If you were Betfair's CEO/shareholders wouldn't you be asking ,,, "why are StarSports able to promote IR better than us, pls?" Cry

Anyone remember when the bookies used to bleat about Betfair? They are so NOT scared of Betfair any more they will even promote them themselves.

I wish Plain
Unfortunately, Betfair shareholders are kept quiet by the Sportsbook profits which far outweigh anything the Exchange achieves.

TheFear, did I just hear you describe Starsports as a bookie?
Report TheFear July 25, 2018 12:07 PM BST
i only bet on here mate, bookie or not a bookie doesn't really affect me.

There's a mention of the Premium Charge if you stick with part 3 and the greyhound bit.

Star Sports are the UK’s leading luxury bookmaker, originally launched as Star Racing in 1999.

From their page, are they not mouse?
Must admit not sure what a luxury bookie is though Laugh
Report mouse muldoon July 25, 2018 12:09 PM BST
Starsports would be lost without the exchange. Obviously they're not involved directly with in-running but I suppose it makes sense for them to promote all aspects of it.

Started watching the Star Sports interview with Matt Bisogno now head of the horse bettors forum,says that the HBF was "the brainchild of Nick Rust and is part of his strategy for growth in racing,one of his pillars of growth is the betting pillar essentially trying to develop revenues in the sport.
He recognised there wasn't really a voice for the other side of the bookmaking contract."

Then Simon Rowlands 100 applicants etc. got to 5.09 before I'd had enough.
Bisogno should be speaking out about the ridiculous restrictions punters have faced for years instead of feathering one's own nest in the all too familiar gravy training manner,the HBF will say they do it for free on their own time but is it REALLY FOR FREE ARE THERE NO BENEFITS TO THEIR RACING PROFILES AND INTERESTS?
Report TheFear July 25, 2018 12:28 PM BST
the hbf is about raising your profile 1.01. They should be paid then  it wouldnt be.

Facetimers are also behind live.  In running is a MUGS game if you're against people who have an advantage
Report TheFear July 25, 2018 2:31 PM BST
if you know more about racing than other people YOU have the advantage
Report Kriskin July 25, 2018 2:57 PM BST
Still not as much as someone who has 3 seconds or so more than you. I know my racing but Joe Bloggs who may not have as much racing knowledge as one, but is sitting with faster pictures should come out on top on more ocassions

I noticed that, he fully extends his arm eachtime too.
Like he needs to stretch to scratch his ear Shocked

he used to scratching his ear, it means "security at 3 o'clock lads"

love the bit about him being accused of betting illegally, i'll bet they dont go in to the boxes and say that

what a complete mess racing has made of developing this betting aspect of the sport, and all because the traditional bookmakers cant make money out of it

his edge seems to be a time advantage and observing the relative speeds of horses from a better angle than the those viewing the tv shots at about 2f out, he might struggle if the gps chips get put in to saddles and a select few get access

"level playing field" would suit him with the angle more than the lads in the boxes i guess
