I posted many, many years ago on the BF forum that unfortunately I could see the future where it would come down to the few with the biggest, smartest & fastest bots just taking up most of the markets. There would be very little interaction with REAL people (punters). The proliferation of bots just going over the lay side and undercutting the back side plus the BF matching bot have seen this, in my opinion, come true. Most days I don't believe that I'm taking many bets from actual individuals, but just helping the bots to trade or do whatever it is they do. Over time my % profit has not changed much, it's the turnover that has fallen. I have remedied this by betting bigger, but sadly, for me anyway, BF is not what it used to be.
