Well, I woke up to a rude shock.
Endora doesn't like Derwood, so suddenly my commission jumped from 4.40% to 5.72%.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!

Much the same story here CP. 4.16% to 5.46%.

May have to have a rethink about my whole strategy now.

could be worse fellas, could be back to

Sad but true Norisk.

The way I am approaching all of this is the same as any event which eats into the bottom line - a tax hike (probably be dead & buried before another one of those comes around considering the state of the planet;)), power hike, rego hike, child support:o & on it goes...

Have been going down that track a bit myself lately NR.
Used to be that we worked

1 day for the tax man
1 day for the bank
1 day for the housekeeping etc
and the rest was ours.

Now it seems that the whole week is for someone else.
No easy answers, but I'm all ears if anyone has any suggestions.

2 average days in, have gone from 4.3% to 5.6%, and paid roughly an extra $9. Could have been worse, ie no Betfair at all.

Yeh looks like business as usual with solid turnover today.

Picked this up on a racing website i look at from time to time.

Anyone else heard this for all you Betfair users(not me),
I certainly hope this does not happen.


BETFAIR STUNNED BY NEGATIVE REACTION

An insider tells us that Betfair is so stunned by the negative reaction to their increased commission to cover the race fields levy they may be forced to abandon Australian Racing altogether.

Cheers.
