Default When does size really matter??

Hi All

Yesterday I tried to back a few horses for the place with a $75 stake. These selections were fav or near fav's with place odds in the range of $1.40-$2.00 on BF.

I had 5 races picked with 1 selection in each and only got $44 partially matched on one runner at $1.67 on BF about 15sec's before the jump.

So, does bet size really matter with BF? (Or could it be a problem with the bot I used?) Monday races have lower pools but I thought more money would have been available at the top end of the market so I was surprised I couldn't get $75 set for a place.

I'd be grateful if anyone could share their observations on the point at which their bets started to hit partials (or none at all).

Assuming bet's aimed at, say, a $2.50 win odds runner, what is the largest back bet you've managed for the win or place? Does the size of the betting pool effect one's chances of getting a wager set?

Thanks in advance.
