Right gents, question for you. I was trading the 14:15 at Ayr today, pre race scalping. I made my profit on the second horse and greened up/ equalised the markets so I was out and my profit was safe...
..except it wasn't
The horse broke out of the stalls and ran off round the course, which albeit at the time looked quite funny to watch....until Betfair...THE SHITES..decided to close the market on that horse and rob me of my profit!!!
Has this happened to anyone else in the past? I don't understand how they can take money off you when you have cashed out of the market and fully exited your position.
Anyone else had this?

Strange again today. Markets are trading inrunning weirdly.
On to tomorrows 3.5-9.0
-
Small loss yesterday. Weird days trading.
-

-
Nothing hit today. Here are tomorrows TROBS. 3.5-9 odds range only

@cyril-reaney yes it does. Thx Cyril!

@andrew-wooding
Yes Andrew this is a useful starting point.Its also worth looking at 3 place laying when 1 is very short say 1.4 to 1.6 and the next 2 under 2.0.you need to look and see their are a couple more with chances.It is very useful where you have Unraced maidens where market is guessing.
Today their are quite a number of class 5and class6 races at Catterick which are generally good for laying .Horses at this level are unreliable in terms of repeating efforts.As an example the fav in 12 45 had failed to place in 11 previous outings..it was available to lay 3.6 up to 4.0 and around events in the place market.I find sprints 5 and 6 furlongs very good for this.
In many races on betfair there is a 2places market even in races with many runners .
Hope this helps -
Hi All.
Laying the place for the top 2 in the market, in a 5-7 runner race where only 2 places are paid. Assuming both runners are odds on for the place.Got legs? Garbage?
-
I'm not altogether sure there's much point in continuing the winning warlock lays when the site keeps failing to update. I am definitely going to look into something similar though when the horse stats become available.
-
Another point scored yesterday as one winner and one loser. Two selections today. 3.5-9.0 Odds range.

The unreliability of of this website is going to make things very difficult doing this in the real world. It's still not showing todays cards.

The website where I get these is playing up today so no selections in advance. Will look through later and see what could have been. No great shakes right now as I wouldn't be putting money on them.

Another frustrating day with 2 qualifiers and a 50/50 split.

@dan-erridge cheers for taking the time to respond Dan. Really appreciated!!
Swing trading is one for the future as I’m not yet up on trading software. DOB’ing is however something I’ve been thinking about. I have pulled together a way to identify horses which to DOB, but how to do it not for the full amount confused the shizz out of me!!
Can I DM you on that subject please?
-
One yesterday and it converted for two points profit. Two today 3.5-9 odds range

@Andrew-Wooding
Also will be even better when the BTC racing software comes out, as will help find selections alot quicker for strats like the 25% drop, i cant wait for this as these are easy to automate and leave running in background whilst you trade other things -
@andrew-wooding
Hi mate, have you tried pre race swing trading? it takes some time to master but can be very profitable, also dont need to know anything about the horses really as you are trading the market not the runners. Or theres the D.O.B OR 25% in running, where you set your trade and look for price to drop or drift a certain amount in play, so say back at 8, exit in running at 6 for an equal profit, just a few ideas there for you, as i say not easy, but just start on very small stakes, say 10p and watch the markets and you pick up little things, then as you get better/more confident increase your stakes
