Can't believe they are again making such a b@lls up of getting punters from here to switch given the negative sentiment etc. But the fact is for early horses they are way less competitive than last year when they were one tick worse both sides now they are 2 so unless you are a PC payer there is no point looking at them whatsoever. Sure it tightens up a bit in the pre-race shows but if you haven't got a position in the first place or are now tired looking there to see if they have any value then it really does mean much.

Unless they were doing their absolute nads by operating one tick worse then can't understand this move. They'll never get anyone to take them seriously like this.
Pause • Switch to Standard View Purple worse than last year

I think their main concern is arbing between there and here hence the price difference.

Looked in on wednesday morning to check prices for a golf tournament taking place in Spain. I couldn't believe the liquidity. It was miniscule to say the least.

Can't believe that I'm on 4.8% [after summer break] here and 2.5% at purple and yet can't play there whatsoever. I swear their commercial director must work for BF as it would be next to impossible in the recent climate for BF for the most natural competitor not to get a decent foothold in the market. Their strategy beggars belief to me but as chelsea girl says i shouldn't be surprised.

There is a simple answer to all of this non expansion,on this site there are

plenty of,sad to say overseas mugs, on the purple site there are very few if any.

Shrewdies feed of mugs, no mugs no business.

They made a big mistake offering the fast picture thieves and botboys a 1% commission deal,what they should have done was entice
the real liquidity providers ie punters with 1% comms and the sharks would have followed.
