Does anyone actually use the new site? Putting yourself at a disadvantage straight away if you are.
was nothing wrong with old site, new one is a pain in the backside.
the new site looks like something disney would make.
HATED the new site originally but forced myself to test it for a week, cos the old site is gonna go in the end....few months on & I wouldn't go back to the old site for all the tea in China.

i've been using the new site...
The new is the biggest load of sh#t i have ever seen,just try clicking on an inplay treble for instance and watch the odds drop right before your very eyes. I took an away team inplay yesterday at 1.45,when i looked at the price on my treble it was1.36.It took 20 mins of play before it got to my given price of 1.36.I have complained twice now and suprise suprise,no reply.Stick to the old site and only go to the new if you like watching prices change and lots of the suspended monkey.
Old. The new one is sh1te. The problem with Betfair is that they never address the real issue. This being that the site is still unbelievably slow and is prone to crashing without warning. At the end of the day they don't give a damn about the people who use it. As long as the executives continue to line their pockets with our cash then who really cares?

I dont like how they've stripped all the extra "exchange" information on the New site and turned it into something that looks like a William Hill site.
I want the market depth, volume, amount available and graphs to be visible at first glance as is on the old site without and having to click through a further 2 pages to finally get to it because betfair decided to hide it all under the carpet.

The graphs are screwed on the new site, but the old site freezes on market switching. Can't win.
old for trading in running. new is only better if u are a 1bet per market type player.
can you explain to me why i'm at a disadvantage using the new site for my inplay trading? i only started using betfair regularly in august so don't really know any different.
old site.
the new site is probably the worst thing betfair have ever done, including the PC.

I find it crashs a lot and can take for ever to load a new market..... 2/3 minutes sometimes.....i soon gave up on it

Old, the gutting of the exchange multiples to force us to use the new beta multiples (which I refuse to) is particularly desperate
I use the old one for Aussie football and the new site for the rest and can't say I noticed any significant difference in performance (the often mentioned crashes and slow loading of the market etc. do not affect me at all). What is more annoying than anything else are the ads for casino, slots, instant games etc., and they take more screen space on the new site.
The charts in the new site sometimes show more available offers than the old site charts (more price levels populated with offers) or look slightly different which I find difficult to explain.

Old .I tried using the new one and 5 mins later vowed never to use it again .
I use the new site, mainly because I only started using Betfair seriously in the past year so I didn't really see much difference. I did try the old site a couple of times though and I just didn't like it, it seems too outdated, sort of like the websites you'd see in the 90's.
The new site is very quick for me and never any slow loading in the markets. Only problem I've had with the new site is the crashes that happened about 3 times so far. Otherwise I like it.

There are so many annoying glitches on the new site, I wouldn't know where to start.
OLD .... pity BF doesn't listen to what their customers want ...
BCM ... is at home with "Do Not Disturb" sign on front door ...
old. Takes twice as long to place bets on the new because of all the scrolling. And other problems on the betslip that they have messed up because they are trying to do it from a fixed odds template.
Tried the new site for a short while, it looks cheap, and the market tabs have lost something, the old site are made to look like buttons, on the new site its difficult to tell. Also the number font in the box looks smaller, I already use reading glasses and dont want to max the screen any more.
I wonder if the motive is just like the so called email system upgrades that you see, which are really about using less memory and cheaper costs.

Is it still possible to use/ access the old site? I always did, but now it changed to the new site and can't find an option to change it back.
what came first, the chicken or the egg and explain your reasoning?
jesp- use this link to revert to the old site

I use the old mostly for familarity - as I guess most people do - but what I consider a key facility doesn't seem to be on the new site i.e. the my markets/customise markets feature. The key to getting over peoples inbuilt dislike of change is to demonstrate that new is better and not to provide less.
Dont like change or upsets in my routine..Old one for me every time
old for me too
tried the new one for a spell as I was worried in case they just suddenly switched off the old, and even after going back to old because I couldn't find stuff, I went back to the new site to try again.
placed a few bets on new, got done out of a few decent prices because I never realised at first that the prices they were offering were less than exchange prices and eventually after not being able to look at my bets, I finally switched back to old again.

Old . Too many problems with the new , not least that when you click on a graph half of it is missing.
I like the new site.
NOT REALLY!!!
It's shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

the new one is unresponsive on my pc, click click, and nothing. it cost me a few bob one day, then it was goodbye to the pile of sh ite
Old, nothing like seeing the big words THIS MARKET HAS BEEN SUSPENDED when you are on goals bets, i do like the fact that on the new site you have cashout available for more markets.

Plain basic simplicity that can be used quickly not fancy dan shiite.

Old. The new site does not support spread betting (range bets as Betfair call them).
It doesn't even make sense. I rarely use betfair these days, but just logged in to bet on the costa rican play-off in 50 minutes time. Betting available on old site.............this match is nowhere to be seen on the new site and doesn't appear in AGT!!!! How can they possibly display matches on one version that aren't available on the other? I am baffled
my bad, got time zones messed up :( It is Sunday 2am (i.e. 24 hours from now). Anyway, the old site is better as everybody else has said. If you place any form of multiple on the new site, you reduce your winnings by approximately 5-10%
just use geeks toy anyway, both betfair sites are a pile of w*nk! If you don't have an API, you are behind the game
