With regard to different markets that are essentially the same (eg. Correct Score 0-0 & Under 0.5 Goals)...

I was wondering, does Betfair link these markets in any way whatsoever, or are they entirely independent and driven only by bettors?

These markets always seem to be pretty much the same, give or take the occasional variation of a tick or two.

Does Betfair have any mechanisms in place to encourage such markets to always be relatively balanced?

I'm not hunting for an edge out of this... I'm just curious about whether such markets are entirely independent of eachother or not.

Yes football markets are all connected, its called cross-market cross-matching
XMXM

Bets placed in one can/will be matched in another
