Fook!! I didn't realise how little an Aussie dollar is. Better keep a close eye on this - I'm keeping a £3K limit to be safe. :(

I had the turnover charge at 1.2% on an old spreadsheet so it appears to have doubled to 2.4%.

But only where your commission generated is <1.25% of your back bets. That might give you some wiggle room. That rule is a new one on me and didn't know it used to be 1.5%. I generate quite a lot of commission so I might have been able to trade nsw when I'd been avoiding them.

Is there a simple way to set up an excel file that automatically keeps track of your back bets total, commision generated etc...?

That's commission generated on NSW markets only.

If you place £5K of back bets you would have to win at least £1250 to generate £62.50 commission (only half the commission paid counts as generated commission). That rule is really there to protect punters, who win or lose will pay a lot of commission.

They problem Derek is that you're too consistant. Instead of steadily grinding your way to a couple of hundered you need to win 1250 and lose 1050.

Got the email. Isn't it wonderful to know that, like PC, only a small number of people have to pay the charge, and I'm just unlucky enough to be one of them?

No doubt when I hand over the money for my shed I'll be told: "Hey, don't worry, only a small number of people have to pay for a shed - the people who wish to purchase a shed"!! :lol:
Yep, the dreaded email. That time when you think, "shizer wish I didn't get a personalised email because I feel like I've got a target painted on me".

Hey

Can anyone tell me if there is an Android App that has betfair alerts for when a bet is matched ?

I guess it is all going to take a new mindset approach - "Who moved my cheese", "Adapt or die" etc

Just a heads up, Sky doesn't appear to be geoblocked at present (tested it from my VPN from a number of countries including the UK and it worked)

Sky 1 - https://skylivetab-i.akamaihd.net/hls/l ... 69779.m3u8

Sky 2 - https://skylivetab-i.akamaihd.net/hls/l ... 69779.m3u8

Be aware that it's about 15 seconds delayed (actually just double checked and it's close to 20 seconds through a VPN), but it covers every Aus and NZ throroughbred, harness and greyhound race on the exchange.

I'm really making the most of Canterbury. :D Next week I reckon it'll be Saturdays only, you'll be lucky to get through a whole card. :(

$6000/8 races. 🤔

And imagine if there are a bunch of short priced faves eg a Winx - would have to skip the race or conversely just do that race.

So I suspect people avoid races with odds on faves and look for races 4.0 and over or concentrate on opportunities at higher odds near the crossover 48/50/55.

It's quite a dilemma. The shorter priced horses trade best for me but I'll have to look at changing my approach. Let's hope Racing NSW starts to see some sense at some stage in the future.
