Hi

In high volume football games I see there are too much high volumes lay bets placed in really small odds from 1.01 to 1.15 from seven days before the game starts, I am curious to know why? is it a trade or for a recovery.

It will be many things, those you said plus people who believe there is long term profit at keeping these in play and being at the front of the queue plus those waiting patiently for fat fingers/bot malfunctions etc etc

From my perspective I would never copy what other people do without an idea or strategy as to whether or not it is expected value positive. And strategies that are positive for one person may be negative for others, due to a range of factors including for example queue position, latency, value at risk in position etc.
