Phone call from Betfair

28/07/2011 | By More

A few weeks I got a phone call from a number I didn’t recognise. It was Betfair telling me I was now going to pay 60% of my profit to them. Or not as it turned out!

I tagged a name to that number so if they phoned again I would know who it was. Yesterday that number rang again, right in the middle of trading, thanks. What could Betfair be doing phoning me in the middle of Goodwood? Curious I shoved the phone under my shoulder, pressed it against my cheek and carried on trading. It turns out they were chasing payment on a negative balance.

A bit worried I qualified the conversation, “Negative balance, how much?”. It turns out they were chasing me for £19.46!! I’ve run up negative balances in the past but generally for large four figure numbers and never got chased hard for that. So very surprised to get a phone call and email for £19.46!

Anyhow, Goodwood went well yesterday and I had a good day overall which is reassuring. The drift on Canford Cliffs was amazing!! Been out early this morning with the kids and I’m fired up for a good session today.

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.
