I think people have become used to him, and not being scared off

Previously, £100k at 7.4 would have a triggered a steamer, but £2k was actually layed at 7.4 and held steady at 7.2 until he withdrew it

How long have you noticed this for? I have only started noticing it the last 2 days! Am I blind or missing something?

Ive actually conditioned myself to not worrying at all about the manipulation to the point where I dont even see it half the time, which shows you that all these tricks & tactics effects eventually wear off, the market always adjusts over time, so they like the rest of us have to adapt and try new angles out in the market or get severely burnt, I cant wait to see one of their 100k offers being taken by someone, not seen it yet, but its bound to happen sometime, then I will have a big smile on my face!

Thing I don't understand is that it's very predictable so I don't see that as effective. I did really well on this race.

Why not put £100k in front of his. If he is trying to get both sides filled he won't be able to and will crap himself?

Im sticking with the link to Premiership Footballer. Ive read reports of Rooney being introduced to an unlicenced bookie a couple of years back through Michael Owen and losing 700K. I remember last summer on a golf course hearing of other footballers being introduced. Could it just be simply someone is saying if you can get matched at odds of xxxx Ill take anything up to 100k?

Not everyone that uses the exchanges is trading preoff racing like the people using this forum.

In most cases he's hardly getting anything of the 100k matched though, so personally i doubt it's that.

It certainly not the way i, or most others i would think, would try to get a large bet like that matched.

more likely it's someone who's trading imo

You would take a lower price if you want to be filled?

yeah Either that or
get it matched more gradually with lots of smaller bets.

Sticking 100k up at the current odds is only going to achive one thing.
