Got account closed due to "excessive data reading". Spoke directly to Data Marketing Team as adviced. Been told that over a period of 3 months I got 500 million requests. Yes, you read that right. 500 million. To get things straight, I used to follow around 100 markets daily via MFP. Not matches, just markets. How that adds up to such amount of requests, no idea.
They told me they may re-open my account under some circumstances. Basically Im not allowed even viewing markets manually (so I just cant open a game manually to have a look at odds) unless I bet such game. I can't even be logged in unless I place a bet. This is really riddiculous. Basically they force me to bet or Im out. Not being able to compare odds is insane and just dont know how to comment that. Even in a grocery shop when I get in Im not obliged to buy stuff. How they imagine full time traders being logged out and do their work when odds and volumes are not updated as fast as necessery, no idea. Not even talking about using MFP. Ive been trading there since years, paying PC, as you can imagine made them decent amount from comission so Im not a lurker and still they want me out.
If this is not sabotaging exchange I dont know what it is. Betfair attitude looks like worst corpo crap, lets cut all costs possible no matter what. They just want to operate as soft bookies, booting people who made them cost even a penny and leave mug bettors who jump in, place a bet and they are out. If access to their databse costs anything, I would gladly pay a fixed price but this isnt even possible, easiest to boot people who cause trouble cause they use api.
MFP is useless for me then, what a shame. If anyone got idea how to bypass that bullshit, please let me know cause Im just disgusted at the moment.
