Here's another one.

Based on that one and previous one, it does look like someone has a setting, on a selection, to hoover up current prices mid day, Lay @9.0+

Possibly they feel the selection can't win and then back it In-Play for a set profit. (some form of a L2B set and forget strategy)
They should be taught what is a "value", then :D .

That's for sure. :shock:

Just shows there are elements of laziness that still exists, even in trading.

If that's the case he's obviously not using Bet Angel or he'd lay at current lay price if it's less than 9.0.

One from earlier today, £1,300 matched at 13.5 when trading extremely low pre-race. It was about a 1.40 chance in the win market :o

Do people still use the Betfair website to trade?

Looks like an intended lay at 1.35 that was entered as 13.5.

I'm suprised there aren't more like that. These small phone screens are more suited to a 12 year old than my hands. Plus you need your best glasses on.

I wonder how many selections priced < 10.0 per day that have previously been trading within 12 ticks spike 100% or more of their price within 10 seconds ?

Could be an interesting strategy to trial.

I think you meant 1.2 year old. :lol:

Some of the touch keyboards I've seen require baby fingers.
