Very interesting user name.
Now, having dredged through that material I am so confused that I am prepared to concede that you
may be correct about the allowance applying to a rolling 60 week window, instead of only applying initially.
So presumably after 60 weeks are up, for every subsequent week Betfair credits your allowance by ~$37 = (2222/60).
Pity Betfair didn't bother spelling that out to eliminate confusion.
Anyway imagine those who manage to stay completely within the allowance by averaging pre-allowance charges of $37 per week.
From week 61 that changes.
If 50% stay below $37 then they escape charges.
But the other 50% who exceed $37 will get charged!
In essence anyone slightly below the allowance should now start getting charged upon encountering an above-average run.
So the proportion of affected customers will increase.
An important fact that Betfair has failed to disclose.
