Nice to see betfair at it again with their comparison of how much you will win here instead of other named firms, totally missing out the fact you have to pay 5% commision on these winnings.

Must have to dig deep to find them in the first place, high street normally as good these days, without commision.

Agreed, must be in the small print, they would not mislead the public, surely.

This place is the reason most bookies shut accounts down far easier these days.

Nobody with half a brain is being mislead by anything.
Stop fcking complaining.

Check your bets below - the maximum 5% commission has been deducted from all Betfair winnings

The comparison does take commission into account and does so at the max 5%.

Did you just make the assumption commission wasn't taken into acount? It says it is in big orange letters below the title of the page [;)]

I think the figures would be much less in Betfair's favour if pinnacle was included though.

Betfair cut out the middleman, according to their ads.

And so they do don't they.?
The fact that they charge you to use their site which puts you quickly and directly together with other punters does not make them a middleman , does it ?

lmao at the idea of cutting out the middleman, normally it is you v the bookie, with them it is you v someone else using betfair as the intermediary, so 3 players involved instead of 2, HOW THE HELL does that qualify as "cutting out the middleman??"

To say nothing of parasitic Ferengi poncing between true backers and layers.
