i've got it on the iphone and the ipad. It's pretty much the same. The only time I really use it is on my iphone if I happen to be out which is the best thing about it. You can do nearly everything you can do on your pc except no taking sp option or keep in play option.
Report Stake & Chips February 23, 2013 9:28 AM GMT
Pretty sure you can have keep in play option on Ipad...not sure about SP.

if you want to use the forum then you can go to safari and then type in betfair forum into google and get into it from there

my main problem with it is you can't watch the videos of races on the atr and sporting life sites as the ipad does not support adobe. otherwise you could do all your studying on it.

Surely there is only one problem with it that matters?????You cant use Gruss on it Cry.Well strictly speaking that is not true but the ways available like teamviewer etc are too slow for placing bets.

I hardly bet in-running middleman so that doesn't affect me. yeah if he wants it for that then no good

You can keep IP and SP on the phone app. You have to click on your bet and update, then select keep in play or sp.

No idea on the ipad. Microsoft new Surface Pro Tablet will allow all application to run including executables that need to be run along with BF.

if you download the 'Puffin' browser you can watch video replays from atr, free for 30 days or summit.

thanks eirered, i'll try that now. Knew there must have been some way
Report middleman February 23, 2013 10:14 AM GMT
Eirered,does that work for sporting life videos aswell?
Report Stevie Gerrard February 23, 2013 10:15 AM GMT
that works eirered and on the sporting life site as well. although quality not as good as on pc. I wonder if that photon flash video player might be better quality. I shall give it a go
Report warhan February 23, 2013 10:49 AM GMT
The ibetmate app for the iphone lets u select sp and keep in play as u place a bet,far better than the official app.Photon flash player is a bit blurred and a pain in the backside to navigate(have to keep activating and deactivating the flash player when searching for vids to make it easier)but is better than nothing.The ipad is convenient but nothing beats a pc,does anyone know if u can watch the vids on an imac or is it the same problem as the ipad?
Report spyker February 23, 2013 10:57 AM GMT
No probs watching vids on imac - apart form outdated sites like RUK, though I haven't looked for a while and they might have caught up with the rest of the world by now.
Report Stake & Chips February 23, 2013 10:58 AM GMT
Don't underestimate how much using the Ipad keyboard is a pain in the arris...PC much better overall, but obviously useful if you are travelling and desperate for a bet ExcitedWhoops
Report Stevie Gerrard February 23, 2013 11:11 AM GMT
I hardly use the ipad while my PC is on but now and again if I need to do a number 2 and a race is on then can throw a pound on one of the bookie sites and then watch the vid of the race.
