My reasoning here is that the average punter sitting in the TAB or CLUB would never have heard of BETFAIR and if they did they couldn,t care less one way or the other.
They bet as a form of entertainment and relaxation and not as a way of making money.
Cynical.Probably.And I will stand corrected if I am wrong.

Dear Darky,
You are in fact quite right!
But how much do the Tab's really expect to loose to Betfair. If the "mug"punters bet for entertainment then that leaves the serious punter to do as they have always done, Go to the track, bet with Darwin, or seek a better deal elsewhere, like betfair.
I feel sorry for the hundreds (yes even thousands) of suckers that get dragged into betting schemes on the promise of easy riches...
Pick up a copy of your racing form newspaper and esimate how much was spent on advertising! At $500 -$800 each ad, there's a lot of suckers paying for it.
Readers, if you're new to betting and haven't formulated your own plan, or can't be sure what to back (or lay) then my advice is DON'T.. Professionals work longer hours than most "ordinary" workers (before raceday) and there's no gaurantee of success
If you can't make up your own mind about a runner, or you don't know how to handicap a race, then DON'T BUY SOMEONE ELSES IDEAS. Truly, they probably know less about the game than you do. They do however know how to laugh all the way to the bank by selling their schemes.
The only reason anyone wants to sell their "winning ideas" is because it's worthless! If these schemes were sucessful they'd use them themselves! (why have the hassle of dealing with customers?)
We are about to see a flood of these schemes on the market in the run up to christmas (all targeting Betfair)
Who will be the loosers after the shakedown? --- Racing in general...
