Was anybody on this market? Notice anything odd after game end?

Inever saw anything like it-----kept getting matched at silly prices of 1.19 to 1.74 and even bits at 2.8, 3.9, and 4.5----kept going in til bank was empty, then deposited another 1500 and kept going....UNREAL----like Christmas-----someones 'bot' got well and truly f ucked there and I was happy enough to go all the way.....LUV IT

Nuts. Could hardly believe my eyes. Hesitated at first but then dumped my bank on it. For once 'free money' comes true! I wonder what the background was. Somebody must have dumped the guts of 100k.

...and, it was getting matched at 1.5ish----1.7ish regularly for what seemed like forever......nice holiday out of that, for sure

Felt too good to be true! I kept double checking to make sure I wasn't on a women's basketball market and UConn v Arizona happened to be on at exactly the same time! I was watching UConn cut down the nets and 1.5 was still sitting in the window with 1000s of euro available. Insane. Some poor chap must be feeling pretty down on himself right now.

I went to the kitchen after it finished, and when I came back I couldn't believe it; I was watching it in Espn America..I didn't believe it,  so I din't get any of the free money; I thought that was not possible ; it lasted well over 3 minutes!!!.

i ended up purchasing at those tasty prices, then laid back at 1.1sh which also was getting matched , then rebought again at the higher prices and even deposited more to get as much as i could while the free going was on....WE wont see anything like that again for some time-----been doing this for over 10 years and never seen it before----GLAS  was part of it, witnessed it, and cleaned up

can't be a bot though surely - reckon someone had paused it on sky plus and forgot all about it

Presume the bets matched after the game ended have to stand? BF can't void it even though the market should have been suspended and settled?

At first I thought there was a problem with a last second basket and the officials were checking with the video review (I went to the kitchen in the timeout after the three pointer, 30 seconds or so left); then I simple didn't believe even after I saw Uconn players celebrating and cutting the net of the hoop!!!

He may try to fight it on premise market should have been susp.Otherwise Looks like another player less on here.

owen----i did the same, LOL,---checking to make sure it wasnt the womens market or something else....CRAZY stuff----bets will stand, cause it was in running and nothing different from someone who has a faster pic of lets say 5 seconds, but in this case it lasted for 3-4 minutes

i would have been ok with buying at 1.01 and sopping up any gravy, but when 1.5-1.7 kept getting matched, well, like someone said earlier in the thread....a true FREE MONEY incident, unfortunately at the expense of someone else, but this is a dog eat dog site and lets just say an expensive lesson for someone

I don't think it makes sense that someone was watching a delayed feed. The way the market was spiking after the game ended didn't follow the pattern of the last few minutes of play of the actual game. UConn were never above 2.5 during the actual game but they were available at over 3 for a while after the game ended! I think it must have been a bot or some sort of glitch. There was massive amounts of money pouring in. I think over 350,000 euro was matched after the game ended and only 70,000 or so during the actual game!!!

True enough survival of the fittest, we've all been dinged before but not like this. I once caught a good one when game ended too,works both ways.

By:

nothing different from when an event is over and not suspended and 1.01's are getting hoovered up----in this case, we were all lucky to be hoovering up at LOVELY prices on an event that was already over

@owenmccarthy

yes; that was very very strange; the whole thing is strange; I've being doing this for a very long time; and this is the first time something like these has happened...

I just hope it was the same guy that laid my bet on United to beat Norwich a few seasons ago and cleaned me out.

@owenmccarthy @G -man @

and how much did you make?
By:

When: 27 Mar 11 03:13
@ G-man: It's totally different to hovering up 1.01s that are left in a market after the event is over but hasn't suspended. That happens when somebody forgets to cancel bets, etc. This was new money coming in, and LOTS of it, but at higher odds than UConn had been matched at during the whole game. Very very odd. Certainly not complaining but struggling to understand it.

glad owen and curly are here to confirm what was happeneing, because it really is an unbelievable thing, but quite easy to explain and talk about it cause you guys were in on the gravy train as well.......and owen is right about the 3.0 available after the finish, cause I got matched at that and 2.8 and even 4.5 (but only for like 6 quid at that price) way after the game ended----then got the rest at 1.5-1.7.....man, I am buzzing----wont divulge how much, but four figures

When a guy gets all his bets matched TOO quick it should spell danger to him. Probably a guy half asleep in Europe who thought the wrong team won.

I think that a great deal of the money available on connecticut was coming from the guys that had previously laid Arizona in prices as low as 1.3. They were looking to green out and repeat. That explains why conn's price was rising. Until the bot's money finished and the cycle broke

By:

When: 27 Mar 11 03:22
owen---know its totally different to hoovering up 1.01's----was just making a statement as to how the bets will stand, because nothing different from 1.01's getting matched after an in-running event, as opposed to 1.6's

....but, as you stated, the money just kept pouring in----still actually buzzing and glad i went in with head down, full force, otherwise would be regretting not copping the giveaway to its max
