Every single sp bet I have made have been matched (if above $30 lay liability). I've made well over a 100,000 such bets.

It is impossible to green up exactly using SP as the SP is not known until it is reconciled and as such it is not possible to know how much to place at SP in order to green up at the SP odds

For example, if theres 50,000 in the pool for all runners and i place a $10,000 bet @ 10/1 surely it wouldnt be accepeted?
Every bet that is requested to be settled at SP would be matched at SP as long as the odds they set for the minimum/maximum price is within the SP.

If your bet of $10,000 @10/1 was set to take SP regardless of the minimum SP price then yes it would be accepted.

I would suggest you spend some time reading about and understanding the SP process. If you are using something you should really spend the time to understand it or you are likely to fall foul of it.
