Surely if the takeout of TABS is 14.50% and the takeout of Betfair is 5% (effectively), you are 9.5% better off backing using Betfair and 9.5% worse off laying using Betfair, which is why I say it's twice as hard, but actually it's 19% harder.
To win, your ratings have to outperform the market either way, but have to outperform the market by more than 19% laying.
