If the money is being matched then its genuine & going with it isn't a sucker play. I spotted it very early on, things like that a a big red thumb (it was me with the blank ladder) & the reason I didnt jump in front of it was because I already had a lay position open on the 2nd. That being backed was helping my position, so in a way I did benefit from it. I could of gained more by jumping in front but in-between managing my open position and taking snippets of the action I just never did.
One of these pops up every now and then but tbh it's the most I've personally seen at those odds.
Obliged, sir! I'm a bit delicate, mentally, and only scanned though. In fact, reading back, yours was the only blank ladder, but in my mind that was 'everyone'
I saw a similar thing at Bath, 15:40 on 14th July. 12k just sat there at 2.18 after a big lay push. It never moved after it hit the market 12 mins out, even after being tested. Eventually it got fully matched in the last 60 secs, and another 11k ish appeared instantly at 2.14. Incredibly, I came out of that market with a red (I was so with consumed with this money, I forgot to look at the clock)....
Incidentally, Alex Hales is now in the 'gambling yard' notebook, as is Charles Byrnes over in Ireland. He's given me some greats wins in the last few weeks
Think I remwmber the Bath market too! Im sure I didnt take advantage of that one either and it was a similar setup, either a jockey or trainer was on for a treble.... i can't just remember exactly. I don't know if it was an Alex Hales gamble, i just noticed afterwards that he had already had a winner earlier on, strange how it was backed for 20k and romped 20 lengths clear though.
Tbh, even though I haven't taken advantage of the last 2 big chunks in the market, I see no reason not to, especially if they get tested and stay put. They become a great barrier and it doesn't take long for other people to notice, they jump in front and the original stake has to be dropped. I think he dropped that 20k about 5 times, i have each one screenshot but roughly about 5.
