There were similar amounts initially holding the price when it was 4.6ish but they got cancelled

The 20k Reappeared on the lay side at 4.0, looked like a possible 2nd attempt to discourage further backing after the fierce break

Imo it was self-matched when it didn't work

+1 Though across accounts as otherwise it wouldn't show on the chart.

interesting didn't know that, seems less likely then but that's what it felt like in the moment.

See you tomorrow when we do it all again :geek:

That's quite risky. it breaches Betfair's anti-money laundering T&C policy and could invite unwanted attention or investigation.

Had a clean sweep today but still don't feel like I've fully got to grips with the markets yet this year

It happens all the time and people have sub accounts off their master account I believe which allows this. It isn't an issue from Betfair's point of view or I am sure they would have stamped the behavior out years ago.

Pretty certain this has been discussed in detail somewhere else on the forum, sure I read a thread all about it some time ago.

Peter and others on the forum I believe have sub accounts and master accounts who could clarify if a self match between sub accounts show up on Betfair charts but they certainly don't when you self match on the one account, it obviously isn't counted towards matched volume either.

It has been disappointing for me so far. The markets have been a lot more volatile than I was expecting which doesn't suit my style.

Looking forward to Saturday's Australian racing more than the next two days of Cheltenham tbh.

Same here.

I had no idea about master/sub accounts, sounds quite useful.

I have two Betfair accounts but I think Betfair no longer allow a second account if you didn't already have one.

Betfair historically allowed more than one account but new account holders can't open more than one. But that's what relatives are for, isn't it?

Thought that first was a fairly lifeless market and took a bit of a grind to get anything from it

It was my kind of market, a nice start to the day here but I have a fair amount of ground to make up on previous years efforts.

+1

Struggled to get into the market with the market moving away from all my orders. Just got a couple of ticks out of it.

Quite a long gap between suspension and market going in-play.

Interesting how different styles of trading have completely different outcomes on the same market.
