Australian racing

[Naffman]

It wasn't a BF error either they actually jumped before the off time...very odd

Great to see Winx win again..but the whole day sucked for me..only success I had was scalping up 7 times successfully on Randwick & Caulfield each(such a positive change for such a crap day).I felt like AI/Mystery Trader was reversing the market every time I went on on a swing trade. Reset..bleh $10 down for the day.worst in weeks...

So good from Winx. That was a quality field and she just strolled on by like it was nothing. Absolute freak of nature.

[Derek27]

Last couple at Caulfield were quite volatile, just like UK markets.

Great to see Winx again, disappointing that she's not coming over for Royal Ascot.

I quite liked the racing this morning. Need some sleep now!

I suppose it's almost a lose lose scenario to come over to Ascot - she's meant to win and the prizemoney is a lot worse

Look what happened to Black Caviar

How do UK traders sleep at night - with markets like these down under!

It's trading heaven, where bets get matched at whatever price you ask for.

And yet I still suck at it despite it being in my timezone!’

Hate it when Betfair put your account in negative (curr. -960) even though no open positions, happens at least once a month

[Derek27]

Same here. False start for the 6:30 at Werribee and I've got a negative balance. I suspect offset liability has been removed so all your lay bets appear to have a liability even though you've closed the trades.

Ditto mate .Suck level has slowly improved from a -5 to a -3 so I take comfort in that Derek (among others) particularly inspires

When you see a market like the one in the graphic above, just place small bets on both ends of the spread and you have a good chance of getting them both matched.

You won't make much, but I take the view that if you pick up a fiver on the street, you can't really complain that it's not a tenner.

Thanks Derek.Will give it a whirl

Someone just dropped an AUD 50k bet on fave Monkey Magic at Cranbourne R7 a couple of minutes before the off.
Market volume prior was 50k. Price around 2.16, bet at 2.00.
??
Finished fast for third.
