Don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but was trading a 3rd favourite today, odds of 8 - 8.2. I just couldn't get it right. Ended up losing £11 on the race before the 5 minute to go warning. At this I decided to have a break and went to the shop to get some fags. On coming back home I saw one of my new kittens draped over my pc mouse, sunning itself. I picked it up and put it on the chair so i could settle down for some more trading. I maximised my betfair account screen to see my P&L for the day after my £11 loss. To say I was shocked was an understatement! I trade to a £1000 bank, and was trading to £100 on the 8 - 8.2 shot. My balance had increased by £728!! With my heart beating fast, I checked the account statement page and saw a back bet of £100 @ 8.6. Then it fell into place, my kitten must have Either trod on the mouse or lay on it and clicked the button, As I had left the cursor over the ladder. Tonight, that kittens had fresh salmon! But there are two things to take out of this experience - never leave the ladder screen up if I leave the room, and secondly - my kitten wins far more on betangel than me!
