Obviously if you are paying PC you are paying 20%. So do the commission points you have built up not matter then? You still pay the full 20% right??

yes it does matter, implied commission means that you never pay as little as 20% of your gross actual profits in actual charges but demonstrating that simply is not easy

in a nutshell - the more points you have, the closer to the mythical 20% you can get

So realistically, PC payers are paying more than the 20% commission??

the main reason it matters pulio is that the difference between 2% and 5% is crucial to marginally successful systems and intra-site arbing - which are the two main (legitimate) ways of avoiding PC.

finding a system with a 4% edge is not twice as hard as finding one with a 2% edge; it's massively more difficult.

imo

if you placed small bets and they always won, but you never got away from paying 5% comm then you end up with 22.5% deducted from your gross profits in total charges

(this figure will only apply to profits after you have met conditions about min number of markets, and used up the £1k allowance)
