From what I've read recently, of your posts, in this thread and others. It seems that betfair is the way to go, but I don't like that they double dip!
When one losses they take all the bet, yes?
Yet when one wins they also take a 5% commission.

You say they pay better odds than the TAB, anyone have an estimate of just how much more they pay?

I find the TAB phone account easy and convinent, does Betfair have a phone account?
As Party says I'm a newbie and appreciate all the help I get.

I now use Stab TAB for convenience mostly. Cash in/cash out at any TAB pub agency. I still have an IAS account and a Betfair account which I use very little now as I no longer bet the amounts I used too. Punting has become a recreational pleasure for me now and I'm no longer try to pay for a Rolla from betting.

Good prices are available on Betfair but sometimes the price is less than TAB and unless your propped up in front of a computer your stuffed. Another disadvantage with all or any agency is leaving winnings in the account [their not winning unless spent elsewhere]. No such problem with a TAB account as cash out is easy as pie. Like I said before, it's all swings and slides and depends on what suits.

Thanks Crash, I was starting to think no one used the TAB. Like you I find it easy to use and convenient.


Who else uses the TAB???

Cheers,

Mike, Betfair is an exchange so you're betting against other punters not the company. They take a sliding maximum 5% commission from the winner of the wager and yes the loser does their dough.

As do all TABs, bookmakers, etc.!!!

Crash, just to save me looking it up myself does the TAB (Supertab) charge for a CC deposit??

I've never been charged to deposit, never had any problems withdrawing, and never been charged to withdraw. All with Betfair.

No fees for CC deposits for TAB accounts. I think they did have fees at one stage but not now. You cannot deposit from a CC on a standard account but it's easy to apply for a CC deposit ability for your account.

Crash, Ta! good stuff!
