Can anyone tell me how the major MMB in the football markets manages to cancel all bets 1 second before the market suspends?

They either have live feeds to all the obscure matches and manage to beat the BF suspend monkey by 1 second consistently, or are somehow directly connected with the suspend monkey?

Could it just be that the cross matching is turned off when they suspend markets ?

I just got hoovered in the Necaxa match - the market suspended too late after the goal, not large amounts but annoying.

Does anyone know how often that happens across all events? The whole betting exchange model relies 100% on competent suspensions, without that there is no confidence.

Do Betfair operate the suspensions on all the events themselves, or contract some of them out? I'm just wondering because as said above, the main market maker cancels all bets before the market has even suspended, so perhaps they're also contracted to operate some markets? I don't know how tightly knit with BF they are?

Got hoovered yesterday as well.

Someone consistently has faster feed than Betfair on football, if it's not Betfair themselves, though the margin is rarely big enough to hoover the market.

why doesn't betfair remove the suspensions... cricket, tennis, basketball work fine without it... why does football need it?
