Hello everyone!
I wanted to ask how much different it is to get succesfully place bet when you are using for example 10pounds stakes by liability and 100pounds stake by liability :) Only high volume markets and in play for example UK horses. Thank you for all of your responses.

Hi

Not 100% sure what you are asking. £10 or 100 by liability means different things depending on where you are on the ladder. But here is an answer.

In play horses races have a lot less liquidity than the pre-off by at least a factor of 10 maybe 20. At the moment as we are in January, it's also quiet. Saying that there should not be an issue at these stakes of getting matched. Just watch a few races in ladder mode especially the 3 mile ones.

Having said that if you go much higher with the staking you will be altering the market. I noticed today a back bet of £189 at 17.5 completely halted momentum on that non favourite runner until near the finish.

Another thing to keep in mind is that anecdotally from this forum guardian bots that run in play have been known to change behaviour with the change in stakes that you are suggesting e.g. same script run by "wife" made a profit the "husband" at higher stakes lost.

Hope this helps.
