Has anybody on here ever successfully spotted some automation in the markets and manipulated it to their advantage?
I have seen some automation in the horse markets and I can tell exactly what it does, I'm considering purposely moving their prices down in order to lay them lower, probably wouldn't last long when they started losing, but would be interesting to try it out.

Peter once recoreded a video of himself tricking a bot

This was in the place markets, if there’s a big enough gap between back and lay and you jump in front of the best back price it automatically jumps one price ahead until the gap gets to around 4 ticks. The stake entered is based dependant on the odds.

My bots have a random timer coded into them to vary their start time in the hope they dont get spotted
