I have been wondering are there any vulnerabilities in non high profile games outside the top european leagues where betfair may be slacking off in keeping the feed delay as short as possible.

The ticket costs 30 dollars in local currency (around £6), on top of having to drive to the stadium.

I had my mobile in my palm at all time and befair app signed in, my thumb was on the bet confirmation dialog button, all i need is a light push to fire the bets.

But it didnt work. :( The moment a goal goes in, market was suspended within 3 seconds. The 5 seconds bet placement delay really killed it.

I dont understand how betfair get their feed so quickly, because satelite tv live stream is at least 12 seconds delayed.

Nice try.

Maybe back a side who gets a free kick, just outside the box.

(If mkt is liquid enough)

That little kid in red is probably employed to do the Betfair feed :lol:

Basically the service providing the data also has someone at the match. Here's a post about the data providers
