Wondering if it has got something to do with this betfair google chrome extension ,it would tie in with the time it started playing up.Mischief

Betfair has launched a new web browser add-on enabling users to view the Betting Exchange's prices and place bets on Betfair while browsing the websites of most of its competitors.

'Betfair Everywhere' is a Google Chrome plug-in extension which uses keyword technology to overlay Betfair's odds on the websites of its competitors.

The add-on also allows users to view Betfair odds and place bets while surfing other selected sports news websites (including Betting.Betfair).


I don't use it,but it might be the problem with Google chrome.

If you google it you will see there is a common problem with shockwave and google. Google downloads its version of shockwave when downloading google chrome. To run shockwave on other browsers you have download separate copies of shockwave and you can therefore easily have three copies and they start to conflict. If y0u type in the browser of google  chrome chrome://plugins it will tell you what plugins you have and if you have multiple copies.
The web will give you some solutions to this common problem if you type in shockwave crashes.

does anyone get a problem with the racecard where , when u put the cursor arrow over the horse name, the trainer name and previous positions in race come up, but only for the first race you click on, as soon as you go to another race , putting cursor over name doesnt bring up anything, if you refresh it works again, but refreshing takes you back to menu and you have to go to race again, pain in the foooookin @rse

BAMOS!

When browsing in reg mode, cache/cookies have a way of "setting". When entering private/incognito mode, nothing is "saved", so you start with blank canvas each time. I have mine set to open in private mode by default. If you wish to do the same then simply right click on the app shortcut, click on properties..and inside the target box, make a space at the end of exe and add "-incognito" exactly as shown in image below..
