hi all,
Not been a prolific poster during almost 10 years on here, but the time has now come for me to vacate thanks to this premium charge.
know it's probably been done to death since it was introduced, but to be fair, i haven't read to much into it, except to sympathise with those having to pay it.
so having now qualified for the charge, after having used up my £1000 allowance, i started to pay the charge at the end of march this year and following another good week, i will have accumulated over £700 of payments in that time, seven hundred....and i aint paying any more.
I have today withdrawn as much as allowed, with the rest following deduction of this weeks charge and will move over to purple, i dont bet everyday and there is enough liquidity now with the big meetings/football/golf to get by and only 3% commission.
I would happily pay a bit more commission, but not this much, its a p1ss take and in fact, for the last 3 months, i have actually not bothered wearing any trousers as i felt that i was always pulling them up from my ankles. i get fcuk all back on a losing week, then get robbed on a winning one.
and on that score.........IM OUT
Best of luck on future bets everyone.

Why do people who pay premium charge stay with betfair?
Cant understand why you would willingly pay such charges unless it was in your interest to stay on betfair. |

Has liquidity improved at all on purple?
|
|
By:
it was just because it was a busy time aberdonia, with aintree then the masters etc and all by money was on here. with only wimbledon plus the cycling in the next couple of weeks thats why im getting out now...

By:
sparrow apart from in running it is fine.

aberdonia - liquidity
done! |

By:
i should have said :
liquidity in-running |

Tin pre tournament there are massive amounts to back or lay on the golf.

By:
people will say that we are not forced to bet and without trying to sound big headed, ive won good money on here, im a layer and take risks and deserve my rewards.

Thank you, wee eck. Hope you are feeling a little better.

Sadly BF started to go downhill when they started to lose all the original management team. PC charge was the final straw and in some ways was the incentive for me to find another avenue. I hardly ever use BF now, bit sad but they ruined what was a great product when it started over 13yrs ago.

yep i know wee eck, ive been looking over the last few weeks to see how it is. do have an account with them, but i haven't used it for aeons.

TINnotaTON -
You should CUT & PASTE your statement and RE-Post it on the 'Site Feedback' Forum - and of course - email it to as many BETFAIR addresses as possible - starting with - info@betfair.com Although - in the interests of (their) job protection, the Helpdesk, will probably 'file it under forget' ... instead of passing it on up the food-chain - which, of course, is what they really SHOULD DO. |

Just looked at the Japan football match. 68k on purple and 650k on Betfair!
Greyhound Derby semi final purple 8k and Betfair 63k |

sparrow, As long as I take my medication I can get by, I am at the hospital this week for an xray. thanks for your kind remarks.
|
|
By:
sparrow if one bets in say £20-100 chunks there are no problems.
|
|
By:
cheers onlooker, but although good at gambling im totally clueless when it comes to cutting and pasting
and as for the info@betfair.com i wouldnt waste my time , as no **** would answer. when i qualified to pay this charge, it states that i would be informed by e-mail, BUT I NEVER WAS and they just started taking the charge out. they stated that they had informed me, but they never did. never got any e-mail and dont care what they say. |
|
By:
I was betting 30-40k a week on Betfair and backing only using my own judgement....I went as soon as PC arrived and use only Purple and prefer it now. I get matched in running and its getting better by the day.
|
|
By:
great sv, just hope this post helps others.
|
|
By:
sv,
What kind of amounts do you get matched in running? Cheers. |
|
By:
tin be careful when your trousers are down as some blokes could take advantage of you mate
|

By:
Impossible to play in running on racing on the Purple.

Crazy idea premium charge
|
|
By:
DJ,
Its all relative i spose mate, i dont play IR on there as there aint enough in the market for my clicks, however there are plenty who play at lower volumes IR there |
|
By:
Indeed mt, penalising people for winning is such stupid idea.
I would like to know how much they gain from this, and what difference it would be if commission was set at 6%....... |
|
By:
Cf Kane ,
I don't think it's feasible to play for any stakes(depending on your strategy maybe,if you're taking a once off position and not using an offset)more gaps in it than than the tahitian defense. |
|
By:
Tin...find myelf having 1100 at 7-4 instead of 1k at 2-1(Betfair) etc...but its getting better....i back only(have never layed a horse in my life) and i hope it works for you.

By:
Tahitian defence - lol
|
|
By:
They prob used the premium charge to launch fixed odds betting. :-(
A great company teetering on the verge of a disaster. |

By:
SV "I get matched in running and its getting better by the day."
SV,can you elaborate on this please??Is this on racing?? |
|
By:
were obviously different on that sv with back n lay, but am looking forward to getting on there. cheers
|
|
By:
I'd be surprised if there are any small punters left on here with the £5 minimum bet to watch a race.
|
|
By:
Any of you used the fixed odds?
|
|
By:
nope
