just to show how thick i really am iv'e only just noticed this, when backing a longshot allways click on the horse and look at what prices are available in the left hand column they might be quite a lot higher than the screen price this is because there is only £1.99 available, if you then ask for that price you get £1.99 matched.sorry if i'm not explaining this very well , as an example today i was placing my system bets and one happened to be a longshot the best price showing was 85 so i had a look to see what the best priced matched was and noticed it was showing there was £2 @ 590 available so i put 590 in odds required and got £1.99 matched, ive now done this a couple of times and it seems you only get matched if you ask for the exact price because there is not the full £2, if you click on the 85 available and place your bet of £2 it matches at 85 as thats the highest price with the full £2 available. have a look out for this you might get better prices this way
