If betfair AU were to close or drop the exchange and just offer bookmaker odds, do you think Aussies would still be able to log in to betfair.com (not .au) and use the exchange there on whatever races were available?

Additionally, if betfair AU were to just offer bookmaker odds and still offer AUS races, do you think betfair.com would offer the exchange for AUS races? food for thought..

Interested to get your thoughts. In an ideal world I'd be asking the betfair board.

*I should add that i've been told by betfair they have no plans to do either of the above in the near future.
