But seriously, Dan and Jed (and John) are right and Chris is wrong. So I declare. I guess I like powerful people too.

I reckon they will never "threaten" a customer again. I call it professionalism, and so should Intrade. But what matters most to me is their apparent willingness to join the debate. We should never take that for granted. In fact, we should cherish it. - I would be interested to know how "the industry" feels about betfair's bet matching logic, should any of the regulars on here know.  http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlG28B-R8Y
