Hi everyone just a quick question. Have you all noticed the spike in activity that occurs at 2 minutes before post on pretty much every market? What exactly do you think this rapid increase in actuvity at precisely 2 minutes is? It usually does not last more than a few seconds.

i dont notice a significant increase to be honest, but could be that most automated bets are placed at round numbers and 2 minutes seems like a sensible time with enough money in the market and some time to get matched

In most races especially the weaker ones the majority of volume comes in the last 2 and a half minutes or so before post time, nothing mysterious about it.
