Not sure how you can claim there is a liability for commission when it's a break even situation, there is simply no liability in such circumstances.

It would be the same if I Dutch booked, which I do with some success - the amount won on the winning bet would be offset by the amount lost on the losing bets re the commission paid.


No thats not what I said... I did not say there was a commission owed on break even (overall).... looking at the 2 bets as one trade, as it appears is the case. I made the mistake of treating each bet as an individual thats where the 50c commission came into it... As i said earlier you are right in that instance...
I admiited I was wrong.... take the victory

I said in first post that I could be wrong...
