Working???? Maybe not
 
I just made a small fortune on Betfew. Not in my account yet though, and its pounds to pennies they'll null and void the transaction.

It can take massive amounts of money to make money using it. Eventually you get stung by something like betfair down and you can lose all your profits.

I've also seen different rules between betfair and the bookies and these sometimes cause an issue too. keep an eye out for it.
Yeah I can take a hit like that every now and then. Luckily I've never actually had a loss when an issue like this with betfair comes up. If and when it does, in the grand scheme of things it won't make any sort of significant dent which is good!

I wonder if that good thing was Crumpet O'Reilly in Ascot 6. A perfect race, $1.70 Fav, 2nd Fav $12 ??

The place market in particular should be checked in races with fewer than 8 runners.
