The times they are a joke

[RideTheLightning]

How many races are people able to trade today because of the racing schedule? Surely Betfair's and bookmakers' turnover are down when there are so many long distance races crammed together

[Euler]

It's not helpful for sure!

[oddstrader]

totals matched per race are less than quiet mondays

[hgodden]

Its been like that early on during saturdays recently. Should pick up a bit later hopefully

£250k on the 16:35 at Kempton? That's worse than a Monday?!?!

[jimrobo]

clashed with gowran? didn;t expect that much of an impact though

[Euler]

Both went off at the same time but you would expect Kempton to have preference. The Gowran race wasn't a particularly good one. Very odd.

Seems on the face of it to happen quite a lot when an irish race is on ATR it will take away from the following race 5 minutes later, even if its on RUK

[jimrobo]

been an awful day in general for me for a saturday.

[hgodden]

I've had a pretty poor one if its any consolation. Spring is coming so should pick up, especially once the football season is over

[jimrobo]

usually on a saturday I pretty much go on autopilot but today felt like I was fighting the market all day

Quite a few people I guess wouldn't have RUK due to the subscription - hardly been value for money this winter for the general viewer imo, so maybe they punt on the ATR tracks which is free to view. Or was Gowran just like normal with no extra money?

Found today half decent to be honest - made a change to not have a meeting called off.
