Default For all you betfair doubters

There are always posts about betfair killing itself with this charge and that charge but overall they are still better value then elsewhere and it appears punters agree:

Revenue up 20%. Revenue doesn't increase unless they have punters betting/trading.

Yeah but hang on a minute UB! This is a fin report on the former parent company. They started improving just after they ditched Betfair AUS. Their growth has come from mobile sports betting.

We can't bet Inplay here, got turnover tax, pay more commission, soon won't be able to watch VIC Racing, it's a woeful franchise IMHO.

I bet globally. AUS is just one part of my betting.

The Aus figures should be reported these days in Crown results I guess. Will need to keep an eye out.

Turnover tax = VIC board
VIC Racing not showing = VIC Board
In PLay Betting not Allowed = Aust Government rules.

None of these are betfair (or any other bookies) fault.

Good summary of why AUS is one of the toughest markets. I agree that Betfair main account jurisdiction is 10 times better environment to bet in than here and worthwhile staying up late or getting up real early for
