BF have a thing they call "Liquidity Pooling". They've had it in football markets for a while. I've noticed "mirrored bets" appearing elsewhere, possibly by independent bots, but it would be uber good if BF officially operated LP in cricket and tennis markets.

As long as your bank can sustain 2^n, you'll always make money using Martingale.

I missed the replay of that final dismissal. Looked a poor one in real time.

Yeah but how many flip-fops was that? n=6 means your tenner has to become £320 just to avoid losing your fiver. I think there might have been at least that many there.

I would have thought the mirrored bets would add welcome liquidity, even if the bots are written correctly.

By "mirrored bets" (and also the idea behind "liquidity pooling") I mean a bet in one market is mirrored in a related but less liquid market, meaning that if you have a position which you want to get out of which is now equivalent to, say, a draw in the main market, then you might have enough liquidity to get out in the same market instead of having to place a separate bet in the main market and run two opposing positions (and get screwed on the commission on the winning side eve if you lose overall). I wish they'd make commission payable onnly on net winnings across all markets related to one event though - that would be a great idea for a promotion, don't you think?

probably I misunderstood tbh VV you have a good brain it is very clear :-)

Not always clear enough in the heat of the moment though!

What puzzles me is that if one side of the book is trading at say 60-70 and the other side is 1.01-1.02 why does the 60 not get matched even though 1.02s are getting laid on the other side? I thought the idea of a bet-matching algorithm was to ensure you got the best odds available on a given outcome.
