That means Peter was matching 100,000 per hour, or approximately 30 matches per second sustained over 5 hours. If those are matches, how many unmatched bets did he place? Also is he self-matching at all to get those numbers?
No wonder Betfair servers are struggling at this time. It’s Peter bringing it down!
Any idea what his take/offer ratio was in that half million in an afternoon?
I must say, that’s pretty impressive. Is 100% of that through BetAngel software then?Euler wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 9:07 pm50 races, 10k a race isn't a huge amount.
Betfair was reluctant to give me any information on my activity, but when I started trading seriously on Betdaq I asked them to check my account to see if I was aggressively taking prices or adding liquidity to their exchange. On average I offered 85% of my positions to the market. I haven't gone through that exercise recently, but I'd say if you offer you benefit from the spread as well as any net positive strategy you have found, so that's why I do it.
How much of that is manual trading (with servants) vs using pure BetAngel automation? Even with servants I struggle to see how you can maintain 30 bets matched a second for 5 hours. So I’m guessing the majority is BetAngel automation?
