Does Smarkets have a cheeky script to move prices?

Go find a market that has had very little volume and has uncompetitive prices. Click on one of the prices. Is it just me or does the price tend to change unfavourably when you do this? Ive tried it a bunch of times and almost half the time as soon as i click the price, before i have even entered a stake, the price shifts. Is this a bot or something snooping on my clicks?

Me neither, although I have noticed something similar on the Will Hills iOS app – for horses it shows one price on the race page and gives you an altogether different price in the betslip (normally a lower price). This isn’t some mid-click price change, there is no flashy warning about a change in odds, it’s just a plain and simple incorrect price shown on the race page. Makes getting last minute bets on a bloody nightmare sometimes

Ive noticed this wottsy, the second you try to take a price, it disappears.

Perhaps smarkets just updates the odds slowly and trying to take a price updates the page?

Or, perhaps smarkets use bots to put fake liquidity into a market, leading a match bettor to commit to a back bet and then have to offer odds to match their lay, thus creating the liquidity they thought was already there!

@wottsy your post reminded me a bit of this video I recently watched on you tube regarding exchange trading. I don’t know if its the exchange doing this, or if it is someones bot operating. Its quite interesting never the less.
