Min Fill Size
The T20 World cup feeds are v slow.
PTV (a Free-to-air- channel on 38E) seems to have the fastest feed, maybe 5-6 secs behind live - so Its impossible for me to
sync pictures to the market.
If it happens on other events I have faster pics on, I will record.
Maybe the in-play traders are paranoid - but too many have been affected in Dubai - so tend to believe them.
These traders raised issues with Betfair CS, but got no-where, and they are reluctant to force the issue on social media, fearing
they will be labelled court siders etc (Am not sure I see the problem, but whatever).

The slack channel seems to indicate Betfair police abuse.
Great - maybe they do a huge amount we are not privy to, but by random chance, I would have expected to have been caught up
in traders abusing the market.
In 20 yrs, I have never had a payment from Betfair (after they closed a rouge account)
Has anyone else ?
Do they presumably just keep the money?

I have been witnessing this in the cricket markets pretty much since API NG came in, but as I'm not an automation guy I've found it very hard to explain my point to Betfair apart from screen recordings.
The response I've been getting back is the others guys are just quicker but this makes me realise I haven't been going crazy.
Thinking back, it's v likely I know who this guy is.
He's using a PlayStation-type device at the ground.
Am waiting to hear from Betfair if it's a legitimate trading strategy. If so, I will pop a request for the Min Fill Size to be added as a
parameter to custom cols in the suggestion section.

Something is definitely going on.
From what I am seeing someone gets to the market on 4s/6s at least a second before others
Seems to be some sort of fill or kill as the order tends take the price in and around the current price then kills, second or so later everyone elses orders hit the market
Market is alot slower to react to dot balls and wickets so the player who is beating the delay is likely concentrating on 4/6s

Just a thought but couldn't someone with the coding knowledge needed test this out on some market with small stakes to see if it would actually work as expected and then report back, perhaps even recording it and uploading it?
Or is the coding a lot of work and not worth the effort?

In the early days of Horse racing in-running markets, an SIS engineer was alleged to have made a fortune from the transmitting van and unique camera angles.
There has been direct evidence of hawkeye being used to snipe Tennis, so not impossible somebody is using that telemetry data on Cricket also. As the bat hits the ball, the sniper will already know if its potentially a good shot or not. Would work a fortune in these types of markets.
Ultimately Betfair must know who this people are as their accounts must stick out like a sore thumb.

When they see their bets being taken, you know something is off.
I have been corresponding with someone in the API team - but Betfair seems reluctant to ever discuss, virtually anything in public.
I specifically asked the question in the last Q & A, as to whether any account had preferential treatment.
I will ask it again and get them to explain whether this is a legitimate tactic.
Yeah - never heard of anyone getting an ex-gratia payment by Betfair.
So, they either gave the money to charity or presumably kept it (if the perpetrators didn't get away with it all)
It's not hard to feel Betfair dodged a few bullets from regulators.
The perps would have kept the lot, because all they did was exploit a weakness in the way BF worked. That's probably why BF don't talk about these things; just gives people ideas and clues as to where to look for vulnerabilities. In fact, I once saw BF state publicly that's why they don't talk about the reasons for outages - they don't want the baddies to know where to look.
I don't suppose you could give a brief overview of what happen please as I have never heard about this and would find it interesting to hear about.
(sorry for taking the thread of topic)
Tie up all your funds in a bet that can't get matched. 5 seconds before the golf ball will reach the hole, place a back bet on that player. If the ball misses, do nothing - no bet matched because your funds are tied up elsewhere. If it drops in the hole, instantly cancel your other bet, so your golf bet gets placed, effectively without delay.
