ping/round trip/latency

Hi could anyone confirm ( or not ) my suspicions .I have been tick trading on the ladder ( £ 2 ) as I am in cautious learning phase and notice the mere £ 2 seems to be in the que a long time as money comes and goes and sometimes small parts ( pennies ) out of this sum are matched before the full amount is matched. Am I right in thinking that this is more than likely due to a not so reliable broadband connection ,I feel that any larger amounts would be an all day job to be matched. I'm currently waiting for fibre broadband another 10 days .Also the markets are decent liquidity and should swallow this amount no problem and not in small bits . Gruss seems to be working ok no probs logging on loading up etc. Thanks for any comments .

A poor internet connection wouldn't affect how the bet was matched once it had reached the market. Seems more likely it's down to cross matching or maybe other bots nibbling the bet. Are the bets placed a while before the off time as usually near the off you shouldn't have any problem having that £2 bet matched in one go especially as the liquidity flows quickly near the off especially for lower priced stuff, outsiders on certain markets can still take a while to get fully matched though just cos few either want to play them or put high volumes thru for little returns.

Thanks for the reply Captain ,and informing me of the x matching malarkey, which I have been reading up on . D idnt realise money was moved about in such ways . All I can say is , Oh dear the possibilities are endless .
