Yeah dj racing only...its not always perfect if you wanna back the front runner you have to take a smaller price but as long as you know what you want its fine....for me its better than the Pc.

yes , i used the sportsbook , once .
i tried placing a bet but kept getting a message saying error or something , i couldn't figure it out until i reduced my stake to about £1.20 , then it worked

SV,Thanks
This must be a very recent development(as in the last week)??Do you trade in running via an offset or take a position and hold it??
What kind of stakes are you getting matched in running on the purple??€€

people i know have gone to purple but have now come back to betfair because of no money on there. if you use your head there are ways around paying tax you know just ask mr carr

There is no In Running on BDaq.
Ihth

No dj no trading, i just put my back bet up and cancel it if no-one is nibbling at it...i often wonder who is matching mine because it gets matched alot more than you'd think and maybe Purple are doing it...but it is miles better than it was.

you would soon get p1ssed off paying it louis i assure you.
yes i win over the long run and if i feel something wont win i lay it. prob a combination of judgement and a lot of luck over time.

The trouble is a lack of belief in the exchange concept by the present managements of both exchanges. In any event Horse Racing no longer appeals to younger punters and we shall just see a steady decline.

Yet to pay PC, but as soon as I get the message, I'll disappear like a thief in the night.

tin, if it's a new daq account you should get zero comms to start, but if you've had the account for a while email them & explain what's happened and your experience on here, tell them you're moving and ask them if they would give you a zero or reduced comms account to start you off, they are often quite willing to help out

it's worth a try, might save you a few quid while you adjust

I would be over there like a shot, but i do my punting on a pre paid card that way i keep my betting(investing as i like to call it!) money and "real" money seperate, also by using the pre paid card IFThe red mist was to descend after a bad beat i cant just reload and fire again, i have to wait a day.

I am very disciplined in to as what i do but this is just a safety buffer in case.

But sadly **** wont accept pre paid cards for some reason and i aint for changing what has worked for me for years just because of that.

All the best over there.

I've been using Daq for a while now. For racing it's fine for the stakes I play at, £20-£200. The limited markets in other sports have also done me a huge favour, I'm hopeless at football betting and I've saved a fortune since moving there.
Best of luck with it TIN

this is where this charge is wrong

when they started with the original pc there were not that many people affected, but even then we were saying long term it would rope people in over time that really were not in the bracket of big winners

when they revamped it a couple of years ago they spread the net further, people that don't have fast pics, or bots etc are now going to get picked up quicker just for having a bit of an eye for a price or knowledge of their sport

those that say, it won't happen to me should be just as vocal, because short term you're going to find it harder and harder to get value or an early price because the layers and market makers are not playing now

longer term, if you win you'll also fall under the charge, so get wise and make them understand it has to change

i don't mind paying a fair whack as a big winner, i can understand that, but it's out of proportion & unfair
esp when small winners or those that make a small profit over a long time period get sucked in

the problem now is this is a line on their p&l, they can't just say to share holders we're knocking x mill off the bottom line, they have to change it and replace it with something that maintains profit whilst not affecting liquidity or member numbers, sadly that is going to be bloody hard to come up with and i don't envy them in trying to find it

in the meantime we are spiraling to a slow death

also elise, most/alot of top companies rely on Customer recommendation/referal for new customers - it a proven winning systems -

because of Betfairs treatment of existing customers - I know of NOT ONE who would recommend it!

Ordinary winning punters should not be paying Premium charge.Professional or not if they are smart enough to win,why should Betfair who already make huge profits take a cut.But I agree with Bot users,in running thieves and bookmakers paying premium charge.They are parasites who use the site as a business,not as punters playing on a level playing field.

An interesting six months ahead - Ladblokes (Betduck) to scale up their operation ready for a full launch in 2014 must force Betfairs hand to do something differently to save their business from terminal decline.
What about faster pictures for the ATR tracks (a possibility)? What about a change to Premium charge (has to happen)? What will kick start Betfair and get them back on track while satisfying shareholders ?
Lets hope the management team are not going to concentrate all their efforts on being a watered down version of 3 6 5 and realise before it is too late what they have let slip through their fingers.

Last one out turn off the lights ...

one thing occurs to me

if all you really good at what you do merchants go to the daq

who are you going to win off?

wow, just over 4 years to the day when i wrote this post and after 2 spells with purple and some time back dealing in shares, now back on here. been back about 3 months now and already racking up the charges, b@stards. almost £300 this week after us open and royal ascot. no choice, betd@c is as awful now as it was years ago, no maybe it's improved 1%. got sick of battling with their pr team over why there liquidity on most markets is so ****. other's may share a different view, but the difference over there on most markets is criminal. is anyone still here who posted 4 years ago paying charges now !!! and if you left have you come back after finding out it's a waste of time over there.

but not you delta
