Over the last few months, I have been reading about many Betfair users having their accounts closed/suspended. But at the same time OUR Betfair Course members do not have their Betfair accounts closed.
Therefore, let me explain why our members are protected – and more importantly, HOW!
Betfair as a business are predominantly a digital operation, IE: They are an online business, and everything runs with data – and data costs money! No business worth their salt are going to allow ‘free-loaders’, and this is why many people are having issues with their Betfair accounts. This is not new, but with the explosion in sports trading over the last couple of years, there are now more and more disgruntled Betfair customers than ever before.
How does Betfair data cost them money?
Well, think about it. All these websites you visit, even eBay, Twitter, Facebook and the likes have their websites hosted on servers, and servers are basically computers with a very large hard-drive capacity. So when you visit a website, or extract/read content from such a website, traffic (electricity, which we know is not free) flows through these servers in order to present the web-page on your computer, tablet, or phone; and this costs money to the end user – the website owners.
I actually have some personal experience with this, as I used to own a sizable hosting company many years ago; with multiple servers, and around 12,000+ websites – believe me, it costs money for data, so I get why more, and more companies are stopping the abuse – it is a real headache keeping on top of drive space and increasing costs!
