Australian racing

Some big stakes flying about for a Wed.

Seems to be lots of backing activity on favs as well.

Has there even been a drifter yet?

Just had a look, only ones I could spot from 23 markets traded so far were:

04:20 Balaklava
04:30 Cant. Park

From my estimations monseuir big back has just won 4x their total stake in the 06:00 Canterbury so would be well positioned to continue looking for backing opportunities.

Decent meeting at Doomben to look out for tomorrow

How did I not know there's a course named after me?

Probably better not trade it

[Derek27]

Easy money at Caulfield tonight but too tired to stay up for the Doomben group one. Good luck anyone getting up for it.

Only caught the back end of the session. Butchered the Doomben Grp1.

Dont think that's a good thing

Overall I found the markets quite difficult

[eightbo]

Hahaha Derek ffs. I managed a fair result from the 2hr sit-down but yeah had too much size on at Doomben and got deservedly stung.

[Derek27]

I've got it. You got butchered by the market.

I intended to trade Wednesday but was busy doing housework and didn't really get any urge, whilst being so productive, to stop what I was doing to trade Australia ‒ it's really nothing more important to do territory now.

Rosehill's on Saturday and the group one Doomben Cup.

Tbf yesterday did trade pretty bad

[mcgoo]

Just had something interesting happen.. traded a 1000m race...on the fav..back bet... I placed a closing trade outside of the price ..it was close to the off so I clicked on Take Sp All..there was a suspension..the price went all over the place- I actually thought the race had kicked off ( I could have sworn I saw the race go in play) Then the pre-off market resumed over(post ) start time on the clock...my balance dropped by a large liability (the liability of the original bet from what I could tell initially) but I had 2 bets matched..a back bet at 3.70 and a lay bet at 3.95. I couldn't green/red up any more and the market showed a red all position for a small loss. The next thing the market turns in play and I have a large liability show up on the market itself and a 3rd bet.. a lay at 4.2 appeared in the matched bets window. I didn't panic and placed a closing scratch trade in the hope the fav would drift.It did and I got matched but I could have lost a significant % of bank. I am thinking BF accidentally turned the market in play and then corrected it but am not sure..bloody scary either way

Mcgoo, most likely there was a non-runner taken off the market.

When that happens, Betfair readjusts the odds also of bets that were matched before.

What race was it mcgoo (time/place)? I'll have a look at it and try to confirm what northbound said (sounds the most likely). I quite like doing detective work as it shows up any holes in what I collect.
