I kindly ask to someone who has rhe answer to this question:
yesterday night at 2.01 a.m. I sent an order of 700 euros to be layed at the odd of 1.25.
That time my 700 euro to lay were in queque at the sum of 47,000 euros approx.
There were approx 50,000 in the opposite box at the odd of 1.26 ("people" that would back at 1.26)
The sum till traded at 1.25 was of 30,000 approx, and (much more) 186,00 traded at 1.26.
This morninng I see that at 1.25 have been traded 121,000 euros but my 700 euros are still waiting to be matched.
Now I see only two chance about:
1) some customers has the right to get bet matched befor the others (not placing their bet at the end of queque but before)
2) the sum displayed of the available money at 1.25 odd was higher ( a sort of hided money that really was in queque before mine).
That's my question , I would really appreciate reply of which is much more betfair expert than me.
Thanks

Neither 1 nor 2 is correct.

Betfair count both the backers and layers money in the amount that is traded at a price.
This mean that the 91 k traded during the night is only 45.5 k of layers money. Therefore you will be almost first in line on the lay side now.
