I think to solve all this , Betfair must have one option where players have to choice between ,,i'm a trader,, or ,,i'm a punter,, if i choice ,,i'm a trader,, in case of a shutdown , all my bets must be voided or to be closed asap at what odds are now ..... is this fair or i must to go to take my pils ?

Regards
before i started trading i used to be a layer. i would trade the price attempting to get better then sp, ie lower than sp.

i am quite sure plenty of layers do the same and backers to, in that case they trade a price to better sp.

dont think your solution would work somehow.

That wouldn't work because some punters bets will have been matched by a trader

Also, some traders like to have the occasional bet, especially if they wish to trade out 'in play'
