When you consider that 2 seconds is around 12 lengths then anyone trading in run is wasting their time unless they are prepared to invest the ~ $350 month to get the commercial feed. All of the serious in run traders that I know use it for obvious reasons. If you don't have that need and/or don't ever bet in the run then its a moot point.

Hope that helps.




Had a muck around with 'in-play' a while back & while I wasnt aware that there was so much of a delay (2sec is an eternity in racing terms), it did appear that there was something not right about it all.

Bit of an eye opener for anyone betting in-play I would have thought.
