If sporting life added form to the races would be the better option

I hope the RP respond to feedback. Perhaps they did not realise how easy it was for people to use their
site as it was. I thought they had done a good job. I never criticised the RP. Not now, do they know what they are doing?  |

The whole thing is unbelievable . They are missing the vital info on the form main page , the winner of the race for each line. Clicking on every race to see the result is very time consuming and in turn will lead to misread info and incorrect selections.
I.e in graded racing there will be for instance 3 tiers withing one grade , at Romford you have open class A1's and then you have the not so class A1's . A dog could run 2 spots faster in lesser company and the only way to see this is look at which dog won the specific race. I'm sure this ridiculous idea is to misguide the new punters to the game . It's just one massive joke |

Agree 100% MH
Very time consuming and will lead to sloppiness imo. |
|
By:
Also viewing the info by app on a mobile it is impossible to view the form lines on one page . It's OK though as long as JK says it's fantastic..... ****

And speed rating? ???? Are they taking the piss !!!!!
|
|
By:
Also where are the rails, wide , ep , qaw comments???
|

By:
i am not sure what to think of this new format,are they wanting to make it harder or easier to read the form ,if they are making it harder on purpose then its to help the bookmakers and hinder us punters

its not perfect and yes I agree with case it is bowlarks that there isn't the facility to have an at a glance look at the card
lads...try this link http://greyhoundbet.racingpost.com/#card/race_id=1456085&r_date=2016-06-09&tab=form rather than this link http://greyhoundbet.racingpost.com/#card/race_id=1456085&r_date=2016-06-09&tab=card then you will see the form, the winner of the race etc in the same format as the RP site the speed rating was there on the original RP format as well |

It's fooking useless
The original site was so easy to use Somebody posted above that your can't read all the names quickly in advance when just scanning the name I thought I had found a solution if the press on card that hit that little arrow thingy it hides all the form and means you can at least see the six names if the dogs on your iPhone screen So I decided to starting at Fridays cards in the same manner But hay hoy when you look at cards that are at least 24 hrs in advance you can only select the form tab and not the card tab So you can not browse quickly the names unless it's the same days cards The system has been designed by idiots I wonder who at rptv had input it's got their brains splattered all over it |
|
By:
Much more clicking for the same information in a inferior layout.Why do it?
|
|
By:
all they had to do was link the race videos on the original racing post cards and it would have been magic,now its take 2 painkillers and look at the new site. nightmare,,

I presume that the sole purpose is to get people to bet through their app, where they make money. They made nowt from people accessing form, runners, news etc from the old site. They make plenty out of their horse racing app and presume that they can make money from the Greyhound app.
You have to ask why don't the gbgb provide these services? No form, no graded entries, no news ..... |
|
By:
Site is just totally NON USER FRIENDLY should be scrapped immediately ,Massive opportunity for the Sporting Life to Step in ,Lets hope they take it
 |
|
By:
Its a complete mess.

By:
A shambles...now unusable...have to use the bags form site which is fine, but no live shows which is aggravating
|

When that bloke on the left asked Dave what he reckoned on the new site yesterday on rptv
He did not have the guts to say what he really thinks, he hesitated mumbled some comment and changed the subject quickly When Hobsie retires he can assume his senior racing post and rptv position nicely |

Live shows are carried on the sporting life site

This wonderful new site won't even load for me. Why don't leave things alone? Idiots.

By:
Had to change my browser from Chrome to Edge to access this rubbish.
|
|
By:
Awful site now and have given it up.

The RPGTV has a very marginal and fragile betting slot on the betfair exchange when competing with other sports betting, the last thing that it needed is this unbelievable, unusable travesty and lack of a form guide race card. This sport needs every help it can get, but unfortunately I can't see them reverting back to the previous excellent race card form. Another self inflicted damage to the sport.

sparrow someone said earlier change from adblockplus to adblock on chrome and it loads no problem. Thanks max, but having tried the site on my other browser I will not be wasting any more time on that heap of garbage. |

Anyone contacted them?
|
|
By:
They will not care in the slightest.
The app is the huge revenue generator for them now and is apparently is starting to dwarf all other revenue streams. The greyhound site will be designed specifically to attract and convert punters as well as there is little other value to be derived from the greyhound punter. Did you even have to pay the membership fee to access the greyhound cards and form? The paper is a branding exercise and they clearly do not see the membership as a huge revenue stream for now with the removal of racing replays for horses etc. They are syndicating most of the membership content to bookmakers now anyway so it can be accessed there. The money is clearly in getting as close to the bookmakers as possible, so no changes that will appease people on here will be made unless it fits in with the objective of making every last bit of the site being used as an incentive to easily click through and bet. |

By:
Well I can safely say since the move over to the naf app I havnt had one bet on the greyhounds. It's a real sad situation. The odds are always against core punters and even more so now when we can't access proper form... unreal.
|
|
By:
Why cant you access proper form?.....the cards are still there as is the lifetime form. which is actually better as it now includes weights.....
|
|
By:
The site is fine on the PC. Everything is there, don't see what all the fuss is about unless it's hard to read on phone.
|
|
By:
Well where are the qaw mid wide comments? I'm not battling to give away my money on something that is so disorganised . Everything is in the bookies favour and right now it's an unfair challenge.

The android app mate . Such a waste of space. Can't even view the full card on one screen as on the Web page you could zoom out to compare.
|
|
By:
ok cheers
only thing I can suggest is contact them with your complaints and hopefully they will sort it its absolutely fine to view on my laptop |
|
By:
There was nothing wrong with the old format, no need to change
|
|
By:
agree with that deptford
|
|
By:
I agree Deptford, it makes it harder for me to back dogs not easier.
Why don't they just keep both formats, it will all be generated automatically anyway. It is not even designed well for an App |
|
By:
I couldn't find anywhere to access form properly for Henlow so no bets for me tonight.
I use a laptop and it's just hopeless for reading form. Just clicking for evermore drives you mad. |

Have just been offered a job at the racing post as senior coffee maker on £200 per hour
I think this new greyhound app is absolutely fantastic and a vast improvement over the old site  |
