or, I think we could cancel all unmatched bets before the start of the game and try to place them again after the game has started.

Betfair recently added 2-step authentication. First you need to install Google authenticator on your smartphone/tablet and then you can activate it by going to my account/my security. I've tried it and it's much faster than using Skrill's security tokens.

By the way, I got caught here. I place the bets as soon as the game started like literally seconds. I think they have a machine to check this and my bet was void.

Just logged in my Betfair account and received a message saying that starting on 30th January Betfair will increase comission to 6,5% in Portugal. >:(

I will send them a massage that 10% is much better!

They will regret.
They increase the commission by 30%, but they will lose more than 30% of their volumes. A vicious spiral that they should/could anticipate.

Say goodbye to the betfair you knew.

This may not be the only change. For example in Austria you need 80K points to get a 40% discount rate while in the UK 50K will suffice. Austrian players cannot achieve more than a 50% reduction of their base rate, (the standard is 60%). I don't want to sound pessimistic but maybe the worst has yet to come.
Look for  betfair learning FAQ, how is commission calculated. I couldn't post the link.

All the big profitable traders come from Germany to Austria because of the new German tax laws!
And now they want to collect more money from them!
This 6.5 % will hit them back in the head like a boomerang!
