Dear.....
We have noticed you haven't used you account for a while. As a 'welcome" back we are willing to let you bet commission free for the next 6 months, we have deposited £500 in your account, and we have scrapped the Premium changes you used to pay. As an act of good will we have refunded £100k of the Premium charges you paid us. We are even in talks with Bert to buy back into. Any chance of coming back.
Yours Betfair.....

Not gone quite that far yet, but Betfair have been knocking at the door a lot more often recently.

I think Laddaq are serious about getting their api sorted... and thank the lord for that.

The first telling sign of Laddaq progress will be when Betfair remove premium charge from all pre-off events/markets... There was always going to be a tax on in-play events as lurkers were mopping up soft money at the courses owing to the video delay. It was greedy of Betfair though in my view to treat pre-off traders with the same comtempt and tax them equally as harsh.

There is no chance of Betfair removing the PC.

And the thing about customers, is once you have treated them badly and they find another company to do business with they are very, very hard to get back. If you have f***** them over once, you are likely to do it again.
The trick is not to take them for granted in the first place. Isn't that the way every other business in the world operates?

I have a strong feeling the balance is tipping, and what's more it's gathering momentum. We are close to a shift in power

Only me :D

Been away for a while and was just wondering how things are looking on Betdaq?

As I am at a loose end this weekend I was thinking of dusting off my trading mouse and giving the markets a bash on Betdaq for a bit of fun whilst watching the racing.

Have things continued to improve liquidity wise?

Hope the markets have been treating everyone well :!:

There is quite a bit more money showing in the pre race markets compared to a few months ago. If you are looking for positions for swings, I would say you may find some good positions without the PC. In the past there was always worry of the markets being very gappy but there are bigger numbers showing so it could be good for swingers looking to sit on a long term position and knowing there should be enough money to get out.
