New Posts For Thread: Betfair now charging over 5% commission?????https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/29310485/betfair-now-charging-over-5-commissionI've not been on betfair for a while but I just checked my statement for yesterday and on some correct score markets I've been charged between 5.11 and 5.33% commission. Presumably another update by them to maximise profits following the premium charAll users have to pay at least 20% commission don't they? The only way around it is if you win a few times then never come back.https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/29310485/betfair-now-charging-over-5-commission?post_id=522924903#522924903All users have to pay at least 20% commission don't they?
