Oddschecker

Been on for last 10 mins, seems fine.

What is Oddschecker, please?

Seems fine only thing I had to do was increase the print size

Well, the print is noticeably smaller, the default setting is decimal odds, a lot of space on the page is devoted to the various excellent and verifiable, truthful free bet offers, and worst of all the exchange prices appear (when on fractional setting) as such indecipherable figures as 53/9 and 130/19.

It's the oldest story, change for change's sake, pushed through no doubt by various upgrade consultants who have to justify their employment.

why did it need to be changed, at first look it was better the way it was in my opinion. By any chance do the same people who run this place run oddschecker too as they seem to like changing things just for the sake of it

Probably OK except for that extremely annoying yellow band across the bottom of the screen - any idea how to get rid of that please?

It is now crashing on me

And me.

Crashing all the time for me with the message "Whoops! Sorry, we dropped the ball!"

nearly cost me as didn't realise prices were decimal and thought i'd got a big arb.........can't get back to show fractional.

posy,

See Settings,

Fractional Decimal U.S. Winnings!

Just been on the site. Failed.!! Clicking on a bookmakers price does not automatically direct you to a betting slip on the corresponding bookmaers site( as it did before. Is this a 'blip' or has the new redesign overlooked this ?

Nor can you login to, 'My Bookies'!

looks a fookin mess, default odds decimal so have to change to decimal constantly, text is tiny, betslip not working, grrrrrrrrr

default odds decimal so have to change to *fractional constantly

Hope you've all emailed Oddschecker with your complaints. A good site ruined imo !

Has a scroll down bar next to the times for whatever meeting you are on, which lists times of all races, but when I click on to a race it dose not change. Anyone else having that problem?

Its now crashed al together

Navigation from race to race was much easier on the old site

Just logged out and tried to log back in. Failed

Google message :-

'This web page has a redirect loop'


What a total shambles!!

What are they doing with this site? Leave it as it is. "Sorry we dropped the ball" it keeps saying

What a f*cking shambles!

Still, it can only get better!

Here we go again, loads of dumb pointless annoying needless changes for everyone's benefit except the end user.

Seems to be getting better as the morning goes on. Was very slow early one.

my apologies, it looked okay at 7.20 this morning next time i'll open my eyes

where the hell has the login box gone?

You can't send them, Feedback, either!

Mind you, they probably wouldn't want to know what i think of it!

How do you spell,

F*cking shambolic?

Are lads gone from oddschecker for everybody?

I think the only way the "upgraded" site will be replaced by the much better previous version is if everyone boycotts it.

Different colour red limey but still bottom price on everything !!!

AS has already been said navigation between races is now a joke . Previously you could hover over a  meet at the top of the page and a drop down of every race would appear . Why remove that ? Now you have to faff about clicking on each individual meet and then scrollng down to find your race . walofs

not a lot wrong with the site before but now its worse and they will lose customers

why the f uck do they change something that works 0.k.

Can't get any Market Reports to work (best facility of the site, imho). So cant info on today's Steamers or Drifters.  Oh well might as well take the rest of day.  Hope it's back up tomorrow.

Wonder why they messed with something that seemed to be working fine?

the site was brilliant before why didnt they ask us the customers what changes we would like ffs

You get the impression that upgrade(?) has been done by someone who never actually uses the site for real.  That applies to a lot of sites tbf.

Anyone know how to loose the yellow banner at the bottom of the Market Reports page?  It seems to be blocking the pull down menus from the various reports.

Dreadful. When looking at one race meeting,the list of other meetings is now absent.What a load of rubbish.

computer consultants have to eat I suppose

email and let them know what you think: feedback@oddschecker.com

can anyone get the markets to load on the mobile site???? i cant and i need it all day every day!!!! have tried loading the app again but still no joy. am having to use betrescue.

Be careful with non-runners for place terms as this is now shown differently at bottom of page. 2.10 Folkestone today shows 2/9 when it would have previously shown 2/11. Was just thinking it wasn't worth an ew bet with only 2 places before I realised!

still nothing happens when i try to change presentation from decimal to fractional

The dealer, spam, REPORTED.

Another racing site/business, totally dependent on advertising revenues
from our friends, the bookmakers. Probably given a directive to jazz it up,
make it more attractive to punters, more app like. Don't worry about the functionality
bell and whistles, flashy colours, that'll get em punting.

I have emailed them about the annoying yellow bar and i`m still waiting for a reply,i agree with everyone that the site was brilliant before and now it`s just cluttered with useless information,for example the table that shows the bookies free bets and special offers above the odds table is just a complete waste of space,punters who use oddschecker are not interested in opening an account with a bookmaker just for the free bets,also the race times are now about 4 inches away from the odds table !

sent 2 emails yesterday - no response. Customer service ? - a joke !

Sportinglife were just the same, ^^ pots kettles and all.
Good to see you back, facts.

Did this thread start in the Penrith tearooms, by Mrs Branny haseth

saddo,my username has nothing to do with the website,i concur it`s now also rubbish !

Got to agree new OC so slow and much, much harder to navigate than before.

As I've said previously easyodds is much faster and much easier to use - I'd highly recommend for a more consistent service that won't break!

I liked oddschecker because you could move out of the way the books you can't ever get a bet on with.  Seems that facility has been removed.

Agree a lot going on now on OC - There are alternatives out there though chaps - Easyodds is great, clean, fast and easy to navigate (prob the fastest racing results around too), not to mention the vast array of content from industry experts if you like a good read on all the big events on the horizon too........

Ginger_Genius/ NEWTON, how long have you worked for 'em?


Ginger_Genius 05 Nov 12 16:20
Easyodds also run a free monthly racing tipping competition called Top Tipster, first prize is a free £300 bet with ****. Well worth checking out


Ginger_Genius 07 Nov 12 09:05

Btw just been on easyodds and saw they're running a free £5 X Factor bet, no deposit required.

Not sure if any of you lot are into reality TV but might as well do it if it's a no strings attached free bet!

just had a look at easyodds,will be using that from now on.

Emailed them yesterday and again today about the blasted yellow banner at the bottom of their page...........no response.  Still can't access Market Reports pages.  Looks like another day off.

Why oh why did those Merchant Bankers have to go and mess with a perfectly good site????????????

I can get the market reports pages.

Newton ... can you default to decimal on easyodds ?  Eevry time I change races it goes back to fractional.

easy odds a breat of fresh air.ill be using it from now on also

Come on NEWTS, sort it out, chance to grab some business hear.

I do particularly like the feature that they now have, whereby if you hover your cursor over a particular firms name just above the betting guide on the horses, it gives a a brief description of the firm and offers.

I will single out the Hills one:

It says:

A trusted and well established bookmaker ( Even though people are getting their accounts hacked)

All markets covered & BOG on daily horse and greyhound racing ( until they exclude you from having BOG)

and the last line, my favourite...

Caters for BOTH Casual and Professional punters alike



WALOFS

see what you mean saddo

Aye, it's an ill wind etc

saddo, yes I'm on commission with easyodds so please register with them :)

In all seriousness I discovered them a while ago after rotating between Oddschecker and Betrescue for a while.

It's not perfect but you certainly get less issues than on other sites.

Can't fault you for making hay, m8

What has happenned to the pie chart showing the level of betting activity on each horse per race,used to be with racecard and betting preview. Useful to see if fools seldom differ!
Can anyone access this?
