If I did that, then someone would have expected the Spanish Inquisition! And we just can't have that.
But nobody expects the complete absence of the Spanish Inquisition meme!

Practise mode matches about 0.1 sec quicker than real money because you don't have to wait for the trade to reach Betfair and for them to run it through their matching engine.TupleVision wrote: ↑Mon Jul 14, 2025 1:42 pmAm I right in thinking that in practice mode your money is effectively always at the top of the queue too so it doesn't actually reflect real life scenarios where only a few quid gets matched before it darts off the other way?
From memory I think it does roughly estimate a place in the queue, but once it reaches the front it will match in full regardless of whether enough money is available in real life or not.
