I'm guessing I know the answer to this, but who pockets the breakage from cross-matching?

eg if I offer up a lay on Overs at 2.98 then due to cross-matching it will appear as an offer to back Unders at 1.5 even though the value I'm offering up is actually the equivalent of 1.505.

If you do a search for the original docs that Betfair put out when cross-matching was introduced you might find the answer. I do remember in a Q&A or FAQ, the question appeared and they provided an answer, but I never bothered reading it.
