Real in depth analysis of the match fixing issues of a few years ago. Some really interesting insight in there: -

That is only top if the iceberg. "Game" is very much evolved from simple fixing and those who follow tennis markets every day can certainly identify that, especially all lower markets that are opened on BF. At times it is bordering with ridiculous how big money is following score change. They can not get caught and they make *hitloads of money.

By profiting from fixing via the Premium charge Betfair stands even less of a chance of getting the exchange accepted in new territories. They have a vested interest in unfairness. Not saying they are actively pursuing that but it does show what a bad PR issue premium charge is all around.
Possibly not, who knows? But the point is that there's a conflict of interest here created by the PC. Betfair are no longer an impartial middleman. They've put themselves in a position where they profit more than they should from consistent winners, regardless of how those winners do it.Wildly wrote:I'm all for whacking the Premium Charge but you're on the wrong track doing it here.
Do you think those capable of fixing tennis matches would then continue to bet using the same account that attracts PC ?
