Let's get more volume on the asian handicaps, shall we? Betting on the AH your commission is 0.75%, compared to 5% when betting on 'match odds'. You can always get the same bet on the AH and pay way less commission.
It's mindblowing that I could only get $50 matched on Chile +0.5 when the exact same bet is trading for thousands at the exact same price in a market where you have to pay 5x+ in commission.

Vicious circle ain't it. No liquidity = no fresh liquidity = no liquidity.

Never looked into AH before but lookin on the brazil Honduras game I can see how useful they could be. Brazil -2.5 above evens. Got to worth a punt surely. 26k liquidity too

themover,
You could always bet the other side in the match odds market .. unless you initially bet you full balance on the AH, then I guess you're out of luck.
0.75% commission people. Over many bets, the $ you save adds up.

Very smart Yapi, totaly agree with You. But there is one problem. If people raise liquidity on asian market, be sure betfair will raise commision...

Possibly, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it ..

Couldn't agree more OP. Everyone please switch and persist with AH and they will take off.


BUT WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS BETFAIR TO STICK WITH THE DISCOUNT LONG TERM!!

If you like AH the best places to bet are Pinnacle and the Asian bookmakers. No commission at all, no premium charge and small margins so you always get a good deal.

I do use those books, YOMOMMA, but sometimes you can get a better price on the Betfair AH markets (even after commission).

bump for CL games !

Very weak minor markets, just had a look at the clean sheets in
the Celtic match. Virtually non existent.
