£26k matched at punchestown 6.30 minutes out. Is it all down to liquidity?

I know the money tends to come late. i=Is that to do with gaps to the UK offering?

Irish markets do about 1/2 of UK volume. The Irish betting market is much smaller than the UK.

Cheers. So, that, of itself, makes them more volatile?

Less money in a market means that prices are not so 'sticky', so it's easier for any money to move them.
