Spartan amounts being matched on opening day. I'm sure everyone is on the competition by now. Here is the best place to wager but not at these rates. Isn't something small of a larger pie better?

Can't even consider it unless it's under 3% and even 2% would probably only get some back.

Hard choice for them though in fairness, if they go to war on one market, sites may take them on on other markets.

Rink Rat send your idea to them dont post it here. Suggest they cut for a month and see if it actually makes them a bigger profit, if it dont they go back to where they were if it does then they can reduce more and see if this again causes an increase on profit.

Either that or suggest the bigger the bet the less the commision.

So Upto 5%£50 standard commision
£50 or more 4.5%
£100 or more 4%
£250 or more 3%
£500 or more 2.5%
£1000 or more just 2%

Whoa there, tiger! There's a lot of noughts on those numbers. My £2 all-in plunges ain't going to benefit :|

Good points LL. One thing though is Multiple trades. That is what makes this exchange great. The reduced commission figures you quote would have to be done on a total Risk holding basis (at which point in time with in-play?)

May be all unfortunately, a bit much for them to grasp. :(

A few things about Baseball liquidity.

I am told TV 5 used to broadcast live games in the UK, now they show soft T&A instead so there are no free to air games over there I think.

For the first 2 days of the season there was no link to the coupon in the left hand link menu.

Liquidity will pick up a lot when the NBA season is over.

If BF could be bothered drumming up some business in Latin America and the Caribbean that could help a lot.

When the USA legalizes it our troubles will be over.
