Normally the first few races on Monday's are terrible but Hamilton is taking it to a whole new level.

Looks as though its over for us Aussie traders. Victorian racing going back to the Turnover Charge model, so its a good job I'm leaving in July but still very disappointing all the same to see racing bodies further discouraging the exchange.

Interesting they make specific mention of the importance of the exchange and the different structure of fees.

I'll wait to hear from Betfair on this one.

Trading only makes up about 5% of what I do.

Glad to hear you won't be affected very much.

They got a new CEO who seems insistent on treating punters like dirt so its no real surprise. It also wouldn't be a surprise if Qld followed suit with a new board.

Any update on the PC changes/offers yet? They'll probably have to scrap it altogether if they want people to continue trading here as there will only be about 9 tradable gallops meetings PER WEEK come 1st July.

And with no sports offering in-play, trading looks dead and buried in Oz. Well at least it was good while it lasted ;)

Victorian racing is looking less and less attractive by the day.

Quite the business that Tabcorp. Amounts to "marry me or I'll kill us both"

Regular Australian users, assuming in the last few days you have just been allocated your own vip account manager from betfair Australia offering to sit down with you and buy you a coffee or a beer and discuss ways for the exchange to improve and otherwise attend to your every need - then the poor bloke could be in for the greatest ear bashing of all time. ;)

Each to their own, but make it constructive. It might just mean they take some of the feedback and action it.

Euler you will be interested that they have offered to talk about "third party software access".

I was contacted by a Josh from BF, who said he was going to be in QLD soon, and would like to 'catch up'... have others been approached too?

No chance for in-running profits in Victoria anymore :roll:

Tried a re-tune, and this new channel doesn't exist here yet... So how are people viewing it to bet in the run??

There are a lot of radio players in Oz and I'm sure people have flocked to Geelong today.

Looks amazing, I don't know how they let the grass get in such a poor state.
