Is anyone else finding that these guys are ruining the markets? Just putting there orders in the market at the money then whacking up £30,000 or so on either the back side or lay side depending which side they want filling.

All over the fav in the 15:00, £900k out of £1.3m matched on just the favourite. A bit of a battle going on there.

A lot of favourites are falling at the first today. Not sure I have ever seen so many to be honest?

Looked like someone took £20k of their money in the last race. I hope it was someone taking it and not a self match and they took a nice loss - nothing would please me more

I know its not very christian of me, but I really wanted the fav in the last to lose,in the hope their large back was a mistake

As all the money disappeared on the lay side after the £20k+ was matched makes you wonder if it was pulled in panic??

At some point he's bound to get himself into a lot of trouble leaving that amount of money lying around, sooner or later someone will smash his lay bet or a horse will start playing up before the off leaving him with a huge deficit

If it's happening a lot can't you figure out what he's doing (or at least what usually happens) and take advantage of it without risking your own £120k?

He got matched few thousands and was really confident just in front of the queue I would say more than 10 sec. On my USD acc it was round half million. He has to be crazy.
