Amathus - 1000

100 would have looked too short 50 yards out :)

I did it small 1st & 4th place, solely on the jockey riding.

Nice. Jockey looked tidy enough.

whole day ? 

He had at least had six rides, somewhere, this season. 

Amazing.

Amazing.

never quite a 1000 shot in that kind of race, although admittedly he never really looked like winning 'til last stride.

was me that laid it..40yds coming forward and ev penny done @1000...not sure why im persisting tbh..i wouldnt stand for it in any form of my life.

found another leg with a few yards left, probably a winning bet more than 1000 times. no consolation though

cistern's broke, the X-matcher weighted in favour of the backer(?), not the layer(X), or does it mysteriously go to a.n.other. Unless you know what the backer got we can only speculate. Someone else(?) is accumulating.

F.Tett  regular rider here in Jersey, top lad rides plenty winners here, he rides all over Europe regularly with lots of success.

Swifty - what did you mean about the cross-matcher?  Apologies, couldn't work it out.

the benefactor was Paddi 110%.

longbridge, I was referring to X-matcher and best execution and if it's weighted to favour backers (v layers) or someone else completely!

Is Betfair “active” in these markets/are Betfair running a bot?
Matching customers bets is what Betfair does. When there is a bet request with Cross-matching, Betfair looks at all the customer bet requests it could be matched against, not just opposing bets on the same selection.

As part of the cross-matching process, Betfair uses an internal account which acts as a counterparty to the bets being cross-matched.

As part of the cross-matching process, Betfair uses an internal account which acts as a counterparty to the bets being cross-matched for our benefit with worst price execution everytime.

One things for certain their horse racing profits haven't been sustained from commission/EF charges on dwindling liquidity in the markets so something doesn't add up.

Don't know if it makes you feel any better but I bet the 1000, it wasn't anything internal.

He’d feel better if you returned his money!

He'll be chuffed. Out of interest Biscar what price were you asking for?

I asked for 28 seemingly

so you got 35x what you requested, rico got 2.5x (or more) worse if laying at 390. I think we have the answer of who wins.

i clicked a fiver at 1000 mebbe 40yds out..it was only 1/2L down but wasnt gona get there...fill and kill after 0.5 so my money isnt lying there for someone to snaffle.

post the bet biscar so i can see the bet reference please.

Don't hold your breath Rico

1/2L down and theres not a penny in the system apparently but i get matched the lot at 1000?

A bad bet will be matched Rico as you know

rico the trouble with that is you are not taking on a punter head to head, you are taking on the X-matcher/those that are closing positions etc.

im well aware of who is matching me swifty..999 times out of 1000 i click to lay £5 @1000 i get 20 bets of under 5p and £4.60 @1000 matched regardless of the price on screen which id frequently less than 100.
but on this occasion a punter has clicked to bet the winner less than 0.5 of a sec after my lay asking for 28 and gets the lot done @1000.

of course the bet reference will confirm its authentic.

had a bf customer service agent on fone at 4pm for 20 mins..and another at 7pm for 20 mins..and 2 emails

absolute comedy gold..never thought i'd say it but i cant wait to get rid of this absolute shower of faeces.

can you see a time stamp to the second?

bet reference will confirm.

Visit the royal city of Amathus with Rico.

was looking at the replay on Twitter next thing down was this

Placed: 23-Jul-25 14:17:15 I got matched at 110 in the same bet so nothing between 110 and 1000.

we all assumed you were inferring you got 1000...
how far out did u submit your bet? whats your bet reference number?

I had a total of £7 matched at average 745.71, inside the last 50 yards.
Submitted at 28 so the only money there was 110 and the 1000.

whats your bet reference number?

I backed it the night before - aunt eye clefer?

That’s Rico’s £5k then!

@swifty

"I was referring to X-matcher and best execution and if it's weighted to favour backers (v layers) or someone else completely!"

It ought to favour the freshly-placed bet over the unmatched sitting waiting - as that's what non-cross-matched best execution does?
