I'm falling more in love with the Mansion Exchange every day. The website is slick as hell, and I have almost every bit of it figured out -- except for this:

Pretty much all of the information available is self-explanatory, except for the Price/Volume chart under the Selection Info tab. My questions are, what is Price (%), and is there any way to determine how much time has passed from trade to trade?

Price and Volume apparently share the same axis, but the horizontal lines are linked to Price. The bars at the bottom pretty clearly represent dollar amounts traded, and the brown line is the price. The price is always around 50% on spread games, and will head to the extremes on big ML favs or dogs, but I still can't directly/exactly correlate it to anything.

It makes me wonder why they don't have odds going down the left side, and the time of day accross the bottom. Am I missing something?

Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

I believe the volume relates to the volume at that price when the trade was made..

The price is just odds expressed as a percentage rather than moneyline/fractional/decimal.

Bookmakers set their odds according to percentages, the lower the percentage, the better deal the punter is getting. To calculate the percentage each price is worth, add a point and divide into 100. So 3/1 becomes four into 100, equals 25. A perfectly round book, with each price representing the true chance, would total 100. A book totalling 125 would be 25 percent over-round and give bookmakers a theoretical profit of 20 percent (25 divided by 125). In general, the bigger the field, the more the percentage favours the bookmakers.

3/1 = +300
