Flat i/r

[mak]

Does anyone play flat in running markets?
Everything i am trying in flat markets, it is useless.
Anyone here that have an opinion about it?
There is so much differences in the flat markets compared to last year.

I've given up with horse racing in-running markets. Great shame as I made a lot of money a couple of years ago. A combination of thieving Betfair and poor liquidy has made the volatility unacceptable. Hopefully it may return but I'm not holding my breath.

Betfair are determined to marginalise their exchange because I think they believe (erroneously) they can make more money as a straightforward bookmaker. They are run by a bunch of twats who can't recognise how they are looking a gift horse in the mouth. They'll only realise the error of their ways when its too late.

you are right Doris, regarding betfair.I really hope to realize their errors earlier.

however, regarding flat markets i believe that mostly the problem

1. is fast pictures - (i don't watch, but i am reading that there are many delays problems)

2. i/r players at the field - (probably there are more?)

3. economic crisis (players are now more selective and careful)

4. the new betting lows in many European countries, -banned betfair-

I would like to have a feedback form other players here, which are trade manually or with bots mainly to see if this just me or not...

Since the time i post this i have found something new which looks promising but it is very early to say it...
