Australian racing

[Derek27]

I don't think any of us are fazed by our own loses, just curious about what sort of stake you're on when a trade costs you £700 on a fairly modest Australian race. Cheltenham Festival maybe but.....

I reckon even PDC would struggle to recover those losses. There's a tight limit to how much you can win on some Aussie markets but there's absolutely no limit to how much you can lose on any market.

But having said that, Rik still ended up in profit by winning more on other markets, which is what's so intriguing.

I can see Rik posting some big totals in the next few months, once he gets his eye in.

I really like his mental approach.The way the losses don't seem to faze him one little bit.

It also seemed a bit on the heavy side when he said he didn't know the markets too well, wtf sort of stake will he use when he's being serious!

And why care if favourites are winning?

rik really is an international man of mystery that's got people interested

Maybe we see the birth of a legend, Shaun .

Already offering in-play and BSP too - I wonder if UK users will be able to trade or if its just restricted to Aussies

[TipTopTrader]

Will be interesting to see what type of volume will be traded on the races.

I was not aware Betfair restrict markets to certain active countries, is there any history or current example of this?

HK I would imagine are very careful as to who they let access their markets and its specifically aimed at Aussie punters are who are using illegal Asian bookies - but I'm sure we will just a concern
