicable

I think I voted Horse racing pre when this was first out.

However, I should really have added 'other' for enjoyment, though limited opportunities, but I love specials betting (TV events).

Eurovision, I'm a Celebrity, etc, have to admit great fun and often profitable.

I realise that may not strictly (no pun intended) be seen as a 'sport', however the markets are often pretty decent in those events, so may as well be a sport in terms of fun and profits!
