Biggest ever Betfair premium charge? Pt 2

It was quite amusing to see my previous post a few months ago, suddenly spring to life.

Unfortunately it seems to have been hijacked into an anti in-running fast pictures debate. This is quite amusing as the charges, note the question mark on both posts, are nothing to do with horse racing and definitely not in-running. I guess people will always try to stir up controversy if it suits their agenda and that’s probably the motivation to incorrectly pin this to in-running horse racing.

I’ve no doubt that fast pictures were an advantage a few years ago but all markets get more and more competitive over time, not less. This edge is one that has been significantly eroded. After All, the best way to beat it is to turn up to a course and that’s available to everybody. The main problem still revolves around the fact that it is possible to beat the delay, that’s another debate all together!

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
