Peter Webb – Betfair trading video blog – Seasonality in horse racing markets
In the horse racing markets seasonality can play quite a hand in how many markets you can trade and how you trade them.
During the national hunt ‘the jumps’ season. The markets can prove less favourable and harder to trade. It’s easy to get annoyed / upset / stressed and make stupid mistakes if you fail to recognise how different these markets can act.
Still perfectly possible to trade them, but you need to be aware of the differences and focus your attention on key periods during the year. All sports exhibit similar cycles.
