Kelso abandoned due to frost today (Sunday).

So that leaves Wolvs and Navan. Lots of shorties at Navan.

Sounds like a good reason to do something else today.

I've only traded 3 or 4 races today in between the football but there's been some huge moves.

the 14:20 at lingfield was one of the craziest markets I've ever seen on betfair for price activity and momentum. I have no idea what is happening in these markets!

nothing just some crazy price action. Thousands. probably hundreds of thousands pushed it out then backed it in. It didn;t even blink at 3 after starting at 2.5. It went straight through in a straight line all the way out to 3.5. turned on a 6 pence and then came all the way back to about 2.8. then at the off the sp returned at about 3.2

Whatever was laying it was completely automatic. If it had been real money there would have been areas where the pace would have changed and momentum would have changed even if it was for a few seconds. The correction down seemed like real money but the entire move out was done on automatic.

I assume some of you full timers are making a killing with these swings today? :)

Serious question jim. Do you think they are laying their own money?

no it was people just trying to follow a trend in massive momentum which just extended it to crazy levels.

I have no idea what is going on in these markets. Prices seem to want to go one way then do several u turns and go through the opposite of where they've just been in crazy volume....all out of nowhere. I have started recording them now but when i watch them back I can't seem to get much out of analysing them. There just seems to be massive amount of fake money pushing prices to strange levels and then completely reversing at random. Someone is losing a lot of money somewhere.

Hello Everyone

I'm completely new to the forum. Been trying the trading for 3 months now and felt like I was getting somewhere until today. Thanks for the posts about todays markets being difficult. I was beginning to think I was doomed.

4:10 Wolverhampton was another strange one, not as extreme as the race above, but Our Gabrial went from 2.2 down to 1.8 then shot back out to over 2, then just steamed back in to around 1.7 just before the off, I noticed on the live show had a similar move, came in to 4/5 back to 10/11 then back to 4/5.
