Sends you a link to download a pdf. Fwiw he makes Gala Marceau (MH) his main antepost selection.Originally posted by OverTheLast View PostComment

‘Novice exchange query’ Is there a reason why the graph shows the price being pushed out around the time of that 600 value?Originally posted by Exar Essay View Post
Total Betfair noob but I’d expect a bet like that to tighten the price not make it be pushed outComment

It's actually that the graph isn't accurate enough to truly show this. The bid actually aligns with the contracting price. The subsequent rise was caused by the pennies placed afterwards. I was trying to offload some at 5.8-6.0 and was matched by the big bid so remember well the direction of price action.Originally posted by HesTheOne View PostComment

I always see JTF as more of Paul's opinion of horses; often very well informed but an opinion nonetheless. Also quite heavily British biased in respect of contributors. He tends to tour the best yards tin the UK, but I don't think he really ventures to Irish yards. So his info is a little lacking there; at least that's how I tend to find. I rate his opinion on British horses highly.Originally posted by HesTheOne View Post
What you think so far? Had a good read through there today nothing ground breaking on 1st inspection.. He must be short of connections to Cloustton
they don't really feature apart from what's obviously in public domain.
Will sit down properly with it tonight again - likely missed some 2nd reading nuggets
OJA tends to have more information in respect of targets and uncovering new purchases etc.Comment

Think you can read that IEP Turners exchange move either way to be honest. Someone has come on with a decent bet but equally someone was willing to lay it to a reasonable liability compared to the rest of the market!
The Champion Hurdle drift supports the theory he's going Turners like. And Constitution Hill staying hurdling will probably push some over fences, so it does make sense. But in terms of pure exchange move on the Turners market it's worth pointing out the obvious maybe.Comment

Im sure our man Billy would be coming on if he heard a recent update as to regards a change! I'd say hes still heading champ hdle ladsComment

For info, 600 traded equals 300 laid and 300 backed.
Total staked on IEP for Turners is 2,250, which os 1,125 backed…Comment

That's first point is not possible unless it's an even money shot? I don't think that's accurate but I'll advance when the kids are asleepOriginally posted by Istabraq View Post

The total traded is sterling value regardless of price.Originally posted by Benjy23 View Post

300 backed at 6/1 and 300 laid at 6/1 is still 600 traded, the potential gain/loss is irrelevant.
At least that’s how i have always understood it, happy to educated if that’s not the case…Comment

You're correct that 600 traded is representative of a 300 back bet. The traded values and stakes are always represented by 'backs'. My point was that, using 6/1 as the price, whoever is on the lay side of that has tied up 1.8k. Which given the relative low values being traded at the moment is a fairly substantial lay compared to others available in that market. I appreciate it's potentially more than one person but the point remains the same regarding comparisons with the rest of the values available in the market.
They'd probably be more likely to fall asleep if I talked to them about the exchange actually.

An easy and definitive example. I hope you can excuse use of values here but easier to explain than using points:
There is a horse which had no bets on at all. I have just bet 5 pounds on said horse at 85.0. The ‘total matched on this selection’ is now 10 pound.Comment
