Think it was evs wasn't it? Still hardly any matched at other prices, a little at 6.0 and 12.0, very odd

The 21K (only half of it counts as back stake) was placed at 2.0 with a few grand swept up along the way, but was the few hundred traded up to 50 the backer closing his trade?

Wow, holding Man City to 0-2 might have been a reasonable outcome today but that was really an overreaction!

Anyone have a stat they don't mind sharing on fat finger probability?
e.g. x% of markets had a >= 30 tick spike vs. LTP where LTP < 20

It's funny how a fat-finger trade is often followed by another one.

That chart is very misleading. The time between the initial fat finger to the end of the chart was only a matter of seconds, maybe about 10, though the chart makes it look like the first fat finger was way before the start of the race, not just a matter of seconds, so there was a bit of a scramble of people/bots sorting out positions I would think causing what looked like multiple fat fingers.

That is incorrect the x axis is time but it isn't to a set scale, y axis is price and z axis is volume

if a market has no further bets matched, the chart would remain the same if it was inactive for 2.4 seconds or 2.4 years. Therefore we can say the x-axis is not time. Time is a measurable unit, I don't think it can be without a 'scale', I welcome you to point me to the source of your info though if I'm wrong
