Betfair Old Account

[Kafkaesque]

I had a couple old accounts i hadnt used in years, when i switched to a master account a few months ago they deleted them.
Think as long as your not using them at the same time and especially if they arent linked nothing to worry.
They only allow 1 as easier to administer and keep track of charges i think.

Agree with this, but will add that I would step more carefully, if you have taken advantage of a deposit bonus only available to new customers/accounts (or any other such offer). Apart from PC "cheating" this is likely where BF are most on it and cracking down. If you've taken up such an offer from them, and your primary concern is not getting shut down, I would make sure to inform them of your honest mistake and offer to pay back whatever you gained from the offer, before they find it.

How did you get a master account, rik? And how many sub accounts off that do you get, thanks.

its called „master sub account“, i was told its always 8 subaccounts you cant have more than that
if you have an account manager contact him, otherwise [email protected]
they will come back with a questionnaire about your intended usage, i think you need to have decent turnover to qualify, dont think profit matters, they are hoping that by giving additional accounts you will increase your turnover, so if you dont qualify maybe say you have more strategies that you need seperate accounts to run at the same time which would increase your betting etc
theyve been very helpful with me no complaints

I dont think there's a limit.

What we (BA) really need is "customerStrategyRef"

THat we way you can only use one account, but all of your strategies are segmented/isolated. And we'd all save thousands$$ in commission because all the losses/wins net each other out for comm purposes.

it would be good but I still wouldnt be able to separate the different strategies from the profloss statement that betfair is giving? you would have to extract your results directly from betangel to keep track?
At the moment I run different strategies on different accounts, on the one hand because net position of another strategy interferes and secondly so i can more easily keep track of results.
if not on premium charge it would be helpful to offset commission otherwise your better off paying more commission anyway

No. Betfair list the reference on each bet so that you can track each strategy.

It also keeps each instance isolated from each other so that you can use, for example, "if matched bets = 1" for each strategy

Only if you're accessing the bets via the API, most people won't have that access so having different strategies on separate accounts would make it easier than recreating each strategy via a list of bets from the API. Plus with PC generating Comms isn't a bad thing.
