The sheer volume of microbets, below minimum invisible bets, one increment topping on here is astounding. We all know that Betfair's least favourite customers are manual, medium to large players, but the current state of affairs is laughable, the place is like a penny arcade with Betfair's pro-microbettor, pro-microbot agenda. The idea of 'leaving an order in', one of the most innovative aspects of exchange betting, is effectively redundant.

Lats saturday I experienced this. I got matched showing 0.00 green and -0.03 red (under 4.5 goals).
it's past ridiculous tbh...they've got to start warning people who mess around with sub £2 bets
It's not sarcasm Clydebank, I think it's a pretty accurate summation of the pecking order on here. What have they done for you lately?

They have. I have noticed a reduction in these bets.

On horse racing it appears that sub £2 bets are the ONLY bets allowed until 10 minutes before the off. 
isc I have noticed an improvement in customer service fwiw. plus had a dialogue with them several months ago and the whole tone was more friendly than it had been before.
Alex I havent noticed any reduction these bets

They are still about that is for sure. A few weeks ago you would see 3 or 4 sub £2 sitting there beneath the radar. Now it is up to two.
I'm quite surprised by that Clydebank, I would suggest that the general feeling around the place is that Betfair's stock has never been lower in terms of customer satisfaction, particularly given the risible handling of recent big outages.
I've long argued that the minimum bet shd go up w/ historic winnings in the site. This wd fail to serve its purpose (i.e. commit bots and traders to play bigger, take more risks and give up some of the value in other bettors' eyes) so long as you cd get round the requirement w/ microbets.
Perhaps bf cd say that the minimum commission they will charge for any market will be 10p (as if a bettor had won at evens for the min. stated stake and 5% comm.).
