Could this be done?

[stichel]

Is it possible to setup a back-bet at lower odds as the current back odds are?
My idea is to back the field but only if the back odds reach for example 2.50.
I have watched many markets where at least two horses reached this odds mark.
If you could be matched at 2.50 at every horse that reach this odds mark (min. 2 horses) it would be possible to make a guaranteed profit.
Could someone help?

in a word "no". this has been asked many times before. the answer is you will always get matched at highest price, and if you place a bet when the price reaches 2.0 the delay in the bet being placed will result in you being matched at any odds from 1.01 to 1000.
