1. In running horseracing (the most exciting form of betting full stop, imo)
2. In running betting all sports
3. Pre-race trading
4. Greening up at short odds after backing much higher (especially if it then loses)
5. Better odds for outsiders
6. A democratic forum
7. The opportunity to reduce your losses when you know you've got it wrong
8. Being able to lay @1.01 etc in the hope of a big win for small stake
9. Paul Nicholls column
10. Winning accounts not closed
As you can see a truly great company.

No.10 should be no.1

That's because we're not winning their money.
The more we win the more they get from us. |

..as for 55k a week. I'm happy with that a year..and that's from the HS and poker too.
The idea that all PC payers are winning hundreds of thousands a year is just nonsense. |

I haven't played much on here since the 'upgrade'
I have been today though, but wish i hadn't bothered :( As fpr the PC. I'm sure there are people on specials who win a couple of thousand a year, or less and end up paying now, thanks to the changes they made last year |

My post was in relation to noodles, and the comments about reliable site with outages at a minium!

Surely 1. Fast pics would count for nowt without Betfair

By enabling Mug Gamblers to lose in more intelligent creative ways it allows them to retain a bit of self esteem while losing all their money.

By:
yeah
you can lose money as a 'sports trader' rather than 'gambling addict' |

I started eating into my PC allowance after a lifetime P&L of less than 2,000. They don't advertise that though.
However, they are the best. For now. |

The BF site is very reliable. Although it crashes most browsers on a regular basis (Chrome being the exception).

P!nnacle crashes 10 times a day.

Surely the software out there designed for the site.

I staked my life on staff member noodles saying how wonderfull betfair were, problems was that no-one would even offer 1.01 on that
 Suppose I can't blame them really. |

By:
I asked for 1.01 that the number one complaint against betfair would be people objecting to being charged less of their profits in commission than all other winners because they think they should be paying much, much less than them. No one would lay me. Suppose I can't blame them really.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Probably 95% of posters on pc calimero threads are guilty of spewing the same old whinging sh1te yet have never placed a real bet on betfair.
