The reason I mentioned about the different calculation is because it is very easy to understand how you can suddenly gets 20k matched, its probably just a few small bets at large odds!https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/26634177/purple-changes-commission-structure?post_id=481751029#481751029So how do you know it's not a genuine bet, out of interest?
