Hi, guys
Is there any software I can buy to hide my moves?
Someone or a Team of people is constantly tracking my moves. Betfair and betangel both denied the existence of such tool, a tracking device which is capable of monotoring my moves. I believe there is one or more. I did a little test several times in the last 2 weeks.I picked a horse that was overvalued at 9/1, realistic value of the horse 14/1. I placed a bet on lay ( offsetting 8 stop at 6 place at 6. As soon i placed the bet the horse swifted 8 ticks down so a back bet trigered at 7.2 then just seconds later the horse went on 14/1 then on 16/1 at the start. Likely i never greened up the bet ( keeping all other horse in green) and the horses in question were lucky to end the race. I choose 40 jumping races over 2 weeks and on all 40 races the odds went against me 8 ticks to trigger the stop and loss then to go on 14/1 just 20 seconds later. All 40 horses have not won the race . I am up few quids still but, If you Know the way to hide my moves I will be very happy to hear your advices. thank you..
P.s. My english is bad please dont laugh... :mrgreen:

To prove that this is simply in your head there is a very simple solution.

Reverse the strategy and do the opposite???

Do you honestly believe that of the many thousand users there are on Betfair each day that these "people with trackers" have chosen to target you?

The market is what it is and manipulation of the kind you describe is pure fantasy.

You may disagree with my questions, you may think it is impossible but, you did not explain why this things happens....however could be the biggest coincidence ever (40 races out of 40) but still should have some explanations...you just felt free to be rude and nothing else..I need to clarify that Im not Enzo, my name is Enza and I am a lady and also I tested the opposite strategy and guess what it worked again in the opposite way. I am still in profits and football is what I am after because using excell settings in play concetrating on the draw is still profitable but because horses races bring something like 10 million pounds every day in to the market I was interested to make it full time among football ( those patterns are not made up it just raises questions, even betfair confirmed the investigations of some unsuall betting patters). I have just put a question on the forum to see if those things happens regularly or rarely to understand more what I thought was unsuall betting patters..I never said that someone is monotoring me alone but I may be amongs the 1000s that is laying or backing that same horse so in that case you need to understand my point before being so rude. It is something that could indeed be monitored with numbers and softwares so why not raise a question to see if other users had the same questions or thoughts. I raised that question only to find out if someone could indeed know everything about it and advice me where to find the answears . I did not expected to be verbaly rapped by couple losers. Dont forget that human instict is the best advisor, so if i feel something is not right I have to be caution and find the answears to my doubts...thank you.

Have you got a virus or trojan on your machine that needs removing. Try Nortons or another virus removing software.

If you saw my reply as rude then I apologise, I did not mean it to upset you.

There are lots of reasons why this happens but without seeing exact price points, market construction, volume of money etc etc I cannot make an accurate reply. I would be willing to wager it is simply an entry to a market at the incorrect time and the entry of money is at an incorrect point.

On the larger priced horses, there is very little volume matched and that makes it very dangerous to trade unless you are familiar with them and experienced enough to know when you can and cannot get involved. For example if you offer to lay a horse at 8.8 because it has drifted from 5.4 then there is every chance that 8.8 is pretty close to the top of its range. When you offer money anyone looking for value will see that money and take it. There are lots of experienced traders/gamblers who match this kind of money because they play a percentage game. They have a horse priced at 6.00 in their book so if someone offers 8.8 they are getting tremendous value which long term will prove profitable.

When your money is matched it can cause a lemming effect move where other people see this happening and they jump on board. There is very little money in this runner's market so it cannot support the price - the result is a collapse back down to the low price, a price where "value" seekers will not bet. The process then repeats and the price starts to rise back towards the 8.00 mark - provided there is enough time and enough money.

The same will be true of a reverse move which proved my point - if it works both ways then it cannot be anything other than market forces at work. I'm afraid you missed that point and just saw my comment as rude.

Why not in Football? Different market that last for 90 minutes of game time and many hours before game time. The market has a lot more money pro-rata and therefore has a totally different dynamic.

One thing I do concur with is - if you truly believe there is a "dark force" at work then you should give up now! Can you begin to imagine how many thousands of people there are on Betfair and how difficult it would be to monitor their activity and for what? The data to and from Betfair is encrypted so your position cannot be monitored either singularly or by the thousands!

Start questioning your methods rather than blame external dark forces!

One last thing I simply do not believe it was 40 out of 40 and you are massaging the figures to reinforce you view. I could click the screen on back or lay at the current prices on 40 separate races and it would be impossible to get 40/40 wrong! Set the stakes to the minimum and choose any runner priced around 5 -8 and see if you can manage it! Then post the log from Bet Angel on here! Then we will start to consider your anti tracking theory!

Hi jolly,
That is much better. Thank you.
I am very embarassed but I think we found the real problem to those strange price instant swiftings in the opposite way.
My computers were both infected by a Virus..BA crashed several times and the odds were frozen sometimes....I am using my friend computer I can see already the odds are moving much faster then before..When I was trading on football in play the odds dont move that fast anyway so I could not possibly know that My computers were infected even though I have the specific antivirus.....I drop my case...I dont need a antitracking device anymore But I need indeed to fix my computers and buy a better antivirus.

Hi Enza,
Please accept my appoliges for getting your name [and gender] wrong it certainly was not my intention to upset you.
I think you have to realise that if you place a lay bet into the market you are only matching a price that somebody else has asked for and certainly if you are laying horses at the prices you are describing then the next availble back price may well be a long way below the price you have taken so as you are offsetting as well as using a stop loss then you will get mathed at the lower price.
