betfair changing commissions

how do you deal with betfair changing commissions on every market?
i can't see how i can know what the actual commission will be before the bet is settled.

Isn't the one in the "rules" tab? ( look at the bottom right corner )

Hello and welcome to the forum, please use the search bar in the top right corner.
If you press the yellow circle or the "i" above the odds in the odds title, you can se the commission for this particular market.

hey thank you for your comments.

the commission in the rules tab gives me the "Market Base Rate", which for me is 6.5 and is gives me that for every market fro every sport.

but if i place a bet and wait for it to settle, and i go to the profit\loss page i see a different commission, for tennis i see about 8.3 it vary, so what about that?

Bumping this up if anyone has an idea about this. I know Betfair has made some changes recently.

It is about rounding numbers..so 6,5 comm can vary from 6,0 up to 7,3. If your comm is 1,86 € it will round it on 1,9 and than comm is little bit bigger.

I think this is the case.
You can always send them an email and ask about that specific case.

Best regards
