Does anyone think that there is a limit to PC above the current 20% or if indeed 20% is the limit?

Assuming that you win every time at 5% commission then limit would be 96% of winnings cos you would have generated 4%.

How does trading affect PC. If you won every trade say £2 a day for a year or 2 how would pc kick in

Winning £14 per week with any losses is the same as having a single winning bet Of £14. ( 5% comm) Gross Profit___£14 Generated_Comm 35p PC_due_________£2.45 This means that your £1,000 allowance would last 408 weeks |

would it be correct to say you need to get overall tradung profits of around £6666 before you get into pc territory then its time to start a new account?

Getintheir,
That would be correct if the £6,666 was won over a period of time without ever having a losing bet or trade. The example above shows what would happen if £14 were won every week without losing. If the £14 profit was due to winning £114 and losing £100 there would be no PC to pay. For anyone who still does not know how to calculate there weekly PC liability open up a blank spreadsheet then: Sum all your winning markets pre-commission for the week into cell A1 Sum all your losing markets for the week expressed as a positive value into cell B1 Commission into cell C1 In any other cell copy and paste =0.2*(A1-B1)-((A1*C1/2)+(B1*0.015)) If the answer is a negative value then your PC liability is zero, You do not get a rebate Weekly pre-commission profit is A1-B1 and Commission already paid is (A1-B1)* C1 |

But surely simply by trading , even if every trade wins overall part of that trade is awinning bet and part is losing , how is this calculated in PC.

The maximum PC is 17.5% of GP.
Maximum PC+commission is 22.5% of GP paid (20% generated) This is what would be paid by someone on 5% commission who wins every market. Of course if you pay PC and then lose, the maximum has no bounds. |

To clarify, I paid 25% in commission+PC in 2009. This happened because I had a losing month in December, bringing up the share of GP paid to Betfair.
