Surely 2.50 back minus 2.50 lay equals zero if matched at the same price?

whats the problem?
step 1 - open bet quack account step 2 - deposit a tenner in to account step 3- open up lv on quack and use the better liquidity from bf to bet, its the same as using bf lv. my only regret is that quacks liquidity is so poor because id be out of here like a light. in a way they are as bad as bf as they dont seem to want to entice anyone over there even tho bf run their company v inefficiently, but there really isnt any other option for us at the mo unless quack get the finger out that is. |

I will repeat for anyone that doesn't understand...
BF have increased the fee (twice) for an utterly shít product.. |

By:
BQ use the same service (now there's a joke name) providers as BF. Even when both are open BF's is slightly faster. I only use BQ when BF's is playing up and most. of the time when that happens BQ's is down as well. The problem, mostly, is the service provider. I'm surprised BF went down the road of increasing the price before they could ensure the quality of the pictures.

Thanks Bilbo. I am hoping that's the case because I can't expand the LV on purple without changing my screen resolution.
I'm not adverse to paying for a service, I subscribe to RUK for their picture quality and reliability, but £20 per month for RUK is a far cry from £5 per ATR race, and I'm in your school when it comes to the "but you're not going to loose every race" clowns. Bad runs happen far more often than good runs, if they didn't we would all be millionaires. |

pugs, you don't need to change the screen res, open a daq page, use "ctrl +" two or 3 times before you aceess live vid, when you open live vid you'll get a bigger pic, just use "ctrl -" in reverse on your daq betting page to revert that to normal

'I can't expand the LV on purple without changing my screen resolution.'
Pugs, When I expand the Betfair LV all that happens is the window gets larger, but the video inside it remains at the same ludicrously small size. Any help with this would be much appreciated. |
|
By:
if i do it before i open the video, eg you increase the size of your betfair/daq size first then open live vid it should work at a larger size
|

By:
Loper, I take aggregate to mean the sum of 2 or more amounts, i.e, a football score.
Ilikewavingatbuses. The purple LV is about a third to half a second behind BF, but the big problem is you cannot expand the embedded flash player. |

OK, Pugs, I hope you're right.
As far as the size of LV is, though, I zoom in and magnify thewindow but the actual video screen inside the window still remains tiny. |

Loper, you can either use CTRL+ to increase or CTRL- to reduce, OR if using "Chrome" browser, click the spanner on the top right and you will see "zoom" in the menu.
Elise, I have tried everything with the purple LV, even the "MediaPlus" browser extension but cannot get anything to work. Are you saying they work for you? What browser are you using? |
|
By:
Thanks Pugs, I've got it!
 |
|
By:
Loper, yes I also hope my definition is correct AND the problem you seem to have increasing your BF LV is the same problem I'm having increasing my purple LV. I wonder if it's a browser or setting issue

Pugs the key word is aggregate .. as in a two legged football match where the aggregate score would be 2-1 and 2-1 = 4-2 the aggregate amout of £5 would be a £2.50 back/lay trade to give you the aggregate £5 bet.
So effectively the cost to view the race is a £2.50 back/lay trade insead of £2 .. big deal its 2/3p net loss difference. |
|
By:
Thanks flyingkipper, I do hope that's the case.
When the "loophole" was first closed I did £2 back/lay trades, but it just felt wrong doing this, so I used a basic trigger for a £2 bet per race in the place market with loss recovery, which has worked fine but I will certainly not be trying this at £5 per race, so I won't now care how wrong it feels. |
|
By:
£2.50 will do the job
|
|
By:
i see, ty pugs.
|
|
By:
I'm pretty sure you just need to put up a £5 lay at 1.01, go to the live feed, then cancel the lay
|

By:
has to be a matched bet qqking
 |
|
By:
qqking, They said that was a "loophole" and closed it a few weeks ago so only "matched" bets would work

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated....? |

By:
Did you scroll down to the 14.00 Ripon or just click the "top" 11.37 Ripon?
|
|
By:
My £35 (£5x7) today to watch Ripon's card on a tiny screen
is the same price as for a Tatt's ticket for the Champ Hdle at next March's Festival. Still no queue for the toilet here |

Seems like a lot of fuss about nothing - and we might actually have a better reason to complain about a rotten service - or at least it gives Betfair a stronger reason to complain to the service providers - 'Look here -we charge our customers £5 every race - we need this to work....'
|
|
By:
OH I see. Well I wish you luck with your selections and make full use of the facilitys
|

Seems a reasonable and logical assumption to make so don't expect it to happen. |

used to be free to watch.
then you had to put £2 on. Now it's £5.... it's ridiculous. |
