Who supply rball stats to Betfair? I compared few to them and couldn't find exact the same. Any sure infos? Or they don't buy rball from anyone?

How to get rid of this ugly "Coming up! Tottenham Chelsea" advertise on main Football page? They started advertising few days ago, annoying :/

Nope, gone before I realized what is happening. No idea what was that, can be a glitch. Last time I saw BF mess was Over/Under 2.5 market opened when there were three goals scored already, layed under but voided in the end anyway.

Yes,it's absolute truth.Betfair began to degrade immediately after the merger occurred in 2016 (with Paddy Power).I expected that combine with crap bookmaker will not lead to anything good .You can consider it was a diversion from the bookmakers.Betfair was like a thorn in the  eye for them.

But in other way, there are much more automatic bots. And many of them belong to the exchange .These bots are trading  using bookmakers parsers  and changing instantly the coefficients like on bet365, so it’s almost impossible to compete with them if you are average player.AUTOMATIC bots-parsers made from betfair an analogue of bookmaker, only with the ability to set up your coefficient, which in fact is not present.

I m from Russia and I see that most of our traders have even stopped blogging.there were many such bloggers in2010-2014 who wrote about their success in trade, and after 2015 they began to disappear. I think they stopped trading on the exchange cause it's very hard to force yourself to work for 1,000 $ when you used to get 10,000 $ without much effort.I say this from my own experience.Last good trading year was 2015 for me.it only got worse and worse and  now, 2019 is  the worst liquidity I've ever seen.

I don't think they care about the exchange. It goes down more often than a professional footballer. 3 times last week and there were loads of angry customers swearing at them on their twitter feed. It was really funny reading the comments. Bookmakers have bought betfair and betdaq and apparently smarkets are close to launching their own fixed odds site and I have a feeling they will be bought out by a bookmaker sooner or later. They don't want pro gamblers or traders on their site either which is made clear with their new commission tiers. It's sad times for exchange users.
