Fat fingers or insider knowledge?

Yesterday in the match between Malaga and Barcelona, some odd things happend.

While i was trading the market at half time, i had some positions in on Malaga at around odds 400-800. It was not huge money, but i always have some kind of money in the market lying around at huge odds, just in case. I call this fishing. 

 

I use the same thing on horses before the off. If you scroll down on every horse in every horse race, you will see a lot of money at around 1.01-2 even though the odds of the horse is around 50 or similar. 

 

It happens a few times in a year that strange things occur in the market, and the market tend to "explode" away from the price matching money way over/under current price, before moving back to normal.

 

This thing happend yesterday on the Malaga match. 

While i was trading, some huge lay money came in on Malaga, whose odds at that time were around 55-80. The price moved to between 300-800 matching some of the money i had in these odds. At the same time a huge back bet came in on Barcelona pushing the price 2 ticks down. Around a million got matched in this little stunt.

 

So the question is, is this a huge bet comming in on Barcelona, is it fat fingers, is it a bot mistake or is it some insider knowledge? 

 

I would get surprised if there was matchfixing going on in these bigger games in Spain. 

 

 

 

I got just around 200 pound out of the market. (1791 kr)
