Do any gamblers know of any normal commission avoidance strategies that would see us paying the privileged rate on profits that the traders and cheats are given?

Never heard of this privelege rate, what is it and how do you get it? I'm a trader but not consistently winning.

the best way to avoid all current charges is to be a full time forum poster. :-)

Green up or red out every single market Feck, that should help. I reckon the proliferation of green up buttons was one of the factors that led to PC lol

It's a pity we couldn't get everyone to do that Fred. It would maybe make them value their gamblers more. You wonder what posessed betfair to let traders and cheats bet virtually free for 8 years and then decide that they'd still charge them less than everyone else.

That`s one big chip you have on your shoulder Feck.Have a day off ,you might not be so bitter then.

Feck, I expect they will increase the PC, as is normal
with the intro of a new charge. Only they know the effect the PC has, so far. |

Just over 10 years ago petrol was just over 50 pence a litre, my council tax was about £500 a year instead of £2500 and my gas and electric was £50 a month instead of £200 a month plus you could get a decent bet on at the bookies on athletics without any problem at all.

can anyone remember the film groundhog day this thread reminds me of it i feel the thread starter needs new material myself and perhaps needs to reflect on things its bad for you to go through life bitter you only live once perhaps you should concentrate your efforts on something more positive your obviously a clever intelligent person why use that on so much negativety when you would get much more from doing something positive.

The best commission reduction strategy for a profitable gambler is to maximize your unfair advantage by trading out.

Medemi's input is sorely missed on this forum....
You will be asking which is the best trading software next, Feck |

I didn't expect an answer to the original question Muqbil. The number of replies suggests I'm not the one who's seething.
Medemi (among others) certainly missed though. |

The privileged rate you talk of is up to 20% of profits for traders. Right now you are paying close to 0% of your profits in charges. Your question is an oxymoron. Still, there is an answer to your request to pay close to what traders pay on their profits - you would need to stop all them losing bets feck.

Is that story true about Feck not having 100 betfair points true? That's one way to leach the site, just don't bother betting at all
|
|
By:
You could pay hundreds of thousands in commission (conceivably while making a considerable loss), be on 2% and 45 weeks later have less than 100 points. Surely there isn't a business in the world that would treat such a customer as they would a newbie?
You two clowns are so stupid you'd waltz into a job with betfair. |

What use to betfair is somebody who doesn't bet for 45 weeks? The biggest thief of them all is the person who never provides any custom yet uses the business's own resources to slag them off. The height of all hypocrisy

Just answer the questions. Its a shame when frustration at your diminishing arguements, manifests into insults. |

That's exactly what I've been saying about the pc payers for ages bot. They are the enemy within, albeit of your own creation. |

Don't forget I'm taking this time out at betfair's suggestion. Their advice to anyone who bets in size but can't be bothered drip feeding (or is unable to due to other commitments) is to get a degree in computer programming. Of course for everyone who takes this advice on board there will be a thousand will walk away. As I've said before, why did God give the Arabs the oil and us the potatoes ..... |

Today's Idiom = "A Chip On Your Shoulder" www.GoEnglish.com Send Me The GoEnglish Weekly Preview of English Idioms A Chip On Your Shoulder ( angry because of what happened in the past ... ) "a chip on your shoulder" "a chip on your shoulder" A person who has "a chip on his shoulder" is angry because of some thing that happened in the past. Example: "He lost his game this morning, and now he has a chip on his shoulder." It is easy for a person to get in a fight when he has a chip on his shoulder, because he is already angry about something else. Example: "Watch out for that guy, he's got a chip on his shoulder." To start a fight, men used to put chips of wood on their shoulder and challenge others to "try to knock it off". Example: "What's bothering that guy?" Reply: "Nothing. He's just got a chip on the shoulder." Example: "Tom had a tough time growing up, so he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder." You can use the definite article ("the") which sounds more general ("a chip on the shoulder"), but more often people use the personal pronoun ("his", "her", "their") to say that that specific person has "a chip on his (her, their) shoulder." mmmmmmm |

Bots are considered cheating on poker websites. They should be on here too imho but that's all it is just my opinion.
The majority of bots (I think) leech off the prices and information set by others |

It's difficult to stop screen scraping bots but easy enough to deny them the information.

What questions? You've quoted a rhetorical one asked by someone else. Stop dodging. I know you don't need it spelt out. Wasn't it you feck that was complaining once about the premium charge not being fair, due to the sequence of bets a person might have had? I think you know full well that a gambler is no different to a trader. Its the sequence of bets which determines whether they pay an extra charge. The charge has nothing to do with betfairs excuse about certain people taking too much money out the system. So, why are you not happy with paying 0% of your profit in charges? How can it be possible to take extortionate amounts out the system yet pay nothing from your profits in charges? Charges that are designed to prevent this very thing happening? Your crusade means nothing until these issues are addressed. |
