Hi Julian,

I'm afraid only you know how much you intend to bet or how many bets you are likely to place per market. They are fairly straight-forward questions and you should have some idea from your practice mode trading.

Just answer their questions, you could, for example, say £2 increasing to £20. It might also be a good idea to start real trading to small stakes if you have any strategies that do not require a large number of bets.

You could also try a bit of arbing, lay a few football teams and back them with a bookie, so you start generating commission without losing much, if anything.

Good luck,

Derek

Dear JULIAN , Comments: Hi,

Please provide the below information for our review:

• Of the markets you read/view what percentage do you expect to place bets in?

• Do you work for a betting operator or any supplier to a betting operator, or have you in the past? If yes, please provide details.

They seem simple enough questions to answer, not sure why you'd need people to give you advice on how to answer unless you're looking to 'con' Betfair into lifting your restrictions. Remember they'll already have data on your current usage so any answers you give that don't tally with their experience of your use won't go in your favour.

Hooray!

Maybe you should email them again and ask them to define 'requisite'. 50p a week, £20 a day ? As I said above my only concern is that they'll actually come up with a fixed number and I'll have to do some stupid little bets on the days when I'm trialing & farming data instead of trading.

Their computer systems will flag up customers who arn't trading much, so there must be some sort of algorithm defined. Perhaps they don't want to disclose it in case people do the bare minimum to keep their account going.

I think there was a thread a while ago about reducing PC by generating commission. That might have mentioned some sort of breakeven strategy? Could be worth searching for.

Have a look at cross market arbs too if you're just looking to generate comms, you'll find plenty of arbs in related markets like correct score/over 0.5's etc and the win/asian markets too small for the PC payers to get involved but enough to keep your account active. Aim for tick points where one tick will cover you like 10/10.5 as so on
