How much commission do Betfair charge on winning bets? 100 percent?

5% of 50p is 2.5pence. 2.5 is rounded to the nearest penny, ie 3p. Hence you pay a higher comm rate. If it were 2.4, you'd only pay 2p so on average it's fair and you dont lose out. Frnakly, if you care about the odd ha'penny you should reconsider your strategy :)
