RIP Betfair multiples

technical limitations my arse , all about profitability and wish to drive custom on paddy power influenced sportsbook.

copy below of email just sent to Racing Post , will they publish ?

" Dear Sir ,

Betfair have recently announced

" We regret to inform you that as of Thursday August 29th the Exchange Racing multiples producthttp://multiples.betfair.com/is being permanently decommissioned due to technical limitations.

We apologise for the short notice but hope, where possible, you will continue to place your Racing multiples with Betfair via our sportsbook. Please also remember BSP betting is still available on the Exchange. "

I don't believe for a minute the reason for doing this , how in a world of rapid technological improvements can an established product be affected by technical limitations. The reason has got to be pure profiteering , a result of Betfair selling their soul to Paddy Power.

I will not be moving to sportsbook or any other " standard " bookmaker for my weekly TV multiple interest bet and give example below to illustrate why I'm not prepared to accept 20% , yes 20% lower returns.
