WC and/or the price of the market leaders? Generally I'd assume 6 races with 8/1 favs would have a lower turnover than 6 with hot shorties?

Competetiveness must be a factor when attracting punters, c/w the larger figures traders put through on the shorties. I'm not sure how'd I'd measure it.

But yes, turnover is down, the bods at BF can try and figure out why and I'm sure a nervous sales manager will be explaing that it's actually up relative to the 'shortie effect'.

Thought it would be quite a bit down today

When you look back so far this year is about on par with 2010 (world cup in South Africa with matches in mid-afternoon UK time)

It wasn't as bad in 2014 when the matches started in the evening UK time
