Australia moves to restrict live betting
News from down under today that the government is ‘encouraging’ a ban on live betting odds during sports broadcasting in Australia. That great big stick of legislation is being waved to ensure implementation.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said it was good news for Australian families, who were becoming “increasingly frustrated” with the spruiking of live odds on their television screens.

Goodwood day two
I didn’t have high expectations for yesterday and those where met!

As you know, I am a keen market watcher and given enough races will be able to see the exact impact that this change …
Hereford 16:30
Gee, thanks Betfair. Just started trading this race when they suspended it and put it in-play. No problem usually there, but it was well before the start of the race. Obviously some head scratching went on as I was held in the market for ages with a half finished trade before, just seconds from the start, they brought the market back. What a mess, but luckily I escapted with a 80p profit in running. Phew. I hope you didn’t get …
