Recieved it

There are some articles not this one on the proffessional punters diary,
That may interest some regarding overseas bookie William Hill.

I didn't realize I had such an impact

I have abandoned AUS markets completely in protest.
I used to have bets in every race including the trots, so turnover wise, I wouldn't say my contribution was small, although profit was.

As Mark indicated, traders and market makers will not worry one bit, but it becomes totally uncompetitive with Best Tote on the types of horses I back and for backers or layers of single horses.

It has even had an impact on those horses under $10, not just first and second favourites.

So I have moved my betting to UK and USA and have taken up AUS sports betting so my commission remains without the levy

I was just joking about my impact, my contribution is probably very small by average standards, but if I've done it, surely the bigger bettors will or have moved on, because of the greater impact on the profit.
It's only a matter of time.

Now to the bigger picture.
As a precedent has been set, what's to stop the AFL, or any other sport demanding a levy to publish the games and bet on them.
The AFL gets the turnover levy and is distributed to clubs after a percentage for the administrators and regulators of the sport?

Been fiddling around with USA markets just recently myself CP, but what I can't figure out is how do you know when they're gonna jump? Is there any way we can get current knowledge?

Found a website that streams but of course it has the dreaded delay factor.

A couple of days ago. Indiana was jumping up to 5 minutes ahead of schedule. It does your head in!

Yes, Indiana often jump well before advertised start time, a few days ago it was at least 20 mins prior to schedule for each race!
I generally use Betfair live streaming (flash version) and as soon as they start loading the first horse into the actual barrier, you know they'll jump in seconds.
They say the delay is 15 seconds, but depending I think it gets up to at least 30 seconds at times.
Sometimes I've been caught out with a large field not one horse loaded and they're off, so I actually think the delay varies up to 60 seconds depending on the track.
I usually stick to first horse in, they're about to fly the gates.

Many thanks for that tip CP, I'll give it a whirl.

Pimlico is the offending venue this morning. Grrr!
