I haven't got this written down, but pretty sure the cash outs and each way extra terms are not anywhere near as favourable as they used to be.
Seems a big jump from the standard place terms to the next place along, and that's obviously reflected in the other places. Their standard price is also often lower than many of the others, presumably due to the fact they offer the extra places option.
Used to get offered the occasional bet credit, but that seems to have dried up as well.
Must be hard times for the firm.
Shame because they were much better than the rest. Now it appears they are striving to be as bad as the rest.

Think it's a case dd of some bookmakers leaving concessions available for far too long to be competitive and they then become an expected part of the rule book , can't bet with them myself so not totally kept up to speed with it all but that's the case here i'd suspect.
Best of luck today  |

Given that most punters lose not sure getting rid of what might attract them in the first place helps.
Thanks, been very cautious on the betting front, but first flat bets today, so probably need all the luck I can get. |

Oh for the days of 8.30am price guarantees , 10am best price matching , 1/4 odds a place on all TV races and a free bet bet if horse wins at 4/1 +. Impossible to lose.
Nothing lasts forever. |

The trouble is that firms put up these concessions to attract occasional, recreational (the unkind would say mug) punters but have their metaphorical trousers taken down by the sharks, some of whom are on here. Betfair probably makes it worse because it means generous offers can be arbed and unwanted parts (eg the win part of generous e/w terms) laid back here.
Tbh I'd be happier if the firms kept the concessions but limited who can take advantage, rather than withdrawing or downgrading concessions for everyone. Others will differ. |

The bookmakers started early prices for their own benefit in regards to an early warning system and it worked well for them.
