Hello, excuse for newbie question but it's unclear for me:

Example:
If I put 28,78 Euros on a price of 3,65... will result 105 Euros (so, i have net winnings 76,22 euros).

Now... Betfair will take 5% commision from 105 Euros (wich means 5 Euros)?? Or they will take 5% commision just from my 76,22 euros winnings (wich means 3.8 Euros)?

Thank you for your answers.

I'll answer even if you have been on here for more than 6 years.
  Betfair take their commission from your net profit.
In this case 3.8 Euro in commission.

Not sure I should prostitute myself for playing your game (or is it for real)?

You are either on a wind up to amuse your friends or you are probably the most stupid person evr to grace this hallowed forum!

You must surely know that every part of your question is invalid and ridiculous!

Please excuse my candour as I don't get into this sort of stuff but I had a shocking day!

Have a nice evening.....Laugh

Hey Eddie.... you are both very gracious and also a magician!

When I began to compose my response there were no other replies!

Now it certainly didn't take me sixteen minutes to compose mine so just wondering
how yours came in so long before!

Very very strange! Bordering on Black Magic I would say!

No it won't, they should take exactly 3.81335 EUR but will round it up.
Over time, you will pay even more than 5% commission.
A point lost on many here.
So in effect, the more money you wager, the bigger the skim will be.

Correct BTO, even though the gross winnings are 76.27 euros and not as stated!

The way they charge sometimes less than 5%, and sometimes more, makes it very difficult
to make a clear audit of ones performance (unless you are a mathematical genius and can be bothered to verify it)!
