The European flat racing season comes to its natural conclusion in this messed up hell of a year. The queen of the turf, Enable, goes for an historic third win but it has been wet and cold all week in Paris, making it a tough old slog in deep ground. There won't be much of a crowd there to 'bring the house down' if she wins, in front of no more than 1000 paying spectators, but the racing world will be tuning in across the globe. =============================================== Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe ParisLongchamp, 1605 local, 1505 BST, 0005 Monday Sydney time. 2400m, Group 1 Weight-for-Age, (no geldings) Approx €3m.

Hi Scott,
ReplyDeletenice to see your profit in the winner market. I really love biathlon, too!
Today I was not able to trade this race, but tomorrow and on Sunday I will have a look at these races again.
I have never tried the matchups before. Liquidity is not very good, isn't it?
Cheers, Loocie
Hi Loocie,
ReplyDeleteYou're right there's not much liquidity in the matchups, but that can be the best part. Put up a half decent price (say 108% like a regular bookie) and you are likely to see some action. You are in control of how much you are risking. Take a look at other bookies for an idea of prices. I only dabble in those markets for fivers and tenners so can't do much harm. Unfortunately I got interrupted just before the start of the race so I wasn't able to tidy up some positions that I could have.
