Unfair Betfair   
I havent posted here for years and YEARS but anyway......

Betfair have adopted a number of dodgy practices and have behaved more like
the Secret Service with their lack of information concerning these secretly
introduced practices than an honourable company which they claim to be.

Firstly they have teams of employees betting from Malta and they claim that
these teams are there to manage their multiple bet liabilities.

They also have computer programs/robots operating in unspecified markets
which may or may not have included in running markets.

There are also serious questions to be raised about whther or not these and
other practices represent a conflict of interests and whther or not anyone
betting on their exhcange or on any of their products does so on a level
playing field.

I shall not labour on all this here and now but rather direct you to a blog
I put up recently criticising Betfair in a number of areas so if anyone
wishes to make a comment either for or against Betfair feel free to do so.

Bloody Hell Harry! good to hear from you,long time.It does seem the problems 
with Betfair are attracting posts everywhere,not just here.I do not 
understand half of whats been said :-( but can see where probs would 
arise,but as i use Betfair rarely these days, unless I can spot some 
ovepriced value ,anyway.
Good to see you doing so well at the Cards,hope you can show that "bloody 
bad loser" Helmuth how class can benefit.

Cheers YCEV
