    Difficult to chase steam on Betfair

    Sure i'm going to be disagreed with here, but the place has far too many fukks running bots snapping up anything on a line move. Rarely get matched at a +ev price when making offers. Rarely get to back +ev prices. Just a super tough place to extract any value - far easier to pick on the "rec" books.

    Taking a ton of bonuses is much easier.
    Duff, why did you buy a free play to put on -110 yesterday?

    Free plays should be used for +500 and up

    I bought an betpoints freeplay (basically a poster who had one placed a bet on my behalf using his freeplay) - wasn't really thinking and put it on something paying -110.

    Had a little bit of success on smaller market stuff - got matched at a great price on a Spanish Basketball game and also managed to get matched at a good price on a Rugby Test Match.

    Was very frustrated the other week when I accidentally entered a full game line price into a 1h line and had the price instantly matched.

    Any Betfair veterans with some wisdom to share would be awesome.
