If you use Betfair SP with a limit then you can expect to get fleeced. But not as much.

BSPs have been matched @~1.01.

So all a fleecer has to do is offer lays much lower than true odds.

On occasions those will be matched by the Betfair SP algorithm.

Particularly for large SP bets.


I think you are confusing Betfair SP with betting in running where people will offer 1.01 for a horse that looks to be the certain winner and as much as 1000 for a horse that looks like a certain loser.

Like Bookmakers SP, Betfair SP is based on the prices generally available just before the off.
