how the hell is taxing any punter at a level beyond minimal impact useful ? as a reintroduction ?
go for it if the gov thinks you'll have to cope with it... No idea what you mean. |

I would welcome state tax on profit.
And the loss of liquidity? |

People who don't understand the pc think the supposed 20% better odds is wiped out by the "20% commission". What would they make of 25% tax on top of that?
................. good stuff this....I'd far rather someone like you that clearly can only make it pay by fleecing the average pre Horse race mug at least pays for the enjoyment. |

There already is a state tax on profit. Betfair pay it, it's called Corporation Tax. Labour took the decision to abolish Gambling Tax in the hope that gambling would stay onshore and boom, and they'd be able to tax the profits of gambling companies. It also goes down a treat with their core vote, of course.
Some suggestions on here are plain daft: One obvious initial way to make in running betting fairer is to state a policy that is a bet cannot win it will be voided i.e. void bets on fallers. Not practical. It would destroy in-running trading on horse racing. One faller and you've no idea what your position is. None of this is practical. Either you ban in-running altogether, or you assume we're all adults and allow everything. Just make sure everyone knows it's not "fair". "The Fairness of Inrunning Betting" is not the real issue, it's "The Transparency of Fairness of InRunning Betting". |

which i all for fair in running betting so why not pay all pc money on real live tv for all and i am very sure worldwide will get stuck in it not today i say i hope it will be like i say 5 years ago oh forget it maybe 10 years time in every real live tvs of the world and i can see betfair grow 10,000folds due to too many untapped markets with real live china usa what ever all on tvs wow golden ages of 2015 or hi tech in every room worldwide got betfair that how big it can grow but i feel seeding is elsewhere due to % due to the pushing away and not gaining on fun bets etc |

interesting thoughts from people on his thread....my thoughts are that betfair is a good thing and makes people money through various strategies, including in running betting.
Fair? Life is not fair....it' not fair that my boss earns 30k per year more than me and does nothing. The only solution is to change what you do, be clever and find ways that make you money. Lobbeying for changes of rules because they don't suit your world is a waste of energy in my opinion. rant over. carry on. |

Panorama: Betfair is a bookmaker?
Betfair: Yes. Panorama: Is it true you lay dead horses, accept bets on losers after the result is known, accept ir bets when play has went against the punter but knock them back if play has went their way while waiting? Betfair: Yes, but we also accept lays on dead horses, bets on winners after the result is known and allow some ir punters to cancel their bets if play's went against them. Panorama: Is "yes I stabbed the innocent passer by m'lord but someone had stabbed me earlier" a valid defense? Betfair: We also contribute to gamcare. Panorama: So you mug people but contribute some of the money to a victem support line? Betfair: We also have MOU's with all sports so we can help expose **ing. Panorama: Wouldn't it be wise to sort out your own **ing first? Betfair: Leave us alone. You are nasty people trying to spoil the fun for others. Panorama: Why do you allow bookmakers to accept bets that have already lost? GC: We think it's OK if the bookmaker's terms and conditions warn the people placing the bets that their bet may have already lost. Panorama: I though the purpose of the GC was to ensure fairness in gambling? GC: We think it is fair. Panorama: But surely if you can't win at the time the bet is placed then you can't lose? GC: Go away you nasty people. Why are you trying to spoil things for us and our good friends? |

I agree and disagree with Feck on various issues.
But is anyone else surprised that he's not been banned yet? |
|
By:
(of course, if he works for Betfair then he wouldn't be).
|

It wouldn't be the first time betfaiy (although it would for criticism of betfair).

feck should never be banned - he is a complete fool who makes me laugh every day with his hilarious views on in running :)
