If suspended half furlong out then 75% of track players would go bust imo

What's the point moaning that some people have loaded dice? You know they have loaded dice so
don't play against them. |

Rollos post of 1720 is exactly the correct analogy. Instead of solving the problem of users with tech and location advantages BF have decided to take a cut for themselves instead

kublai,
Betfair's position is also summed up by them putting money and staff into a Premium Charge Evasion Team. They aren't bothered that some exchange users have an advantage, as long as they get their cut of the "dirty" money! |

If I backed a Horse and put up to lay back at 1.13 1.01 etc I want to get matched, I don't care if there's an edge for the guy who matches me. Sometimes they don't win.

i would leave the markets open until the horses have weighed in.........at least then on slower pics you have a chance to react to the chance of a stewards

gubbedbaird it's understandable people who put in short price lays would be against it and im not claiming it's a great idea - but I do think a little innovation from Betfair wouldn't go amiss. And horses would still go short, just your Newton Abbot track player today would have to decide if he wanted to take 1.1 before the final hurdle, not after.

TheFear,
Do you have a ledge sticking out under your eyes, that prevents you from seeing what's under your nose? Betfair get up to 60% from a punter with an advantage. |

all they have to do is send the pictures from the course straight to the home users via fibre optic broadband and enable them to use full screen if they want.
if the delay was below 0.2 seconds it would probably not be worth while the additional cost for players to hire boxes on course etc . I am not sure if betfair want a level playing field , because if everyone was playing off the same speed pics , I think far more would be matched near the end of races |

Who knows if they even discuss these things? If RUK can be 1 second behind live how much ££££ required for ATR to do the same?
Rollo, I understand your point but I don't believe the issue is as black and white as you are suggesting. For example, a major faller layer on here apparently doesn't pay PC because his account was a massive loser pre-PC. |
