Cheltenham 2012

[Euler]

£10m matched on the feature race. Managed my best result today on the both exchanges on this race.

Did you see the flashing spoofer on three horses at Cheltenham. He was obviously trying to trick bots into firing or something. He didn't pick his horses very well as he was trying to hold down Uncle Junior which just had to drift, I just kept on laying it.

He has been on all the Cheltenham races so far today and on more than 3 horses in every race, pick the right one and it is quite profitable to go with him.

ye... looks like you took my green peter lol i couldnt work out what he was doing, most frustrating... i cant see why uncle juniour had to drift more though, it has already doubled in price!

I pulled off a great trade on the XC chase thanks to him.

Can't say I have seen him do anything different today than he has always done when flashing the market over the years.

I don't think it has anything to do with tricking bots tbh and I can't say I saw him holding down Uncle Junior's price?

What did you see Peter that makes you think it is done to trick bots? And what made you think he was holding the price down?

He always wants his money matched, the key to trading him imo is working out his MO that he uses to get the money matched.

As an aside I just had my best trade of the day....it was at Sedgefield.

Edit: 16.40 first race today I haven't seen him at Cheltenham

Not the best promotion for BF today bet that win proved expensive!

Anyone monitoring the average individual matched bet and the average individual bet size placed?

I'm having a blast on these markets. From 25 minutes to around 12 mins before the off, the pace of money coming in and being taken flows nice and calm for me... then Bang,.... in comes the big girls and boys with their 10s of thousands and eat up everything.... got done in the first race ..from then on small green...but I'm staying with it... just asking for price all the time.....euler, your chelt stats on your blog gave me enough insight to create enough confidence to dive in..thanks....

Im ready to go at this this week

I'm having a mare and am thoroughly hacked off with trading the horse racing markets!

Markets seem to be awful for me. Markets feel like a wednesday night kempton market rather than a buxom cheltenham one.
