Sorry, rephrasing it a bit in response to why you think it still makes sense to bet with BetFair and why 6 years ago I already made up my mind to do it no longer given the situation back then, you can find the reasons in that thread. Things have simply become worse since then.

Well you are the one losing out then. I didn't find one valid reason in there to dissuade me from continuing to bet at Betfair.
Betfair is an absolute must book to have unless you only bet US sports or are subject to the premium charge.
I am a very keen price shopper and my Betfair turnover accounts for a very significant part of my total annual turnover every year. That simply would not be the case if they didn't have the odds and liquidity to make them more attractive enough of the time.
Yes they have shot themselves in the foot with this premium charge horror which has turned so many people off them but for those not subject to it they remain the best all round place to bet.
All these storys make me sick. How can they still be A rated?

Shari -
I would've been interested in reading this.
John recently stated that the mods can stop deleting links, and that he's going to speak to the powers that be about doing away with that policy.
What was your reason for deleting the link, other than censorship?

Because until I'm advised by my boss to stop editing links to other forums out of threads, I'll do what I've been told to do.

don't worry you haven't missed anything, there was absolutely nothing new or of any real interest in it - just more back and forth arguing about the merits of Betfair

why bother ... it's not going to change your view of them is it?
and it certainly won't change my view either if they are downgraded to D-
it would just make a laughing stock of SBR

It might get SBR noted in the financial pages, with so many reporters seemingly scrambling for bad news Betfair stories right now.

SBR has EZstreet at D-. They're hardly going to put Betfair there.
I would rate them C+. A is plainly ridiculous at this point. The HR scandal alone required at least a small downgrade, to B+ or whatever, plus then the Russian fella owed 3 million. But nothing.
There's no point in having ratings if ratings have no meaning. If Betfair had an incestuous relationship with SBR, like EZ and the RX, I'd at least understand it. It looks more like the ratings system was written, then left to take care of itself.

SBR John - I thought you told the mods that it's okay for them to allow links (look the other way), and meanwhile you will try to make that the new policy.
?? Any progress on this?
The RX was mentioned by name hundreds of times during the Easystreet threads.
This sort of blatant censorship - removing a link to an EX thread - simply makes your site look bad.
