If you want to play British racing, it's pretty cool. American racing, pretty dysfunctional.

actually Betfair almost never shuts off betting before the off in my year on the exchange.
what happens is that racing from the minor signals TVG is a lot of time on a delay. Race goes off and TVG is showing a post parade from NYRA/callie track. Meanwhile Woodbine/Monmouth are off. and TVG shows the race in question on tape delay.
My handle is pretty high, mostly betting horses to lose, I almost never take the price offered unless the book is 97-98%.
Exchange wagering is an acquired taste and takes a LOT of work. and I mean a LOT.
100% not for the novice or beginning bettor.
and to be able to make some nice money the learning curve is high.
I had an advantage as I was thoroughly familiar with the ins and outs of the X before it started in Jersey.
