I have noted this recently. small amounts matched to provide, apparently neither a gain or a loss. Matches at 3.0 can also be seen on 3 selection markets. So what is the rationale for this, is somebody picking up pennies?
Matches can be seen on these 3 markets.

People don't seem to know the answer. It does not have to be evens and evens on a 2 selection market. or 3.0, 3.0 and 3.0 on a 3 selection market.
As quick as a flash I recognised that 4.5, 4.5 & 1.8 provides a theoretical no profit/no loss as can currently be seen on the England V Ghana substitutes used market. http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=102467397&ex=1&origin=MRL Somebody is stealing roundings, I am convinced. |

Hi there Alex, i noticed this today as well.
It was some completely random U21 game and the home, back and away prices were all 1.01 and there was no value for any lay prices. I noticed that £5 had been matched so i decided to have a look to see where it had been matched (no idea why i must have been a bit bored at the time). I noticed that £2 had been matched on the home team, draw and away team at a price of 3.0 in all instances. I assumed that it was someone maybe just testing something, but other than that have no idea. Most strange. |

Yes, they are picking up pennies. If I'm backing at 1.02, and someone takes 20p laying at 1.02, they will either lose nothing, or win 20p.
