not looking to defend betfair & off subject a bit but a couple of you have mentioned not being able to get matched for stake you wanted using betfair - could i ask what sort of amounts you are talking about as that is not my experience having used betfair for an extended period now

the 'overs' obtained in comparison to my local tote (unitab) for me mean its a no brainer to be using betfair - my actual figures for last 3 months in $1 units -

betfair win divs $476
unitab win divs $390
overs obtained $86 - 22%

now i do have to work to get the best price & many times dont & about 1 in 4-5 bets my odds are less than the tote pays, but in the long run it pays.

so i am interested if any of you are obtaining greater than 20% over tote prices using any of the bookmakers you mention?
