Fair enough but if you count commission what would the real figure be?

I see this as false advertising.

Their stats take off 5% commission and then show the +/- figure over industry SP

Only if you bet at sp--and you are almost entirely unlikely to win if you do.

The exception would be someone who needed to be accommodated in such size that no other options for getting a bet on were available to them. Still, that person (if a winner) is likely to have multiple placers, contacts and ways of getting on earlier.

Bf advertising the sp does nothing for me as a long-standing punter and liquidity provider for them. I want some kind of chance of getting on at the best bookie price during the day. But if I'm a net winner, I'm taking from the bookmaker i.e. betfair and they don't like that.

Whats the point in having slightly better odds on an exchange if the vast majority of users cannot visualize the realistic risk of all or any parts of an event, bit like making motor bikes for chickens.
