I'm in broad agreement with that. Unless you have an specific edge I don't see where you will get it in-play.oscar123 wrote:Pre race, or pre event trading doesnt seem to be as popular as it once was loooking around. Everyone seems to be obsessed with in running and back to lay etc. Which is strange, as you would have thought that pre race trading is about as level a playing field as you can get, ive never understood the obsession with in running, unless you are the man with the fastest pictures.
I actually think that Betfair are pinning the hopes of the exchange on inplay. If you think about it, if they let somebody get away with murder in play they get 60% of it. If they make the markets fairer not only will that money be more equally distributed but it will be easier for competitors to copy it and seed their own markets. If Betfair ensure the field is very unlevel they will most likely keep the liquidity inplay. But that more or less dictates that you will never be able to make money on it. It also leads to the situation where Betfair have a vested interest in ensure the vast majority or in-play punters are net losers.
