Just wondered how many members are paying for a RUK subscription?

I'd guess it'll be a very high percentage for the winning horseracing traders. At the end of the day I'm sure some can survive with the Betfair Live feeds but it's a small price to pay for continuous pictures.

+1

It's a great channel too and their profits go back into racing so we should support them. It's also slightly faster (via Sky satellite) than BLV and much more reliable.

I'm really enjoying the Irish racing now it's on RTV.

Anyone know how to join RUK without a UK address?

I've never subscribed to the channel and thought I'd have to now they have a near monopoly, but the recent criticism and contempt they have shown for their viewers have made me think again.

As a trader, I only really need to know when a race is about to start, and with the sheer number of meetings they're covering I'd be lucky to get much notice, if any at all.

If you're talking about an Android app could you post a link to the Google play store?

I've had a look but can't find it.

You can buy a 'Gift' off eBay for a few quid plus an Openbox for not much and you get both SSR and RTV via Sky. I was told about it by a fellow forum member and I have since found out several others on here use this method.

You seem to be trading pretty much 24/7 yet aren't prepared to fork out a fiver a week :o Prices move all the while simply because of what's happening on screen, horses bolting/playing up none of which you're likely to see on the betfair feed. Even to simply free up your PC from the BF feed must be worth a fiver a week for a full timer.

I have to agree with SB - sometimes you have to spend money to make money and this would definitely be one of those cases. The pictures pay for themselves (even at full price) many times over during the course of the year. I wouldn't trade without them.

It didn't come off but the 4:10pm at Stratford was a perfect example of why pictures are so key. The original favourite was showing no interest in moving when RTV switched their pictures to it, my quick reactions and the slight speed over BF LV in the pictures let me lay a large amount at around 4.0 before most people clocked it, had I been relying on the BFLV the price would have gone most likely, SSR it is the other way around, BFLV is faster. The price shot out like crazy within a few seconds and I just sat and closed out at various prices around 5.2 for a healthy 3 figure green.

Unfortunately the horse was Withdrawn but had it run that would have been a lovely green just thanks to having the pictures. Over the course of the year you get several such occurrences especially on the flat from horses playing up.

Pictures pay for themselves many times over.

Could be another one in the 1640 if this 4 Get Up Them Steps runs.
