betfair, base commission rate for markets in your country is to be increased to 6%

[sbrzol]

We are writing to let you know that the base commission rate for markets in Hungary is to be increased to 6% from Monday 17th June 2013. This change to the standard Market Base Rate will be applied to all Exchange markets, apart from those running under the Australian Wallet, which will not be affected. As you may know Betfair points allow you to earn a discount on the commission rate you pay and can reduce you commission by as much as 60%.

it is time for matchbook the offer more market, like set betting

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Premium charge, super-premium charge, now increasing base commission. They're going to milk it so much they lose their monopoly.

I got this email too today. Its getting worse and worse every day but if you want to do some live tennis trading then you really dont have other option than betfair

[Marrowhine]

exactly, betfair is pretty much the only place that has enough liquidity for live tennis trading but jesus christ, 6%?
punters are in desperate need of another exchange

[sbrzol]

other exchanges must make their own api like betfair, and liquidity will go there
i think half or more of the liquidity comes with trading bots

Is betfair is the only place? What about bet365?

Betfair is doing everything to lose their monopoly...

[kkkkk]

wrong!!! just on opposite - they know they cant lose the monopoly role and they do that to win as much money as they can, and nobody could punish them.

[tommygun]

People will continue to bet at betfair no matter what. The fact that you can "lay" sports and horses etc is the biggest incentive for me to keep playing there.

mines limited yesterday at 365 to 50 after running +20k last 30 days.

Betfair is.. let's say the only canteen in town full with addicted losers. Of course they wont leave and they have absolutely no incentive to move.

[dimejack]

yes, and koala and dingo betting.

Bilby betting... This will be quite amusing. A dingo usually runs between 20 and 30 mph and contrary to popular belief, koalas are quite quick once they are on the move
