Step 1: placing 15 eur back bet at 4.0, hoping that bet will instantly match with available 262 eur at 4.8

Step 2: attempt failed. Canceling the bet:

262 eur at 4.8 mystically reappear!

Repeat steps 1-2 multiple times for having good times of fun.

Interesting. Clearly the cross-matcher misbehaving in some way rather than anybody taking down bets. I know there are specific rules for the cross-matched in Aus markets such as Betfair being forced to repay any (or some, I'm not sure if it's all) profits gained through it. It could well be that the functionality of it is slightly different as well.

From your screen shots it appears that the cross matcher is correctly showing the inverse amounts but to correctly matching your bet when you place it (you should be being matched against the 1.26 on Melbourne Victory).

Looks like a bug to me.

Sorry "but NOT correctly matching your bet" rather than "but to correctly matching your bet"

Thank you jabmast! I've performed calculations and this is indeed crossmatching bug.
