Some people match small bets at big odds as soon as the markets open so it skews the graphs. Been going on for years on all markets, surprised Betfair haven't stepped in to put a stop to it the same as they do with the penny bets.

Are you certain its not the crossmatching that is responsible for most of it?

[Emmson]

Readying myself for some evening nags, hope instances of faves jumping 8 ticks in one fell swoop are not present.

[Euler]

Only one meeting on this evening.

Guess it's got to be a possibility but cross matching isn't usually turned on for racing until close to the off

[Emmson]

Chepstow, I do dislike all those south west flat tracks, FFos Las, Bath, Chepstow over the jumps Chepstow is decent but the standard of horse on the flat is abysmal

I can't see how cross-matching would account for a few pence lay on the fav at 100 when money is likely available at better odds.

Well there you go on Rotherwick...

[Emmson]

From 2.78 to 2.6

[Euler]

Strange set up for the racing this week. You have two meetings this afternoon, one yesterday evening. All feels a bit disjointed.

[jamesg46]

Today feels a bit of a grind so far, can't seem to pick up on much of anything and when i do it's something of nothing.

[BeastofBrine]

Some big swings all of a sudden.

[Euler]

Some big swings all of a sudden.

Much more lively already this evening.
