Had OB LA DE layed at 2.9, it hit 2.00 for a few hundred, but only a couple of quid taken from my bet,  very odd.
Has anybody else had that happen in running?

In-running is opened to abuse or manipulation. I've had 'lay' bets unmatched despite the in-running odds were well below my set target of 1.35 eg 1.25 (matched). Ironically, this would only happen when the selection had won; unmatched when the selection had lost.

Hence, I do not play it anymore.

Your experience seems odd but with some markets there are very few players. I have had instances of backing horses in France at 4 or 5 and putting up a lay at 2 to get out in running as I usually do. The horse won on at least 2 occasions but the lay was not taken. Nobody else there?

Mine were competitive and prestigious races and mainly Saturdays in the UK. For it to happen once I'd accept it. I'd put it down to being unlucky; twice and more I'd say "dodgy" esp 'lays' on losing selections.

it hit 2.00 for a few hundred

Where are you getting this? According to BF the lowest it hit was 4.2 ( which seems a little high, but a held up horse nearest finish, but never likely to get there, isn't trading at 2 for a few hundred imo)

seems to happen consistently on a Friday. Laid the field at 3.85 . Two horses Social Symbol and Sale Sharks bets disappeared with Sale Sharks trading below 3.85 Somebody somewhere seems to be able to cancel lay bets. Third Friday this has happened

In-running is crooked. Stay away. If President Trump could influence / cancel a suspension in the World Cup insiders at Betfair could easily manipulate the in-running market. The insiders at Betfair are the judge and jury. There's also no known redress for in-running. I do not think IBAS will get involve either.

Play in-running at your peril.
