    1/1.5 seconds from actual live to the TV viewer at home just isn't possible.

    I know you're saying you test it but from my POV, I'm in the Sports Data industry and Betting companies pay us in the seven figures to provide them with the raw feeds which would be upwards of 6 seconds ahead of the feeds that TV viewers receive (still cameras, birds-eye cameras etc is what they'd be getting).

    They wouldn't do that if people watching on TV were getting virtually the exact same feedback.

    Well that’s what it is - I have tested it and I’m sure many more have. There is no feeds 6 seconds ahead of live action in horse racing anyway for certain. Maybe in football but it’s not as lucrative an in running betting proposition as horse racing is

    Bit miffed so why betting companies would pay the money they do to receive the raw footage when they can just use TV broadcasts but that’s cool to know...

    Tested it myself on track last week. RUK No more than 2 seconds behind if even that.

    ATR is miles behind though at least 6/7 Seconds

    ATR miles behind but the Betfair Live Video from ATR tracks is only 2/3 seconds behind
