Sometimes I come to a market and theres no odds for me to take. I want to lay at a set price so put an order in but nothing. Then I wait a while and then prices start coming up at the amounts I want. So how do I get to be the one who does this, instead of having to wait.

Anyone can put back or lay offers up if that's what you mean?

IF you mean how do you set the price, a balance of a few million would help

No what I mean is say on a market like greyhounds or us racing you want to lay at odds of 6 but there are no prices at that level. Most odds are in the region 30.00 40.00 with just the fav at say 3.00. This may be 10mins or so before the race. So I wait and then the odds start changing and gradually suitable values appear so the 2nd fav comes in for 6.00 and so on. However why cant I seem to set that price, instead I have to wait for the odds to come in

They're trap bets. They dissapear when money enters the market and it becomes competitive. put an offer in lower or higher and you'll be doing the same as other people who bring the price down/up to close to it's true price.

Is that what you mean?

IF not, put up a link to a market so i can see what you're talking about
