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

Hi Ron
ReplyDeleteI'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.

Hi ron,the same thing has happend to me,not quite to those stakes as your friend but someone is shit quick on that suspend button.
ReplyDeletePeter 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?
ReplyDeleteplaying 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.
