Oh Dear, oh dear, oh dear!

Got any more stories to tell Matt?

Some guy laid Wolves at 400 on Betfair when they were 3-0 down. He's probably come back from walking the dog and is checking the results on Teletext as we speak. Ouch! :x

Dont really know what to say Gordon, had the misfortune to be there and can honestly say Ive never been so gutted after a match, was just devastated.

Still suffering now

Wasn't there a guy a few years ago who stuck £20k on Spurs to beat Utd when the score was 3-0 at half-time. Think he got odds of 1-20 and Utd came back to win 5-3.

Is there any way of looking at the trading history on Betfair for a market that has finished? I want to look at the trading on the Wolves match yesterday but as I didn't bet on it, I don't know how to access it.

There's no way to look at the trading history once the game has finished and the market's been settled.

I've thought for some time that Betfair should collate trading data and sell it (or, preferably, give it to me for free) as it would be a very valuable resource. You can already get statistics on goals distribution, first-half/second-half performance etc but this information would be an insight into herd mentality, how the market reacts to goals, sending-offs, the clock running down etc
