The problem with Betfair at the moment is that
- they can suspend your account without warning
- they can take money from your account without warning referring to missing premiumcharges
- they can put you together with other accounts that you have no idea of who these persons are. Of course claiming that all these usernames are under the 60% punishment.
I am still using Betfair because it is giving me my money of living (Betdaq also, not that much, but more and more) and I cannot complain to Betfair because I am afraid they will close my account.
At the moment Betfair has put me together with usernames that I do not know who they are (some of them I know, because they are my friends and we have been helping each other and dividing the markets between us, is that wrong?). What about if these persons I do not know about will make (a) big winning(s) and withdraw all his (their) funds, leaving me to pay all the premium charges of the winnings? It is a crazy situation and I do not dare to tell Betfair about this because maybe they just consider me as a difficult person and close my account. What can I do?
If "you" give me permission, I can tell "you" the usernames I have no idea of who they are.

i would slowly reduce reliance on betfair,by using betdaq more and get an account at wbx and betson and start trading their a bit.

Sorry if you are legit Kemabet but something just doesn't add up with you, you seem to pop up once a month roughly with a rant about this:

Sorry that I bring this fact up in this forum, but is it wrong that we try to be honest about things?
Might help if you opened your eyes a bit!

As Peter has said it has been discussed to death on this forum and on his blog and in numerous other places.

YOU even took part in a thread (look 7 threads below this one at the moment) where it was discussed at great length! Recently I asked specifically YOU for an update about it but you haven't bothered to reply????

See viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2835&start=360

If you want to be pointed to any of the numerous other threads covering the topic just ask!
There were several others like you who all popped up at around the same time, then all disappeared quicker than a rabbit down a hole bar one person who has kept us up to date. Just seems odd as to me it would be a big issues, not something you rant about then forget about.

Privatise the forum subscription members only there are other sites where you can watch some video,s for free but the disscussion is private members only, this would filter the non serious posts

To be fair, I imagine alot of the PC players aren't that active on forums and probably just searched the web for like minded people once they ended up in the new 60% PC net. You only need to look at the Betfair fiasco facebook page to see the majority soon gave up any fight.

I think they must have rushed off to all the other places where you can bet and win unlimited amounts of money while paying little commission and no income tax...
