Liquidity Gone Overnight

[Gingertipster]

I’ve always been an early / overnight player; betting on the bigger races.
Most of the bookmakers have closed or severely limited my accounts (not what this thread is about) but that wasn’t too bad because there’s always been betfair. I don’t mind the overrounds being a little more in order to get on the ricks.

However, I’ve noticed over the last year that liquidity in betfair markets overnight has disappeared.
Taking longer and longer for me to get my bets on bit by bit… And these days they’re often at shorter odds than bookmakers are offering… And for the bets I put up on my thread that have betfair quoted prices I only put them up if the amount I’m saying to stake is available at the time of writing. But even after getting my own bets on I am now often waiting hours for the liquidity to be enough for me to advise a bet… And that’s even on a Friday night for Saturday Racing. It’s becoming very frustrating!

Has anyone else noticed the liquidity disappearing?

…And why has it happened?

Is it because the official going reports are unreliable these days and punters are waiting until after the first race?

Value Is Everything

Its horrendous now, betfair software preying on punters assuming betfair prices are always higher the night before, id imagine 90% of liqiuidity on BF is now BF laying as theyve restricted the independent layers away, as the years rolled on i was laying more than backing, but i cant get enough money in anymore to make it worthwhile….

Ive no idea how anyone does, i wrote about this previously
