Evening all!! It’s my favorite day of the week today! – Premium TAX day… for those that pay it, I’m sure you’re all too familiar with the feeling and a process something like this:
- Log in
- Check balance
- Wtf?!
- Account been hacked?
- Immediately wound up, reach for the phone to call Betfair
- Then suddenly it dawns on you as the operator picks up the phone, its Premium Charge day
So that was pretty much what I did when I got in from work today. It’s easy to do when you’re not keeping an eye on which day it is. Anyway, it left me feeling rather frustrated, as I usually withdraw the money I make each day immediately after trading, purely to keep a minimum trading balance in the account before I lock it for the night.
After a few races, I was off to a half-decent start, but it only really dawned on me after an hour or so that maybe I was being a little ‘aggressive,’ for want of a better word. It was mainly down to the fact that I was viewing this evening’s trading as a bit of ‘lost time,’ just trying to make up for the Premium Charge I’d been hit with today…
It turned out pretty well, and I just about filled the gap in my balance with a little to withdraw spare. But it did leave me wondering: What’s it like for others trading? Do you find on a Wednesday results can be a bit up and down due to staking a bit larger at times? Purely through frustration of the deduction? I would be interested to know. It generally hasn’t bothered me much before, but when the chunk gets bigger, it has started to play on my mind!
Bit of a short post, but I’ve got my boy this weekend, so probably won’t trade until Monday again now. Next time, I think I’ll post something up that could help some of the newer chaps after a few emails I’ve had… Let us know if you do similar things on a Wednesday! Have a good one!!
Left me with about 50 quid after their ‘PREMIUM Charge’. How I feel special.

Chuck, I see that you got a pivot monitor.
Can you record a demo if you are trading InRunning?
I am willing to invest on these but not sure of if I should do so.
Do you utilize any benefits out of it?
GL!
