If you make markets at the quiet times, you have to make many price changes per matched bet. BF count each price change as a cancellation and a new bet.
Of course you aren't costing them any money, as the machines have vast spare capacity at such times. It's just nonsense. |

As to the spoofing, as the txn charge takes no account of number of markets, people can spoof away all they like, so long as they don't do it in a large number of markets.
Those who try to do legitimate activities across many markets are penalised. Dishonest people will get round the problem by using false identities, no doubt. Price agility is necessary to get out of the way of the inside info boys with their "gambles", otherwise you would just be donating. |

What does spoofing mean?

Moonlight, I did suggest when transaction charges first came in that they were only applied at times when the system was actually under stress. It would be quite simple to implement a call that returned whether transaction charging was in force to enable bots to throttle their activity accordingly.
Maybe it doesn't apply to enough people to make it worthwhile? |

Does it make a difference if the market's quiet? If you're sending thousands of requests for the 6.00 race at 3.00, do the requests for the 3.00 market not get lost among the 6.00 requests?

Rocket, spoofing refers to putting up large offers in the hope it will shift the market in the other direction. e.g. requesting to back at 5.0 for 2K in the hope of shortening the odds.

They won't know, as people will avoid the charge by shutting down, as I do. It's just another ill-designed BF innovation. |
