On my screen the favorite being backed until the end of the race.... or was it just an illusion?

Same kind of patterns of the last 2 days I think, possibly the 'Mad Bomber' adjusting tactics slightly to back at smaller amounts.

Same here, managed to lay both below evens but only losing lay has been settled.

X-matching bot switched off?

The favourite ducked under the stalls and was withdrawn. What you traded was a market that didn't exist.

I just lost about an average months profits on this race greening up on the winner in play. R4 was applied to my back bet before the off and not to my in-play lays, so I backed at 2.33 and layed at an average of 4.69 according to BF for nearly twice the amount.

I was very happy with my green screen initially and thought my luck had finally changed for the better. But I then started thinking about R4's and surprise, surprise ... BAM! massive loss.

I think I may be done with the horses now, I'm certainly going to have a break anyway. I've not made any money this year so far and am not likely to get back into the black until Cheltenham now. The markets are hard enough at the moment without losing a shed load of money to an R4.

Good luck anyway guys.

Bad luck, I was watching it and still got slammed. The prices went crazy when it ducked, just one of those things I guess. Doesn't happen very often.

Bob, really sorry to hear about your loss mate.
Good lesson for you guys here, it is very very important to see what is going on.There is a way if you don't have pictures. Either radio or use the Sporting Life live odds. That shows when a horse is withdrawn.
