As an in running player I have noticed a sharp increase in 2 horses trading odds on during a race. Today in the 1.45 Warwick, Mush Mir & Flaming Charlie were both available to back at 1.4 & 1.44 as they jumped the last fence together. Both prices were available to back for a period of 2/3 seconds.

Prior to cross matching this was something that happened quite often and led to an easy profit but with cross matching this should not happen. Unless of course the cross matching bot is happily matching both bets at the minimum price and taking a sizeable profit?

I would be interested if anyone has any data or opinions on this topic.

It happens occasionally. This usually happens when there are 2 horses neck and neck over the last furlong with nothing else in with a shout.
In this senario the XM bot has nothing to match it with.

The trick is getting both bets matched. If one doesn't get matched there is a big red there. Risky.

Hi BC
Expect Mg is right; if you get chance to record the screen and then break it down, you'll find it doesn't get it wrong.

By the way; if you are in Running, did you now that you can switch off the "Display XM Prices" in Betangel? Worthwhile experimenting esp if you are using a bot

regards

Thank you for the replys.

I should record really so I can play it back. It feels like money is being taken out of the market but It may not be so?

Thanks again
