maybe a good suggestion for a future release?, to have prize money displayed somewhere next to the Course Date, Time & Race Type?

If you're talking about data from the API, Betfair don't supply the prize money data in the metadata, if you're talking about patternform I'll get my coat.

That market at York felt strange

4:35 was the best scalping market of the day by a mile

Did anything happen on course to cause this drift?
4 out to 6.8 very fast

That's exactly what I found - I won back all the money I lost scalping at York!

[Korattt]

generally don’t really like weeks with the bigger feature meetings like Goodwood, York, Cheltenham et al, I like to have a steady week where the money is (I think) spread out evenly across the cards, at my level there seems to be fewer opportunities with the attention aimed at one meeting,

I do realise that there are opportunities there that present themselves, it’s just that I can’t read them at the moment, I have an idea as to where they are but I’m not that confident reading in between the lines (so to speak) or pulling those triggers.. (yet), which is a bit frustrating but I know it'll come in time, if I could work out how to strip away the wheat from the chaff on those markets I can’t read at the moment I’d be made up

What kind of markets are your bread and butter Korratt? Personally I prefer to focus on the markets I perform well in and leave the rest, everyone has their own strengths and if you don't perform well at the big meetings then no big deal I say. Focus on what you're good at, not at what you aren't.

I hear what you’re saying Greco & I agree, but I always look to better myself & broaden my horizons so to speak, I seem to pick off good results with the slow & steady markets, those jumpy ones must have a method or a strategy, it’s just that I can’t read them as of yet.

anyone knows if the market book percentage is of any use for pre off horse trading? I already know that the market will move against one another and the horse market is efficient enough to do that simultaneously.

The market book percentages have the same meaning pre and post off and are always important.

what does it indicates? the lay side wont drop below 97% and back side wont go above 102% because the market is very efficient.

If I find myself getting involved with the noisy markets, I'll always try and have some speculative closing trades quite a way from the current price. Those spikes go both ways, and I might as well benefit from half of them instead of just getting my arse kicked by the 'wrong' ones. It takes a bit of management adjusting their size and position but it keeps you busy. That reminds me, I've got a half finished 'spikebot' getting dusty somewhere.

With 10,000 races a year, understanding Brownian motion* is low on my list

* The erratic random movement of microscopic particles in a fluid, as a result of continuous bombardment from molecules of the surrounding medium.

Massive laying on magic mirror looked very dodgy. 12s out to 60
chunks of £300 kept laying
