Old for me.
Old with XP as well - creaking a bit. |
|
By:
old site. I'd be astonished if many heavy users use the new site. It is badly designed in so many ways.

|
|
By:
old , i cant remember last time i used the new site. mines on xp as well, im gonna be **** in a week or so when windows pull the plug on the support for it
 |
|
By:
Old, unequivocally.
I even gave the new one a try a few days ago. Unusuable, ugly and unnecessary. |
|
By:
Old here as well. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it!)
Can't stand the new site. |
|
By:
Purple would love Betfair to to close the old site.
|
|
By:
Old site here - long time since I last checked the new. If we eventually forced to use it I'd only view BF through my api, unless they make big changes to what I last saw.
|

By:
I understand why they had to construct the new site (in layman's terms, bolting to the data base), but still stuns me graphically.
The old site is still easier to look at the prices 'at a glance', spacing of tiles, fonts, etc. |
|
By:
Old site for me as well. Haven't even looked at the new one in ages. Gave up on it given BF's refusal to correct basic failures such as the listing of unmatched bets in odds order rather that just what appeared to be a random order on the new site.

In fact just for the hell of it I thought I would look to see if things have changed, especially with the Grand National coming up and the Masters round the corner - both large field events that you may want to run a book on, or get involved in multiple runners.
So I just did a lay field on the National. Back over open bets. Teaforthree should be listed first right? Not a bit of it. My open bets has somehow decided Vesper Bell should be top of the list. Teaforthree is listed second. But hang on, I want to amend my Monbeg Dude bet to shorter odds.......OK Monbeg Dude, damn - scrolled down the list and couldn't find him. Start again.. take it easy this time....Monbeg, Monbeg......hmmmm, Ah found it - 6th from the bottom ffs Same sh*t as they say |

....now, imagine in-running....

By:
LOL

By:
The Vis, you can also add to that the fact they do not show the open bets to payout either, its complete and utter madness, the new site is designed by people that have no idea how to use the site.
Old site definitely for me, the new site is unusable |
|
By:
I entirely get it when people say they prefer the old site for things like laying the field or speed of getting bets on. What I can never get my head around is people who say they prefer how it looks - it's monumentally ugly IMO. Is it just status quo bias (no one likes change)?
|
|
By:
old for me too. Hate the fact it defaults to some sort of soccer coupon that I don't even understand but it's better than whatever that deep blue mess is.
|
|
By:
Old for me too.
The new site is still shocking. |
|
By:
yep old all the time
|
|

Most of the time on the old site although I find navigation much easier on the new site. I do a lot of bets with partial settlements and it can get pretty expensive when the new site pretends that it includes settled runners.
That's probably my only massive problem remaining with the new site. That's not to say it's that good especially for a full re-design. The old site is a bit like a classic car where once you know all the problems with it, you operate around them and get really good performance. I guess in the same analogy the new site is an electric car where people tell you that it's better for everyone but when you run someone over who didn't hear you coming you're not so sure. |

Betfair is going to close the old site this year after worldcup. Really disappointed.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|

By:
I use the new site, it was the default when I joined betfair last year so I guess I just got accustomed to it, don't like the old site at all when I've used it
