They took 2 lots off me too. I rang and said it was effecting my betting cos I didn't have enough money left.
They said "tough shit"

Yes, mine is back. I'm just down a lot now rather than shed loads.

Yepback in mine too (back on Turkey for Christmas now!)

Tell you what though; for those people who have auto strategies and have calculations linked to the P&L, when you account is suddenly up by £XXX's mid race it can bugger up the staking!!

I figured out when Betfair decided to start screwing everyone over.. 4 or 5 years ago. From Peter's blog:

"Back when I joined Betfair, nearly 12 years ago now. They sent me a nice diary for my patronage. I didn’t generate much commission for them back then and didn’t write articles, design software for use on Betfair or anything like that. The following year I also received a small gift, and so it continued. Calendars, playing cards and the odd email with seasonal greetings.

About four or five years ago (I can’t remember exactly when) this stopped abruptly and since then, not even an email to wish me a Merry Christmas."

The key turning point in Betfair's history was when Andrew Black went non exec. There was an almost mercurial change in Betfair's attitude almost overnight. I remember seeing the notice from companies houses and wondered just what the impact would be.

Still, no point in pondering on the past, its better to work on the future!
