Is to give Betfair's In-play cross-matching bot a chance to hoover up?

And that's because the entire Betfair system is built on the wrong technology.
Their system should be a 'push' system and not one where the user polls the Betfair servers. On the other hand by slowing things down it does give Betfair the opportunity to front run and do all manner of unsavoury things for which Betfair staff have already been sacked once discovered. One day someone will write a book about all the stuff thats gone on behind the scenes at Betfair towers. And much of it is very unsavoury indeed. The basic problem is that this whole sports exchange concept is not properly regulated and probably never will be.
