Skullduggery?

A friend of mine who trades the football only told me of something that happened to him recently, he was trading the under 2.5 goals market, there had already been 2 goals and it was late on in the match, he decided to back the under 2.5 for £200 for odds of 1.78 hoping to green up a few ticks down, he was sitting watching the betrader pro screen as his £200 was not matched in fact there were £100's at 1.76 and some moneys just above his, when all of a sudden the money below some £500+, his £200 and other moneys as well as the cash at odds higher was swallowed up, then about 2 to 3 seconds later bang the market suspends clearly someone was either at the match or had a live feed and gobbled up the money over £1000, now his question his whoever pushes the suspended button must have fast information.

It makes you wonder though.

So he lost £200 from this match and was not happy as it was sitting there un-matched fo ra while, then in one movement his and others cash was gone, as the 3rd goal closed the market.


Cheers

  1. Hi Ron

    I've seen this a few times in the past and often wondered whether....????

    It's a small part of the reasons I don't trade the football in-play much these days.

  3. Peter Webb wrote an article on it a couple of months ago in Racing Ahead magazine. Put me off in running stuff for sure, but I think he said UK football wasn't a problem?

  4. playing with fire when there have already been two goals.. at least if you're in early, you've got a chance to come back after a goal.
