WTF

I don't really know what was going on today. I had to go out today before the end of the Chelsea game, so I didn't trade the Correct Score market, but I did so on the Bristol City v Middlesbrough and Aston Villa v Man Utd games - and everything was going haywire!

The graph here is from Bet Angel and shows the massive spikes that were occurring whilst I was trading. But these were not "real" spikes. Huge amounts of money would appear and disappear, often going right through the money I had on offer but none of it would be taken.

I don't know if this is something to do with Betfair's cross-matching or one of their bots trying out something new, but it was royally f*cking up the normal pattern of betting (which was continuing underneath all this bizarred ghostly activity).

No dramas today on the actual betting front. Nice steady profit today :-)
