Let the fun commence

I'll wait for the official announcement, as apparently they have a few other people to phone first. I pity the poor people doing the phoning round, they aren't exactly bearing good news

I've just been told how much the new Betfair charge would have cost me in the last 6 months.

My jaw is still on the floor...

There is something going on with Bots linked up with the prices here and Betterdack.

Set the pages up side by side,and watch the price changes.

I've just had the call. I am a smug. :-)
By:

No, it concerns anyone who wins long term, but pays less than 20% commission

The smug ones.... Well Feck is going to be pretty smug, as will those who pay huge amounts of commission and only win a small % of turnover

Are momentum traders going to be shafted Feck? :-)

Sounds like Betfair want to appropriate 20% of any profits we make. The new charge is a way of taking the difference between that figure and commission already taken.

For those who don't like it maybe I can help by passing on some advice I've been given down the years

Stop moaning

Start your own exchange

No one forces you to use betfair

Why do you hate betfair so much

If you don't like it, fk off

Hope this helps imo.

I think you'll note Feck that throughout this, I won't moan.

I'm gutted, but I won't moan

Don't be too sure Troy. I am calling for it to be back dated to 2002. ;-)

You're right Koo. Betfair have lost the plot. They need a management change not a commission change.

frames - I'll just end up paying 20%, like all the other long term winners. It makes no difference what commission you're on, if you win long term, you will be TAXED 20% of all winnings by Betfair

Have they provided an explanation for their change in stance Troy?
By:
Troy McClure
When: 08 Sep 08 10:44
Yeah, this is huge news for**, as they could well be getting a lot of liquidity coming their way.

Which then makes it even worse for those who stay on Betfair.



It could be in the end, when Feck can't get his bets matched, even he isn't happy

betquack that is.
