BETFAIR BOT or PRIVATE BETTING BOT?

[CaerMyrddin]

Hi, yes, there seems to be some kind of problem under some Nvidia GPU's using W7, but not of the kind you are talking about. I noticed the that behaviour, but that only happens in low liquidity markets and I believe it has to do with betfair, the API or something like that and not our stations. If you look to the total matched it also changes by a tiny amount when the LTP flashes

Thanks for that - I think you are right about the low liquidity markets.

How large are the stakes you are using when this happens? I'd imagine this can only happen if the stakes you are using are too large to be expected by the market (i.e. in the 1000s).... if you stake 'undercover' then you shouldn't really have any direct trouble like this unless someone is actively targeting your account (not that I want to make you paranoid, this is very unlikely I would have thought.) If this is a repeat occurance that happens every time and you're not using massive stakes then it might be a good idea to do a thorough anti-virus check of your PC, but I think it's far more likely just to be a coincidence. There are bots out there targeting everyone and all sorts of behaviours

My stakes can go from £25 to 5k depending of the market. I run Antivirus twice a day. It`s not a coincidence as It happens everytimes I entry the market with £25 to £500, however I usually trade from 2 hours to 20 minutes prior the event, I have noticed that happens with less frequency when I was forced to trade 5 minutes prior the race. What annoys me more is that If I placed a lay bet at 3.45 but, the market is on 3.6 instantly £1000 appear on 3.5, if I cancel, he instantly cancel too..I will find the explanation soon or later and change my strategys accordingly...

In that case I think its definately just a bot and not targeting you personally

to clarify I would like to say that I am not interested to place large amounts if the market is not solid ... usually on football matches when there are already matched 700K for example. I only trade on 5-6 horses in 1-2 days.I wake up early in the morning and work long hours to search for shares that could be wrong and use these to make a profit. The only way to take advantage of these opportunities is to work between 2 hours to 20Min b4 the start of the race .. In any case, I try to follow all the other races to take information and use my 10% profits for Lay all 1.1 in play. My frustration is that this bot steals my hard work with just one click. I am already finding solutions for this but, my only concerns was if BETFAIR was behind this market behaviuor or not. I thank you all for all your comments. good luck today..
