Maximum bet BA Users have laid on SP

[dbeedie]

All, just looking for some historical feedback if you have backed at SP, and what the maximum bet you have managed to obtain either at your projected odds or close to. For example, what has been your experience with liquidity in general markets (not Saturday 'big' meetings) at tracks such as Newcastle, Windsor, Kempton, Salisbury for example. Have you ever managed to get, up to $2000 or £3000 at SP?

Yes, no problem. It is easier on the shorter prices.

Thanks for the reply. By shorter price I am assuming you are referring to sub 2.1 (3.00) prices.

Not necessarily sub3.0. It is on a scale.

Not much money gets matched at SP, so above a certain amount and you will start to influence it.

I'd saying it's much easier to get matched at a better price in that last minute before the off.

I wish I found it much easier to get better than BSP in the last minute

He means that with a sizeable enough stake you will adversely move SP more than you would move the market price before the off.

eg trying to back £10k on a 2.0 fav just before the off might drag the average matched price down to 1.95, but try and whack it all on at SP might drag SP down to 1.90.

This is supercomplicated, especially taking into an account "iceberg" money ("take sp") that will be fired only at the off. That's the real problem to scale betsize without losing precious ticks (especially for big odds).

The main issue is how much $ is available in ATB1 & ATB2 etc

And how much is on either side of the SP ladder.

Surely.
