Is it my imagination, or are there more and more of these extreme moves around pre-race currently?

I was about to post about 3 different ones that were all mad from yesterday, but then realised I seemed to be seeing so many it would distract from my trading itself!

The market is getting more and more volatile over time.

Do you think there is any specific reason for this?

Don't forget this forum is publicly available - so if somebody posts about using a baf file to say "if it goes down three ticks then place another lay bet...............". It's a bit like "Baby Shark". Last week I'd never heard of it but thanks BBC radio I can't get the damn tune outta my head. Link here (Pink Fong): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny-iXIVTC7w
I've been using the baf file in practice mode which has produced some fantastic results - if you have an unlimited money supply.
I do hope you enjoy Baby Shark :lol:
You can hum it while you are waiting for the market correction. (everybody's run out of money- just like 2008)

I gave up betting because it was too time-consuming and trading's easier, but I'm really tempted to go back to betting with these crazy historical price overrounds, probably dropping to about 50%.

Some clairvoyants pushed this one out from 2/1 to 16/1.

The horse finished last, 16 lengths behind the second last horse. In a 7 furlong flat race.

Indeed. Somebody sure knew something was up...

If anyone is a trader and backed that at 2/1 they probably should just give up now :lol:

As a punter I've never understood why somebody decides to back a horse, but when he sees it's drifted to twice the price he changes his mind!

Sure, people may know things you don't, but that's always the case with betting. In the absence of any obvious reason for the drift I always had a bit more on - it's often an overreaction and offers better value.

I’m pretty sure Euler has mentioned backing drifters that actually go on to win.
