Can anyone answer this for me?

If you pay PC, can you reduce your charges by losing on some markets while winning on others? For example, if you bet
0-0 correct score and lay under 0.5 goals at the same price, you'd end up slightly out-of-pocket due to ordinary commission,
but would you save on PC?

One other question: is commission discount any use at all to a PC payer? It seems to me that it's not - is that right?

Commission discount is of use to a PC payer. I understand why you think it's not but someone did explain why it is, though I can't remember the explanation but did understand the logic.

Well you'll forgive me if I withhold judgment till I see the proof :)

Maybe it ties in with the implied commission calculation?

The only problem is that customers need a Betfair Calculator to work out the Premium Charge

If that was the only problem, there wouldn't really be a problem.

Commission discount does help pc payers. As your commission rate decreases your generated commssion decreases at a lower rate. This is because its equal to implied plus generated commission divided by 2.

Thanks bingo bongo. So that means that "cross-matching" on mutually exclusive outcomes in different markets is
also worthwhile (as in my original post), because it increases implied commission?

Yes as long as your commission rate is less than 3%.  PM me if you want further details - enough said here!

cross matching should be compulsary for anyone on 50% or 60%
if you can get enough turnover to jump to the next band.

It needs to be done carefully because when an event is
abandoned not all markets will be voided.

That's a very good point. Thanks.

Do betfair see this as premium charge avoidance?
Ive seen accounts deducted money for PC avoidance
