Liquidity data for Horse Racing

Feature Request Horse Racing Won't Fix 🎖️ 1 Founder vote Aug 06, 2026 · hillzer · 🥵 15 aura

Any chance of adding matched amout per race, per horse, lay odds and so on in horse racing on Betfair?

Resolution: Needs an exchange order book; the racing feed has none. It serves SP indications only (fractionalOdds="SP", decimalOdds=0) and covers 43.7% of races, 14 tracks with zero. Would require sourcing a racing exchange feed - not a feature toggle.

Thanks for the idea. I will check if it's possible. If it's possible I will add it to the WOM API. Thanks again

No, and I want to be straight about why rather than leave this open. Matched amounts and lay prices need an exchange order book. Our racing feed does not carry one. It gives us runners, results and, for some races, a single starting-price indication from a handful of bookmakers - it arrives with no decimal value at all, just an SP marker. There is no back side and no lay side to split, and no size behind either. It is thinner than that even for plain odds. Checked this week: we hold odds for 590 of 1,351 races (43.7%), and 14 tracks returned none at all. So we are not sitting on liquidity data and declining to expose it - the layer below what you are asking for is not there either. Building this would mean sourcing an exchange feed for racing, which is a different supplier and a different cost, not a feature we can switch on. It is not on the plan, so I am closing this rather than parking it somewhere it would sit for a year. If your interest is in where the money is rather than racing specifically, we do serve matched volume per selection for football at /wom/. Different sport, but it is the real thing. Bzzoiro
