Do they even really price most markets anymore? I thought they just used the exchanges as the natural market level? |

They still have traders. They just tweek the feeds based on how much money is posted and any particular market and sometimes just to encourage people to a new market. |

Yes. It's a massive telecomm company but it has a lot of businesses under its umbrella. |

The Exchanges aren't up to much these days on Rugby League. Liquidity is nowhere near what it used to be and there was one person who priced up the lower league games all the time but fell out with Betfair so stopped doing it. Skybet are the market leader imo (but that doesn't always mean they are right). |

| Does it really matter what odds anyone has on Trinity winning the title. Lets face it, we aren't likely to win the title 
The best thing about being written off is that this can be used as motivation for the players and staff and as the old adage goes, the game isn't played on paper and it's how well we go as a team. |

Actually you are right. Flutter bought the Stars group which owned them before.
It's still run from Leeds which is probably why they have slightly better markets on Rugby League but the income from this market is a pimple compared to Football and Racing.
SkyBet isn't massive but a decent company worth betting with (and working at). They couldn't compete on Grand National day for speed of payout and even just said they couldn't pay out till next day but Flutter might have invested more and changed that. They do well on gaming too.
It costs millions to build the infrastructure to stay up on GN day, and the Premier League Saturdays are as big these days. The Big companies like William Hill are taking 15k bets a minute at the GN peak just on the website. |
