Betfair chart / Betfair graph of the day
This was pretty nice too. Anybody stung by the huge spike in the last minute before the off? I had a speculative exit position above 3 and was not expecting it to be matched!

It looked at the time like a huge order had caused it but since it wasn't that, if most of the unmatched money about the LTP was one trader and they pulled it instantly could that in theory cause the spike?Euler wrote:The strange thing about that market is that there was no volume alongside that spike.

The markets are all over the place today. Some short price favourites been traded in play like the races haven't even started. Good fun.
This may not quite look like chart of the day, but it was the BIGGEST thrown away opportunity of the day for me.
The runner was trading at 2.36 before the previous race finished. I put a speculative lay order at 2 and I was the first money there.
As soon as the previous race finished money rushed in and touched 2 and took me out. I panicked and thought it would certainly break evens and steam right through so I scratched immediately. But wouldn't you know. It was the lowest it traded and then drifted out to 2.5
That was 25 ticks of opportunity that I foolishly gave away due to panic.

What looked like one person with 5k chasing the price all the way from 2.25-ish down to 1.9, before finally withdrawing and springing the price back above evens and back again.

Will you stop this public self-flagellation please? 
If you think it does you any good, you're mistaken. It's a bit like trying to cure a headache by hitting yourself on the head with a hammer...

Anyone get the 2.35 at goodwood on king of the danes. Big drift and someone was desperate to try and hold the price up at the off with 5K lay under the money and it won.
