Not Betfair specifically.
Im talking more of players taking the playthrough to the letter and being labeled a bonus abuser.
If a site is crazy enough to offer a player the edge. That will only invite players to abuse (take advantage of the bonuses).
I dont see a bonus as a money making method. Only as a way to extend play.
Most of us realize that bonuses are there as incentives to play.
I consider it entrapment if a player is given an edge over the house.
That's not how bookmakers and casino's work, nor has it been for 100's of years. Why change now?
A BookMaker makes the "books". They are only accountants, keeping the house edge to maintain profits.
If a bookmaker offers me 3/1 for both horses on a 2 horse race, I will snap their fingers off. That is not abuse. That is piss poor bookmaking.
So I say if a player can gain a house edge over a Casino because of the bonus structure, then they havent done their accounts right. They deserve to lose. It's not abuse.
As for the bot thing, they should be extinct if bonuses were set up right. Who wants to lose quicker without getting the pleasure of playing the games.
