I love the phone calls from betfair

Betfair    - 'hi chris, do you like to bet in running'

Chris       - 'not really, i normally back in the football markets and let the bet ride'

Betfair     - 'i like football betting, i enjoy betting on a game you can watch on a sunday'

Chris        - 'yeah, can i have a free bet'

Betfair     - 'ok, we will deposit £10 next time you place a bet'

Chris       - 'Thank you, Betfair is brilliant'

Had about 4 of these calls.

I was thinking maybe different poker clientelle on Betfair ie some punter who just made 2 grand on a horse that came in and wants to give some of it to me in the poker while he waits for the next race to start. Betfair did suggest to me that this happens but I dunno...

Well, I'm part of the 0.5% and there's nothing I can do about it. I paid Betfair five figures in commission over the past year but apparently that is not enough. It's now to be pretty much trebled. Good for them.

I would love to be able to switch over to Betdaq but I only bet in running and there is no alternative to Betfair. They obviously know this and I now have a major dislike for a company I have always adored. Funny how things can change over the space of two or three days.
