Just noticed this software advertised on the right.  Does it work with windows 7 the 64 bit version?  When I tried to install it I get a message saying:

"Installation error -- unable to define installation folder.  The requested operation requires elevation".

I wish these messages were delivered in English!  I'm guessing lifting my keyboard and attempting to install it again won't work?

And what's this Betfair rapid like anyway?  Worth having?

As the say '05 you should know by now! :)

It is a one-click version of the betfair website basically.

Can be useful, can be dangerous.

I should know what by now?  I've been using Betfair virtually every day for 5 years but have only just heard of this Betfair rapid about an hour ago.

Does it work with windows 7 64 bit version?

Is there any other free software as good or better?

Just in 5 years, every day I would have thought you would have come across it.  No idea if it works on W7 64.

The Geeks Toy is free and Gruss does a months free trial I think.

No never heard of it.  Says it's new on the right!  Heard of things like Bet Angel.  Might try Geeks toy if I can't get this rapid thing to work.

Geek's toy is free and the best there is

the message: 'The requested operation requires elevation' usually means that you have to be logged onto the computer you're trying to install software on, as Administrator.

I don't have Windows 7, but I think you can right-click on the installer program and select something like 'Use as Adiministrator' .

Someone with Win7 would give you more info.

It's put itself into compatibilty mode and is now installing.  I like the idea that it refreshes itself all the time automatically.  I'm sick of continuously clicking the refresh button!

Hmmm . . no don't like this.  The order of the correct scores is different.  You can put it back to the original but it reverts back if you leave the market and return.  Also there aren't any of my markets under my markets and I can't work out how to place them there.  Think I'd rather just press refresh all the time!  I'll uninstall it.
