In my view it's only a matter of time before hackers figure out that it's free money to fool people into giving you their betfair passwords and then proceed to dump money to their friends in losing bets on the site.

Only download .exe files that you are 100% sure come from reputable sources.
Sadly I can't argue with any of that... however I can offfer a suggestion. Many of us these days have at least one outdated pc/laptop kicking around. Combine this with a brand new,poorly funded, and regularly emptied betfair account and you have a test bed.
