    Betfair liquidity gone ?

    Anyone has any idea what is the reason , since somewhere september liquidity on sports like basketball, volleyball and other non soccer sports gone almost to 0?

    First major drop was 2 years ago when they blocked accounts and agents. then asian markets suffered most.

    since 2 months there almost no players, except on Euroleague. even on some markets there are no more bots.

    With other words its impossible to trade anything ...

    They are losing a lot of costumers, it is getting almost impossible to bet with them on brokers, bad strategy

    Horse racing markets still seem ok. It's a shame what has happen to that company since going public then instituting premium charge then merging with Paddy. They were once revolutionary and the liquidity was amazing in their heyday.

    They always have all BC races both days. I'm not 100% sure, but I seem recall the non BC undercard races being offered as well.

    Back in the day, they used to offer pretty much any USA track as they pleased.

    Upon buying TVG in 2009, I think some of tracks threatened to cut their signals to TVG if BF continued to offer those tracks on their exchange. There may be some others, but 2 groups that threatened were the Stronach Group and CDI who have under their umbrellas such tracks such as GP, CD, SA, GG, LRL and AP.

    They always have the BC races though even if it is at one of those tracks.

    BC race markets are already up. Looks like just the actual BC races and not the lesser races on the cards.

    Betfair concentrates more on the book side way more money in it

    The Classic overround is 112.2%. Turf is 110.2%. Not huge liquidity but decent on some horses.
