Scratch removal

jas, i find this situation with US markets unacceptable. Some smart operators seem to be manipulating the price of the scratchings on BF to take advantage of the deductions.

Surely there is some service that BF can subscribe to that would give them an immediate alert of all the scratchings.

Subscribe?
They own TVG ffs but its simply poor management of the markets on betfairs part. You could train a chimpanzee in less than an hour to do a better a job and this isnt a recent occurence its always been the same.
The amount of customers lost because of this must cost them a fortune in commission.

Kye, very interesting, I'm glad you posted that. I'm also glad that you qualified that whoever is manipulating the prices and taking advantage are "smart operators".

Punters are trading on a betting exchange to take each others money, either through superior skill or knowledge or through exploiting whatever other opportunities may present themselves. So in that sense, I have no problem with "smart operators" taking advantage of Betfair's incompetence at the expense of other punters on here who haven't clued in. The broader question that needs to be asked however is more explosive in my view. "Is Betfair's incompetence inadvertent, or are they complicit in allowing these "smart operators" (who are I feel are the market makers on here) to take advantage?"  It has often made me wonder why something so simple as taking out of the markets runners that in some cases had been withdrawn hours before is still being missed. Especially when punters on here have repeatedly complained about it to Betfair's management. You can draw your own conclusions.

I disagree with Bluenose in his conclusion that punters have been lost because of this. Except of a handful of punters on here who have clued in and have being very vocal complaining about it and an even smaller number actually taking advantage themselves, most posters on here seem to live in blissful ignorance of these shenanigans. Besides, I  think it pales in comparison with other "issues" now prevalent in trading the US racing markets.....but that's an entirely different debate for a different time.

Ever a Friend

Jas/Bluenose, I said it before and I'll say it again, as long as you chaps who are the heavyweights on this forum continue to hold your nose and look the other way, allowing a mentally disturbed individual like Billy/lucky to continue to poison this forum with his moronic, incessant, repetitious juvenile posts ALL BECAUSE YOU CHAPS HAVE A VENDETTA with the Canadian, this forum will never return to its former self.

My disdain for Billy and my friendship with the Canadian is well known but that has never stopped me from being objective in my comments on this forum. You chaps need to reassess your objectivity and as minimum start being honest with yourselves. You are both very bright individuals so I'm absolutely sure you understand what I'm talking about. They call it "moral authority" for a reason....

you are the Comedian you stupid clown

Thank you, Billy, I was counting on you to show up and prove my point.

I don't know, from where I'm sitting it looks like Big M trolled and billy took the bait......AGAIN

silly billy, he'll never learn

a 2 minute log off and log in by the comedian

thats good considering your flipping a burger at the same time.

Canadian, please stay out of this. I wasn't trolling, my post was rather serious.

billy, remind me again, who shows up when I call?

I would have thought BIG M was the last thig the comedian wanted to talk about . He flips burers and makes Big Macs all day long

remind me one more time

Comedian , remind me again, who shows up when I call?.

This is getting silly. I'm off. Good night.

remind me one more time.
