I have raised a couple of issues with Betfair around their Live Video in particular with ATR tracks, Betfair say they are unaware of either.

1) On Boxing day last year the latency on ATR tracks via LV became the lowest it has ever been. This continued for around 6 weeks, after which (imo) it slowed, albeit still far better than it has been for the previous years. Anyone agree/disagree?

2) The stopping of the slow mo freeze frame a yard or so before the line in close contests in particular at the Ascot July meeting and also a few occasions at Chester. I noticed that the slow mo worked okay at Ascot on the Shergar cup. Has it been sorted or have there been other instances of this?

I would appreciate others thoughts on the above and feel free to add any other issues regarding the ATR /Sky racing tracks and i'll pass them on, or tell them to read this thread!

why do betfair continually deny they are unaware of anything, how? do they not read the forum, do they not look at twitter, i really do despair, where are the 'LV team' they used to have, can they not give out any answers on anything regarding lv......what is the current latency, what was the previous latency, what is the maximum latency we can get to

i did testing about 3 years ago with atr and betfair when the video kept cutting out 2f from home, 5 days was not enough sample size but we did resolve the problem, they need to listen to all us in runners who know what they are talking about, trouble is anyone half decent has left betfair a long time ago hence why it is in the state it's in

thebootman...

personally i'd say some tracks on some days are better than others...

YARMOUTH is one of the worst imv...

no idea why but it always seems to be that way as far as i am concerned...

the stopping of slow mo freeze frames is still carrying on imv...

there was even one at windsor recently when they stopped the slow mo in a 3 way head-bobber t show a head on from 2 furlongs out instead...

very strange imv...

keep up the excellent work btw.
Report bettinghelp August 12, 2019 6:28 PM BST
To say they are unaware of issues just sums up the company's attitude to customers.

LV is a joke, and has been for years. Almost daily problems over the last few weeks alone include freezing slow-mo before the line, black screens, white screens, coloured 'test card' screens, messages that you haven't bet £2 even if you've bet hundreds, service unavailable until seconds before post time, CS ignoring complaints, pics stuttering as soon as the race starts. 

Betfair staff in general have staggeringly limited knowledge of their own product along with a distinct lack of cohesion and co-ordination between different departments. Therein lies the real issue, imo.
Report dustybin August 12, 2019 6:41 PM BST
Id be surprised if there ever was anything resembling a 'live video team'. The general business practice is to strip away all value until you have nothing more than a bare bones minimum expenditure....refering to members of staff as though they are either specifically trained in an area or not just a dog's body expected to do all things for as little pay as possible is the general proceedure by corporations to appear customer centric.

You will get a limited response as most aren't bothered as they are using face time pictures as the BLV is such a poor product and RUK pictures are as slow as they have ever been !

I think youre right bootman, lv was slightly faster on sky tracks when they first went over to sky.

I'd be asking why is it now not as fast as it was as it worked perfectly, so no excuses as to why slowed down slightly
and I'd be asking again, why is rtv uk faster than rtv Ireland when both being used on fibre
Report thebootman August 12, 2019 7:02 PM BST
Thanks all so far, hopefully more people add comments (even if they are now using face time!), in particular to the 2 questions posed.

Can't disagree with what else has been said. My LV issues tend to be cyclical, I had a 3 month period where I never had an issue, but the last 2 months it's been 1 problem after another, so they should be well aware of performance (lack of) issues.

thebootman , any chance of asking ATR to provide betfair the ability to provide us to watch races with full screen HD pictures

there is no reason why we should only be allowed to watch on such a small screen .
Report john92 August 12, 2019 7:12 PM BST
They should know exactly what speed it is as has been said.

The photo at Windsor hibby mentions was laughable. There's a couple of threads somewhere it was documented for a few days then I haven't noticed it since but I give a few sky tracks a miss now so I'm not the best source.

The lv team never clearly never existed. Something to say to fob people off, and even if they did a huge problem is that I've been told in the past that certain people are not customer facing.....  that's a huge problem.

An issue with a 2 quid bet by some typical punter is one thing but the more technical people at the site could improve it if they would deal with people like us directly. We would then know issues had at least been listened to instead of something like chief Wiggum and his invisible typewriter.

At this point I'm far more inclined to give meetings a miss or turn the pc off if there's problems rather than try and do anything.

Speed and reliability were both way better at the beginning of the year, the latter definitely slipping lately. Slow mo absolutely was a thing (not sure now) as well. Unbelievable that they do not have someone whose job it is to make sure all is as it should be at the start of every meeting imo.

I think it swings in roundabouts. Some days/weeks are good then it's poor then good again
Could be a number of reasons, certain tracks, weather, holidays, facetimers etc etc but its been the same for years.


Agree liquidity could be better and it's not perfect but as said there's still plenty, it's just maybe harder to get it
anyway, hopefully it picks up for you again!

james...

i look at every winner's graph after the race...

there used to be 4 figures many times as you go from 1.01 to say 1.3...

now it is very occasional that you see a 4 figure sum apart from 1.01...

and it shows how bad things have got that you say 11k at 1.01 is a good indication of in running liquidity...

a few years ago that would have been 4 times as much on that horse...

like i say...

last knockings now...

certainly for me at least.
