Another Betfair shambles
Sorry to hear that Squirtle, I got stung over 1k last time so I know what it's like, luckily this time I had already finished my trade.
All the back up laptops and broadband's can't help when betfair goes down.
But don't worry betfair always win

I was playing around with the US horse racing last night.
Obviously I use smaller stakes because of the liquidity. Trading the US Racing is more like chess but the slow speed can really help understand how spoof money effects the market etc.
Anyway thats not the point of my post. I had a healthy profit for my stakes after 16 out of 16 profitable races. Then one of the races suspends 3 minutes before the advertised start whilst I have an open back trade in the market.
Even though I was trading the odds-on favourite sods law made sure it wouldnt win and I would wipe out all my hard work.
Very annoying!

Thanks Jimmy!
I've been looking for something like this but with no joy.
I'm just looking if you can sign up and get more than 30 mins + 30 mins.

Hi,
Yeah I tried to sign up, but unless you live in the USA they wont let you. I've tried oferring to pay a monthly subscription etc but I don't get a reply.
I don't do the USA racing anymore, but when I first started thats all I did and I used to have quite a few different video sites. Here is another one you used to get 30 days free video not sure now.? You have to sign up and live in the usa but at the time You could just make up an address but I am not sure now.
