Massive Manipulation?

[andyfuller]

Massive Manipulation just starting the last few races - looks like a bot as the amounts are increasing on each second for most of the lays and the backs.

Not seen it to this scale on so many horses before from memory.

Wierd...

Incredible stuff

It has to be a bot, but whoever it is, they must have a massive Betfair balance

Didn't seem to fussed about being matched on the 17.20. Would be interesting if anyone got chance to work out the liability on the orders? Looked well over £200,000

Could be the dodgy API causing something to go AWOL.

I think there was something wrong with the API - really weird, I layed a couple of bets and I found that I had backed at 1000. Lost my money of course.

How does that work?

Was the API i gained out of it for one race the offset ticks comes in handy for doddgy API, as long as you are on the right side but i packed up after, rule number 10 no trading on doddgy equipment or API

[LeTiss]

OK, so perhaps the API was playing up

What happens here then? Was the money available to match or not, or was it ghostly figures that didn't exist?

[Sunnyclimes]

Alpha,

You are so right; and this was a timely (and, thankfully, not too costly) reminder that I should have listened to my experience as I reminded myself that I should do exactly what you suggest; i.e. stop!

I only have myself to blame for my lack of discipline. I cannot blame equipment whether it was mine, or the API.

Thanks for the reminder!
