Can anyone explain how BF's SP product works?
Lets say I want to bet $100 on a horse, and in total there is $1000 of other punters money wanting to back this horse at SP. However, there is only $600 available from people wanting to lay this horse.
How do they decide who gets there bet matched or who misses out? Is it simply a queue that decides it, ie whoever placed there bet first gets matched first? Is there anyway to tell how much is available to be bet on each horse? It is a tempting option as I am only betting Sat metros these days, and like the idea of setting and forgetting, but am worried about not being matched.
Anyone able to shine some light?
Cheers
