Not "penny pinching" at those odds - the rounding errors that let 1p layers steal money don't exist past odds of 20.

Would be interesting to know what is placing those bets though.  Curious.

Probably a would-be bot programmer who's career is over almost before it started.

is it not something along these lines:

For a price to be displayed on an early Betfair market is has to be for a minimum of £2
e.g. £2 back at 400/1 is displayed to be matched whereas a £1.99 back is not displayed. (I know you have to engineer a £1.99 back btw)

Someone who is keen to reduce the spread on a particular horse might not like the idea of a 400 priced being displayed so he lays it for a penny thereby taking the price display off the market
