Wherever the money was, it came back! The match ended 1-1 - my earlier post about silly starts refers! As you can see by full time over £12k had been matched on Correct Score, and I made over £20 from my original £9 stakes - with a nice wad sitting on 2-1 and 1-2 should it have gone either way.
Perhaps the lesson to be learnt here is that there are occasions where it is better to get involved in the second half of matches - I wouldn't mind betting that most of that £8k traded in the second half was people scalping the 1-1 having decided the draw was looking likely.
Don't forget the way Betfair calculate their matched volumes would mean the end of the game would see a sharp increase in volumes matched (as soon as the price goes under evens). Betdaq would be the other way around with higher volumes traded at the start (when longer odds). I would guess there was a steady amount matched throughout the game in reality.
