Who is "Hoovering" before the goal suspension?

Football, Soccer - whatever you call it. It is the beautiful game.

Was just scalping the draw in nigeria v greece,

layed the draw at a dangerous free-kick looking to scalp one tick in the over reaction before the shot.

Had my back order lined up at 2.92 and there was about £4k there, the kick was just about to be taken and i realised i might not get matched but was about to scratch it when the market was suspended and the free-kick went straight in.

Happy days i thought as i could then trade out MUCH higher after the goal, till i realised someone had hoovered up the whole £4k literally as the market suspended.

With a 7 second delay how is this possible? or was it coincedence that someone went in with a £4k lay at that precise time??

I saw this as well. At the end of the day a poorly paid engineer could earn a lot more than they are paid, by delaying the feed just a few seconds. Or checking if there is an inconsistency. Not an impossible task. Betfair must know who is doing it.
