No Premium Charge for next few weeks, Thank You. Never gonna happen.
If they compensate something it is surely something useless like free plays in some **** slotmachine. |

By:
£50 free to all those who have used the site this month would seem fair, so no chance whatsoever of betUNFAIR doing so

I want a £100,000 open ended premium charge allowance.

it should probably be commensurate with a customer's volume so a 1% deduction for all customers on their commission rate for one week would be fair.
no decay gives nothing to those with over 162,500 points. |

Compensating those who pay least (i.e. pc payers) would be a great idea but surely the course ir players should be refunded the costs of their boxes?

viv, Your post might carry a bit more weight if you were able to say what I was supposedly ignorant of.

PC payers don't pay the least, as any fule no.

Who pays a lower percentage of their profits in commission than pc payers then?

What is it about traders that make them think they're so important that the rest of us should pay for the running of the site while they get to operate virtually commission free. Their attitude is identical to that of the parasitic sc.um in the financial sector who are getting pay rises and huge bonuses while the rest of the country pays for their mistakes.
Suppose they deducted 22.5% of your lifetime profit as a running total making deductions / rebates after each market was settled and then each Wednesday they calculated what you would've paid under the old system and, if that was greater than what you'd already paid, docked the difference from your account (i.e. they're swapping over the normal and premium charge deduction times). Then 1) Everyone would pay more or less what they do now 2) The Ferengi wouldn't have a Wednesday payment 3) Almost all gamblers would have a Wednesday payment 4) Gamblers would be up in arms at having to subsidise the mainly worthless Ferengi. 5) The only people who wouldn't be whinging would be the Ferengi. Can any pc calimero please tell us why the gamblers should have to make this wednesday payment? Would giving those NOT being charged on the wednesday a rebate of 75% of their previous week's commission be a solution to the above injustice? If you think so then you need treatment. Under the old system if you had 100 backs at 1.1 and they all won and I had 100 backs at 110.0 and one won, we'd both have the same turnover and gross profit but I'd be expected to pay up to 11 times the commission you would. The premium charge doesn't even go far enough to address that injustice as those paying it are still paying a lower percentage of their profits in commission than all other long term betfair winners. They should lower the max rate of commission and recoup it with The all new liquidity generating Premium Charge = (GrossProfit - 5 * CommissionGenerated) / 2. |

the people you hate most: botted up arbers - and me.

By:
When did I say I hated arbers? Generally speaking arbers don't make a profit on betfair so how do they pay less?
|
|
By:
viva, I don't think we have enough information to decide who Feck hates the most.
One thing is for sure though - He does hate a lot of people !! |

--------  that's the problem with forums. the people who understand the least generally contribute the most. bit like gambling, come to think of it. |

By:
What I hate is self-important whingers whinging about paying less than everyone else.
|

By:
Come on Feck, sure there are more people you hate.
Remember , it's very important that you open up and tell the whole truth during these sessions... |

and a word/subject count on those posts, feck?
a lot of mine have actually been about sport and betting. take a moment to try and get your head round that concept. |

^feck's unique blend of paranoia and homosexual fantasy.
when you find yourself thinking that people agree with each other but not you because they're part of some giant cottaging session you haven't been invited to, it's really time to close the lid and do something else for a while. |

What was it you were agreeing on viv? It looks like nothing more than a wee group hug to me, something that seems to occur frequently among you Ferengi when it comes to not replying to the points I make. |

When I use the 'exchange' my trust in being able to adjust and balance exposure is critical.
I understand ppl use the exchange betting for different reasons. But I was particularly dissapointed that during Sat afternoon, Betfair made their site available again, including betting, I backed a horse-to-lay, only for the market to be suspended seconds later. The race-off was a good ten mins away, and when I called BF they couldnt do anything. Technical faults (even though theyve cost me (and others) numerous times over the past month) can happen. But one would think the most equitable solution would be to void both unmatched and matched bets, but instead the BF advisor just consoled me saying all unmatched bets are cancelled. I understand there are many, with some much larger 'naked' exposures than I was left with, whose trust has taken a knock. Apologies for the long msg. |
