Some weird activity in Betfair markets this week. Have a look at the second race today.

That last race on the 2nd and 3rd favs was mental!

Race after race, after race at the moment.

That's one heck of a steam!

Anyone know what caused it?

Somebody backing it?

Catterick up next, I wonder if it is isolated to this course.

[hgodden]

Something similar happened last race so I doubt it

Does seem there's some pretty large bettor out today and he's desperate to get matched too.

This punter was on yesterday doing the same thing.

He seems to appear 10-15 minutes before the race and puts a large back bet on each of the first 3 in the field, causing the price to plunge in. Nice trading opportunity when it reverses though!

Not sure what kind of strategy it is though!

We're assuming it's a 'he', not an it. I bet it's your friendly local bookmaker, Betfair...
