I've finally reached the super premium charge. Whilst I am pleased to have achieved this milestone, it makes making a living from trading almost impossible for average plebs like myself. Time to ease down a bit and decide what to do next.
Have you thought about automation? It eases the pain :( , makes you think you're not a betfair's slave.

Congrats Aaron that's a great achievement!

Load up a lot of stats on a particular sport/country and try and break even or make a profit whilst generating a bit of commission, could save you hundreds a week!

Thankyou. Yes, I will try and fiddle around. Even Betfair has taken pity on me - they only taken the 20% PC rate out of my account for last week despite starting the week over the 250k threshold.

It's $250k in AUS and not £250k?

Well done. Another stab in the eye for the cynics.

The terms on the Aus site just seem to point to the UK charges, which are £250k

Are you sure that you calculate it right? Your total profit minus all charges? That could explain why you payed only by 20% PC rate ("bf's generosity", aha).

Yes I'd get onto the live chat as I'm pretty sure they'd just convert £'s into $'s so net would need to be close to $500k

You don't pay it the first week you qualify. The same as what happens with the 20%.

If Italy hadn't joined the Euro it would probably be 250K Lire. ;)

They calculate everything in GBP so they just convert other currencies. Maybe Aaron meant he reached 250k AUD, that would be quite the morale boost as that's only like halfway there.
