Can’t make sense of this chart. The image is from the BF app so might not be clear, but the volume spike is two separate bets of almost the same amount, which between them represent about 90% of the traded volume, and yet the price barely moved.

Almost all UK greyhound markets has 4 euros matched at all runners at @ 6.
Few days back, there were many markets 4 euros matched at all runners at @ 10.

I noticed this as well. Presumably someone self-matching to try and mess with bots. I tried to catch him/her today by placing back bets at 10 on all runners in one race but they went for 6 instead. Strange, wonder what their angle is.

lol, same today. Idk what's the point of this, messing with bots. If there's other exchange that has active bots who follow Betfair prices, it's possible to make money this way, but nowadays it's hard to manipulate market without getting noticed.

You can easily make a bot to capture these and then you just wait, like a hunter of ancient times for the animal to walk by.

And then you strike.

That's more like the hunter being safely asleep but waking up to find an elephant in his rat trap.
