Been available for 2 hours from Saratoga and 90 mins from Monmouth.  Why does Betfair insist on losing commission over such a simple matter?

This was asked recently on one of those betfair q & a



Betfair Live Chat

1. Are there any plans to offer TVG to customers?

2. Why are the withdrawals from US racing markets managed so poorly? Often they are not withdrawn form the markets until after the race despite being non-runner for a considerable time before the race. Other times they are done at the last minute, there is just no constancy.

1)    We can’t easily make the TVG channel available via streaming due to licensing restrictions. However, we have been using some TVG audio content via Timeform Radio and will look to increase this when UK evening racing finishes later this year.

2)    We don’t agree that the markets are managed poorly. That said, we are always looking to make improvements where we can and we hope that you will notice some improved performance in this area in the coming months.

what do you mean, mark, you couldn't get matched against the 1.02 prices still left on the market when BF was trying to remove the runner right up to the off?????
