Brighton 20.10.11

Whoever it was happily leaving 5k / 6k unmatched lay money on the favourite then in the 5.2 and all the other lay money must be pretty confident he's gone away

It is a bit odd how the lay money seems to 'know' when it is safe to butt up to it and when it isn't.

Same again on the last favourite, loads of lay cash, no bomber.

I wonder if he's logged out of his account?

Guess its the old saying, "money moves markets".

One thing is for sure they have the deepest pockets I have ever known. Lost about £20,000 on the 17.00 and have around £20,000 on Shifting Star here in the 17.10....

They are playing the percentage game, when you do this monatary funds dont matter, as we all know as traders (to whoever plays percentages) its what is left at the end of the month not what is won today or lossed tomorrow

A couple of summers ago when they were around regurlarly Alpha I kept notes of what they had bombed and the odds etc in the hope that I could start laying at the bottom of their spikes - they were giving away masses of value and really you could have made a fortune just laying the bottom of their spikes. Unfortunately they disappeared for a while after that and its pretty risky anyway, but when you see them hammer one horse for 30k on a race thats on ATR, watch it lose and then switch over to an RUK race which is 1 minute in and randomly hammer the favourite for another 30k, you're not exactly dealing with equine geniuses

I have seen them go from one race to the next which is already off, they just lumped on the fav for big amounts even though it was already stuffed. They just kept dropping the money until it was all gone which didn't take too long obviously. They literally were throwing their money away and that was not a one off case. If that was the same person and I am confident it was there is no way they were playing any percentage game. They were just putting their money on regardless of everything else.

TBH I have not been able to figure out why they have been doing it for nearly 3 years now in various forms and tbh I don't care as it is pretty easy to make good money off them and that is all I care about.

i got very nervous by this over two days... and suffered heavy losses. Oh well off to work I guess...

Yes i have thought this a few times, i cant bring myself to jump on the lay side when all the cash appears even... well i did once but then the whole market seemed to turn, almost like its random. Most parculiar..... just makes me nervous now tbh, i prefer it when its not about.
