if look at wimbledons prices, CRACK trading teem make what is same charge as commission of 8.5% on djokovic, 17.3% on andy murray(is 2.72 on exchange, is 2.25 with CRACK trading teeem), 17.4% on janowicz, 23.3% del potro, 41.6% on berdych (36 on exchange, 21 with CRACK trading teem), 19% on ferrer, 39% on tobasco and 30.2% on kubot.

why not just make simple and make commission 17% and then no need for CRACK???

"Two years ago, a crack trading unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from maximum security stockade to the Dublin Betfair office.  Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a revenue target to meet, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Crack Trading Team."

Remember the old BF ads where they claimed 20% better odds.. and we thought what a load of bollox... well this was the sort of example those claims were based on.

(8.5 + 17.3 + 17.4 + 23.3 + 41.6 + 19 + 39 + 30.2)/8 = 24.53%

The 20% better odds claim always CRACKED me up.  If someone was getting  20% more then at a regular shop, didn't that mean the layer of that bet was getting 20% worse odds.  Didn't BF trumpet that on their exchange a bettor could now take the other side, ie.  be the bookie.  The left hand said 20% better odds, while the right hand was picking your pocket for the same 20%.

To be fair, didn't they always use to use that olde favourite of financial firms.... "up to 20% better...?"
Report viva el presidente! July 3, 2013 11:37 AM BST
the answer to that, SS, is what bookie ever let you lay a tick above their back price?

if they'd had a lay price, it would have been up to 20% worse too. and there'd be a 30 tick spread between the back and lay offers.

I don't really believe the best odds are  always here, by the time commission goes not any or much different
