What happened to the 5:40 Wolves market?

[TraderFred]

Market reopened, showing £22k matched, so assuming all bets matched earlier still stand .

[spreadbetting]

Markets continually going overbroke but no idea what's happened so I'll keep my powder dry for now

[jamesg46]

Wtf is going on

[TraderFred]

Suspended again now !

Nothing unusual happening on track, no reports of any non runners or anything, seems a betfair fault at present .

Edit. Reopened ! Over broke on the lay side ?

[spreadbetting]

Seems the suspend guy pressed the void market button when he woke up.

[TraderFred]

No.4 naval officer , non runner .

Meant to say overround, was bouncing at 105+ for a while and people taking silly bets when the market came back up

[jamesg46]

Least they managed to turn it inplay

Yeah, the ? was just me not understanding why ! Still overbroke in running too, though I’m ashamed to admit, I don’t know how to take advantage !

[jamesg46]

We don't need any more of that... im 27p away from regaining my highs.

[Euler]

I was here but not trading it. Left it to the automation, looks like I missed out on some fun.

Im assuming you could laid the field at the current price and made a profit. I've never really explored it either but if you go into Bookmaking tab you can simulate it.

[spreadbetting]

Don't be too hasty to lay the field cos the market's overround/broke, it's usually because there's a non runner and things won't always be what they seem

[Derek27]

I used to profit from laying the field at an overround of 102-105% over 5-10 minutes. But trying to do it all at once when the book's over broke never appealed to me. It only takes one or two prices to move and there goes all your profit. Doing in IP must be even harder.
