Just going back to prices in general, I think it's a pretty flawed argument to say that a book is doing nothing wrong because they are not FORCING you to take the bet.
Say I go to McDonalds (which I wouldn't do more than once a year anyway), and my friend gets charged $3.50 for his meal.
Then I walk up, and they say 7.50 please. Is that fair. By using the reasoning mentioned above, this should be very fair, because I am not forced to take this line and i can say no. But is it really right? If others are allowed to buy at a normal price, then why should I be targetted to pay more for the SAME PRODUCT???
Makes no sense to me. My supermarket doesn't rush to raise their beer prices every time they see me walking in (evey though they know I pick up a few cases each time), so it seems that integrity exists out there in the real world. Unfortunately, some books don't seem to be able to abide by this code of practice, and choose to go about their business dishonestly.
Oh well, I'll do my share and I'll choose to never open up an account at a place that does this, and at the same time I'll close down any acounts I have which do so.
