Time to give up trading?

"forcing prices to drift well above bookies odds."

--------------------------

Are you talking just TRADING - solely on here ....

or Arbing Bookies prices?

yep I noticed that  , unusually large amounts in weak races appear suddenly forcing drifts and thought it odd myself given amounts , in races where you were hard pushed to get three figures high 4 figures were suddenly appearing

2 or three in some races last time had a good play and outwith first three in betting occasionally , strange considering class of race

Surely the question to be asked is why Betfair stand by and allow blatant market manipulation by no contribution trading parasites with no other agenda than to scalp their own customers.

Activity seeking to manipulate the market is now allowed on other trading platforms in the City under any circumstances - why is it acceptable on this exchange...?

"now allowed"  = "NOT allowed" - methinks

Sorry, yes 'not allowed'...

I 'new' what you meant.

Aye okay , feck the context wrangle

what we goin to do about getting our P 2 P exchange back

Why worry about it,surely take advantage?

I wonder what all the £20 punters that Betfair are spending fortunes advertising for would think if they knew that Betfair have invited legions of ticket tout like scalpers on to the site with no other agenda than to get in between them and their matcher and steal a slice of the winners' profits...

I agree with OP , pretty risky now when you cant even guage the amount ahead of you in a class 6

Theres a limit you will go to to balance things but not these amounts
