they don't change prices for individual customers, they'd be the same for everyone, if they wanted to restrict you they'd restrict how much you can put on.
they have for scan coventry 2/9 1.5 leeds 1/6 real sociedad 1/4 bologna 1/3 lyon 4/11 all shorter others accounts but mine is bigger surely this isnt legal
I can’t understand what he trying to say. I’ve read it several times too.
kenbo they are offering me way under-cut prices on 1.5 goals on sportsbook than everyone else
On Sportsbook I’m seeing
Coventry 1/4
Leeds 1/5
Real Soc 1/4
Coventry 1/4
Leeds 1/5
Real Soc 1/4
Every price you have posted is shorter than what I’m seeing.
That’s a bit dodgy. Can anyone else see what prices they’re seeing on the Sportsbook?
Post a screenshot of over 2.5, Xaar, see if they vary too.
A few are the same price. Other ones on yours are fractionally shorter. Still seems very wrong.
i know right, i checked the 2.5 earlier and it was a lot worse and adjusted a bit, maybe a lot of people haven't noticed this going on.
Coventry has just gone 2/9 under and 3/1 over. Completely different overrounds compared with your first screenshot. I’m guessing the prices are worse on the app.
Quite a difference at the moment, Xaar. I’d imagine yours has changed a lot since then.
Not sure what you mean by that, Loui.

kenbo ive discovered a weird thing, see my betfair page keeps switching to this new site they are launching im one of the 50% to test the cr"p, and it cuts my prices, but on the days its on the old site it normal. like wtf betfair
real madrid 1.5 1-9 my account on new site 1-14 surely this illegal pricing???
i know kenbo, after nearly 20 years betting on here this is the last straw for me, I don't know what's going on, I have been on chat and they are useless, they also said the new sites have been rolled out for everyone and cannot be rolled back, its absolutely brutal whoever idea it was needs sacking.
i have a friend who is the same hayden on the new site, why would they have cut my prices i honestly don't know.
on chat is like trying to get blood from a stone, is everyone from India ffs
Can't be anything other that an attempt to restrict your business can it mate , what's your p/l like on those markets ?
Not sure it's relevant but i've never had a football bet on any site , so i'm seen as a clean punter maybe , i'm guessing.

ive had a few wins last month, but well down, scum of the earth so they are since the Americans bought them out, I honestly hope they fail
its weird tho hayden, when i clear my cookies and cache it will return to old site and I'll get the normal prices, then maybe it will login new site and the cut prices appears, I don't know its very weird.

Ha Ha I got sent an e mail from Bet £3.65 a couple of months ago; more or less the exact same wording obviously with their name on rather than betfair; wonder if there is any connection ?

They send loads of emails about "loyalty" "bonus" and "responsible gambling".
I did all 3 and they sent me this one.

Interesting if BF really are offering different prices to different customers.
I have often thought that doing so would be the better solution than stake-factoring.
Rather than showing a price and then refusing to take bets at that price, or restricting to pennies, show the price you are actually prepared to take?

hmmm seems like bait and switch to me. ie the advertised price odds checker/not logged on disappears when the customer requests it (perhaps after having deposited). If the Gambling Commission gave a tiny fck about its statutory obligation to make gambling fair, they would step in and stop the practice.
I’ve never seen a page like the one Xaar has posted. If I look on Sportsbook there’s a lot of yellow, no black or blue. Is that the app? Are other people using the app seeing the same or different prices? I’d have thought tailor made prices for each individual would be difficult to do, it’s probably not as hard as I first thought.
Xaar can’t be a lone case in this.

dave - how is that worse than showing a price (logged out or logged in) and then refusing to take bets at that price?
kenbo its the new site it was rolled out to 50% of customers, ive been on chat and they confirmed its permanant and everyone will have it soon, its one of the worst ideas ever and whoever is over it should be sacked, its far harder to navigate, for me i back 1.5 goals market a lot and you need to go into each game to get odds, weird thing is it has been going back to old site the odd day and i get normal prices but this past few days stuck on new one, this has gone on for about 6 weeks or more.
when i clear cache and cookies it comes back but i click on anything the new crap comes up
With you, thanks.
TBF even the ‘good’ o1.5 prices are terrible. You’d need to backing plenty of them in an acca to get any kind of price worthy of a punt. Of course that just higher the chances of throwing in a 1-0 or 0-0. Not a bet I’d ever bother with.

Xaar, I'm on the new website too, but presumably you don't actually bet on the sportsbook, just use it for looking at prices? I mean their prices are some of the worst I've seen. You can use oddschecker or other bookie sites to look at prices.
kenbo im a glutton for punishment lol ive backed these kinda bets for years, 20 fold mug accas 
you'd be surprised the amount of times you will win or get into a good cashout position, do 2.5 btts as well.trevh i have for years they are the same for what i bet on more or less, whos better in your opinion.

its sad you cant get the advertised price, trevh the new site is an absolute diaster, mess
Xaar, personally I wouldn't use any bookmaker, but if I did I would check around to see who's offering the best price.
Does anyone actually make long term profit from a bookmaker? Must be one in a million?

Apparently the legality of that is based on contract law, offers/counter offers. And clearly the punter hasn't been disadvantaged by the refusal to take the bet. Giving individual prices that are lower than the market is grossly disadvantaging the punter, is exploitation and should breach the ukgc's statutory objectives.

A 20 fold acca at average odds of around 1/10 only pays 11/2. I wouldn’t want to try and land 20 legs for such a small return. I’ve no doubt the o2.5 and btts accas pay much much more.
kenbo i try for odds of 2/5 to maybe 1/6, I've had a 25 fold twice, i mix and match them 2.5 btts, for small stakes can win nice
Interesting thread. I can't shed any light on why you're getting different prices. I just wanted to say that the new website is a giant steaming pile of elephant shyte. Whoever designed it needs dragging out and hung from the nearest tree.
AKsooted agreed and i bet they were paid handsomely for it one of the main reasons I used betfair is the site is great this will end it for me, I don't know how other users feel because the forum is so dead, be great to hear other input.
