Currently during in running your bets will be placed with a delay if there are bets in the market to match you or else your bets will be placed immediately with no delay. This will be confusing to people moving over from Betfair. This allows a bot that is currently being run in certain markets during in running Betdaq matches to compare the price you offer versus the prices in Betfair and checks if it can offer a slightly better price than you yet lower than Betfair’s. There may be many bots appearing soon on Betdaq because bets can be immediately placed during in running at certain prices.

There is also currently no keep bets facility on Betdaq for manual players. You have to re submit your bets when the race is turned in-play. But you can perform a Betfair type ‘keep bet’ if you use the API. Interestingly, you can use expiry time as well, so if you use the API you can keep a bet for the first 30 seconds of the race.

Liquidity on in running for most markets isn’t great right now, but Betdaq’s matching delay for non bot clients isn’t helping much. I’ll do my little bit to help shortly. A bot? Of course!

On a final note you can now see the liquidity increasing pre race in the example above. Great news.

Ladies and gents, have a great day and good luck to you, as always.
