For every horse race there is always a wager for 1.01 & 1.02 % risk on every horse to win.
Other bets for a horse at 1:1 odds for 50-1 risk.

Do you actually think that these bets are booked enough for these people to make it worth their effort posting these bets?

Should I hire a kid to do this too?
After all of these years you would think they would tired of doing this work?

Curious????

It is just a bot doing it. Not something you would be proud to tell anyone you did it though.

Yeah, I though that just after I posted. The program still cost $149. Still wonder if they get lucky and hit % per day?

[chance]

We have all made mistakes entering bets so they probably pick up a little loose change here and there.

I was at a Betfair function prior to a cricket match about 18 months ago and another horse punter asked one of the Betfair managers about this. So the bot has obviously been doing it's thing for a while now.

If they didn't make money they wouldn't do it. Simple as that.

Only two people do it for most races as the prebet amounts are always the same.
One guy for 1.01 and One guy for 1.02
Maybe I should get in there for 1.03

Not related to the op, but, milos raonic is offering 1.36 at betfair, if i request 1.40 what are the chances it gets matched? i've only had one bet matched and that was .02 difference.

almost guaranteed

OK then, on an average, how much can you UP the odds and get them matched! what if i requested .10 more than whats auto accepted at the time?

every event is different
10c from 1.30 to 1.40 is huge expectation
10c from 5.50 to 5.60 is nothing

and always check what's on offer elsewhere as a guide to what's likely .. you may have left this one a bit late but more often than not if you're not too greedy you'll get more than the books are betting by placing bids earlier

Aren't you a trader? jump in and accept my odds request!

For all your stalking of my posts you really have little understanding of me do you? One would have thought you'd have realised by now that I'm not a trader, arber, scalper or bonus whore.

Thats funny coming from you!

I've written many Betfair bots in my time and I can tell you that you will need to come up with your own angle if you want to be successful. Copying someone else is a recipe for disaster.

Those ones you see at 1.01, if you offer 1.02 the bot will just move up to 1.03 and so on until it reaches it's predetermined limit...but what happens if you forgot to set a limit and you end up getting matched at 1.50 for a horse that is only worth 1.30? Then you're in trouble and will lose money in the long run.

Most horse races on Betfair do go "live in play" and at some point one of the horses is a fair price .. even @ 1.01 .. the first person to have offered 1.01 is the first person to get matched at that price ...

.. and they do sometime also lose after matching @ 1.01 .... http://www.gubbage.com/
