Another boring premium charge question ?

Implied commission is 3% on losses so £30

If this £1000 win is before commission (I think this is what you mean) then

Commision generated is Implied+Paid/2, in this case £30+£50/2 = £40

So a overall a loss of £10 - you've lost £50 but have potential pc saving/buffer of £40 on 20% pc

ahh thanks bongo -  didn't realise it was 30%  btw ,and yes ...i did mean before comms

and yeah , it would have to be on the basis of further gains of course

is it possible to be paying premium charge and still be on 5% commission?

It's possible, but unlikely.
  Even the biggest players on here though, would be on 5 % within 6 - 12 months if they took a break, due to the 15 % weekly deduction on Betfair points.

Yeah definitely possible, i don't think too unlikely. The pc affects small players as well as big players.

sweetchild - yes it is certainly possible in the early days and after a break as mentioned .

5% is also a lot easier to deal with as a round hypothetical figure

cheers coach

I pay the premium charge nearly every week and my discount rate is usually 4 - 6 %.

It is easily done if you don't play many markets and have steady but unspectacular wins and very few loses.

----------

very very possible if your winning strategy is to always trade to an all green book and you've been doing it for any length of time.

or if you take some time off, because the 15% weekly points decay will eat away your discount pretty quickly.

very much so

well i dont pay premium charge but IF i ever do, i can guarantee i'll only pay it once

i'm on 5% in part because i'm taking my time to reach the £250k threshold at which point i won't have another bet here.

got to admit, charlatan, when/if I hit 250K I'll probably pack it in too.

fortunately, barring a rule change it's not going to be an issue for quite a while.

yes agreed.

when you clear £250k profit what will your minimum p/c rate be 40%

Yes, 40 % is the minimum when you have reached 250 k profit if you are eligible to pay the charge.

so if you had no losers that week you would have to generate 80% commission to break even as they halve actual commission charged each week this is barmy imo

surely the only option is to switch to bet-aq as to break even you only need to make £3 there for £10 here insane

Purple statement looks like they want to be taken seriously  BA forum - discussion page !!!
