First flow 15.5 now. Damn it, will let it ride with 385 to win, just not worth ruining my Cheltenham for such a large lay stake.
Might take the week off if it wins.

I haven't joined Smarkets, so I'm in no position whatsoever to pass judgement, however I am also suspicious of their matched figures. Do they include self-matching in those figures? Betfair used to do that in the early days, and it's the easiest way to increase and exploit the supposed levels of liquiditySeaHorseRacing wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:41 amNot sure whether I believe that if I am honest...convoysur-2 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:33 amsmarkets have over 8 million traded on the first ,

Question on matching - is it really first come first served?
reason: on the first chelt today i thought 'lets see how long it takes to get matched' i placed a £50 stake at 3.05 on the fav - at the time the amount matched was 890k at that price and there was 7k in the queue - so my reasoning was that at 897k ish i would get matched - right now it's at 910k and i'm still not matched - how does that work?

I also note this - at one point it was exactly 1k in the pendings - i saw several lays placed which did not deduct from the pending number at all. is this even accurate?
Matched totals are double actual totals and then there's cross-matching to talk about!Original-Soultrader wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:17 pmQuestion on matching - is it really first come first served?

so it's pretty pointless then?
i finally got matched at 940k matched - 50k up from my placing point - even halved thats 25k.
just trying to understand the point of having it - is it just large meetings that screw it up?
