floating point error (though it's lazy of BF to display it) or a new hulk theory of how hulk is being cheated?

floating point error ?? did you just make that up
to me that would appear as if bets are allocated a price which will make no difference to the return but will ensure they're not getting matched until everything at 4.7 has disappeared |

 An attention seeker may have a personality disorder, such as histrionic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder. However, attention-seeking behavior can also be associated with other causes including poor self-esteem, narcissism, and loneliness |

"floating point error ?? did you just make that up"
No hulk, I'm a lifelong technology professional. Binary (which is what computers use internally) cannot exactly represent floating point numbers (ie numbers with a decimal point in them, like BF odds or stakes). So you get things like (eg) "4.700000000000000001 instead of 4.7". Normal practice would be to mitigate this by only showing a limited number of decimal places so the error is not so apparent to the user. |
