Forgetting about juice, and assuming markets are pretty much efficient, the probability is 1 / (2^30), which is about 1 in a billion.

My grandfather used to be a blacksmith,
he used to tell the story about the time the price
of shoeing a horse went up from 2 bob to half a crown.
The local big farmer objected ,
so he said ' I'll charge you 1/2d for the first nail and
double it for each nail after, you can keep count as I
bang them in, and I'll only charge you for one nail- the last one'
Now, there are 7 nails in each shoe so the farmer started
to get a bit nervous after only 2 shoes...

If it can't be done, lay it. Seriously though, it has happened on the roulette wheel apparently, but no it's not feasable and you would be totally wasting your time and money :)

I think this is correct just the difference commission makes is astonishing!


2,576,343.28 at a 5% commission rate.

Don't Betfair round up comission, if so you'd still be on 1p after the monthLaugh

You would in fact not pay any comms until day 5.

Then you would be hammered as you should be paying 0.8p
but it will be rounded up to 1p.

That will really hurt!

i seriously doubt anyone would be on 5 percent after day 29.
