Did you notice someone holding up the market in the last minute or so with around 50K, he took it away and it came in around 10 ticks. I would love to have the money to be able to punish these bullies. Then again anyone able to push the market around with 50K probably wouldn't be too bothered if someone did take their money.
I actually tried to jump on the back of it looking for the reversal after getting a nice early trade in but as u said as soon as it was pulled the steam continued.

The amount just looked so out of place compared with everything else around it. I assumed that whoever was doing it knew what they were doing and were probably getting back bets filled as the price started drifting upwards. Knowing full well that once they pulled the large lay bet, the price would come steaming in and they could make a damn good profit.

At the moment I'm doing a lot more watching of the markets than actually trading, just trying to absorb as much information about how they work as I can. A few weeks ago I would not have even noticed that large lay bet places just outside the market, let along have a chance of working out what was probably going on, so I feel I'm making some progress. I still have a great deal more to learn though, but I really find it fascinating.

I was out all day and came home to find my horse-bot had returned it's best day ever, by quite some way.

Q. For those who were trading on Sat....Was there significantly more money in the UK markets, especially in-play, possibly due to everyone's attention being concentrated on a smaller number of races?

I know 16 races doesn't make a statistical hill of beans, but I got 15/16 at better prices than average.

Have I just learned something about how Saturdays behave with a restricted card? Or should I just chalk it up to good fortune?

I don't suppose anyone has any tips for trading the very short priced favourites, such as the 14.10 at Leopardstown today? Find it quite hard to figure out the best way to read card as it's like trading glue and the charts don't tend to give much of an indication.

Naturally don't expect any huge giveaways but a point in the right direction would be hugely appreciated.

Always offer a price. Scratch your positions!

So if there was 20k on the price. Soon as it reaches say 5k scratch it right away.

Lots of scratching- Wait for last few mins.

Thanks very much for that, that makes a great deal of sense! I was trying to hold more longer term positions and they were too hard to predict so i was getting caught in between.

It was a very difficuilt race!

I couldnt make sense so what I decided that because it has moved so much if it comes back in towards the bottom of its traded range I will lay it and it payed off.
