120. Premium Charges (1) - This is always a pretty emotive subject as it has had such a big impact on the Betfair ecosystem and despite being first introduced in 2008 it still has a huge and lasting impact today. Let's look at its history and why it was introduced.

121. Premium Charges (2) - So the way Betfair tried to justify the second iteration of the Premium Charge was by telling all and sundry that they would use the money it generated to bring in new players. They were in essence saying they would replenish the pond with fish.

122. Premium Charges (3) - Let's take a look at a real life example of Premium Charges and how it works in reality. Whilst being profitable on Betfair the introduction of the two iterations of the PC had zero impact on me. I didn’t start making decent profits until 2011/2012.

Agree with everything you’ve written Mark, PC and lack of investment in tech/streaming by Betfair is killing the once great product. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Nearly 3,000 thoroughbred horses slaughtered for meat in Ireland since 2020 (via @thejournal_ie) jrnl.ie/5764684 I struggle to understand any owner who cannot find £500 to have their no longer needed equine put to sleep at home.

I’ve been involved in this project for a few weeks now and what a refreshing change it’s been to be able to bet on horse racing on a fair and level playing field. This is available to anyone, not just a select few, anyone interested betting in running fairly, get in touch.

Thank you for your patience. They have come back stating that there was a technical issue during the management of this photo finish. In order to protect both back and lay customers, the photo finish market was closed. - Timothy
