As i type i have the match odds market open. In firefox it shows approx 60k on the back side of Inter. In IE it shows 23k. Why is this?

One of the reasons I use firefox.

When I use IE, it shows my balance as £3300

With Firefox, it shows it as just over £9K :)

Lucky you Shapeshifter :-)
But seriously the amounts available in Firefox and IE differed enormously at times in the 30mins before the match. I do a bit of trading every now and then on the footie, to try and get a free bet for a bit more interest and Ive never noticed it before.
At one point I had an order in too lay Inter @ 3.35 the amount showing differed by about 40k available at that price. How on earth would I know how close my bet is too being taken?

did you refresh them both at the same time?
Report Moose • April 20, 2010 8:30 PM BST
Obviously not exactly the same lol but pretty much Reyes. But the amount was pretty consistent on each browser

thousands matched every 10 secs on a game like this near the off

Tobermory I understand that. Ive been betting on the footie since ive been on here. Trust me this was not money being matched. There was 40k difference between FF and IE at a price that was not being matched at the time, I realise that unmatched bets could have been being taken down, but why over a 30min period would the amount on FF always be higher? That just doesn't make sense. My screen was refreshing every 1 second on IE. The amounts stayed consistently different.

To answer my own question lol

I have 3 windows open now on the Bayern game tomorrow, a fairly static market at the moment

IE and FF show the same amounts

but

IE using 'classic view', which i usually do, has significantly different amounts in the market

Why is this?
Report brendanuk1 • April 20, 2010 10:32 PM BST
wild guess, because classic view in internet explorer is crap?

try it in a third browser

Maybe its betfairs money on the cross matching aspect not showing on one of them.
Report brendanuk1 • April 20, 2010 10:45 PM BST
betfair dont care what browser you use. It will be bug in ie classic view as think it tries to be compatible with ie 6 which was broken piece of carp in the first place
