The vast majority of small bookmakers in the UK don't come up with their own prices. They either copy other bookmakers or pay for them. They also typically use off the shelf software for book management and risk.

This isn't true. Atomic operations work inside the confines of the cache coherence protocol. Nothing has to be flushed to main memory, or even a lower cache An atomic operation does something more along the lines of emitting an invalid

This sort of problem is common with file formats that reach popularity <= V1 and then don't iterate quickly. "Simple Binary Encoding" v2 has been stuck at release candidate stage for over 5 years and has flaws that mean it

Like all polling I/O models (that don't spin) it also means you have to wait milliseconds in the worst case to start servicing a request. That's a long time. For comparison a read/write over a TCP socket on loopback be
