Betfair commision question

[SpudMan]

Hi guys, i got a quick question about betfair commision charges.

does the standard rate of commision (5%) decrease when u put money in CERTAIN markets only.

for example, i was actively betting on wimbledon and the comminsion rate had lower to 4.52.

but when i betted on the horse racing market, my winnings were commissioned with the standard 5%.

Is it that the more money u put in a particular market, u only get commision rate decreased for that market only? and not for all markets i.e. overall?

Thanks

General betfair commission is 5% but that is rounded.
So could be the nearest number to 5% you could get on your winnings would be 4.5%
Some markets do have slightly different commission rates (at least they did) but all mentioned on the Rules tab when you select a market

For me, the commision % was the same for all kinds of sports

What's commission?

You only pay it if you win

Which is itself, entirely unfair.
