Bet match me

Especially after the last race, that winner had no form, obviously a trainer gamble our absent friends

Rip off race, backed the 2nd/3rd/5th and layed 4th in the top 2 market, lucky I didn’t lose, made modest profit

Just read up of this - 'Match Me' Feature.

Great piece of programming by Betfair - However  ...

I am both disappointd - and Bemused as to why ...

MatchMe is only available for back bets placed on Mobile. 

How does that Programming NOT work for Desktop Computer users?

All about bloody mobiles these days.

MATCHME - THE LOWDOWN
Who can use MatchMe?

Available for all customers who use the betfair.com site (not those who use .IT .ES and ANZ)

Where will MatchMe be available?

Available on the Exchange mobile site & app

What type of bets are MatchMe available for?

All Back bets on traditional odds-style markets (so not markets such as Asian Handicaps)

"How does that Programming NOT work for Desktop Computer users?"

There are several features available / not available on desktop vs mobile or implemented differently - why the surprise?

I would guess that it is more needed on mobile as it is more of a faff to shift the odds down to get matched on a phone than the desktop site?

"All about bloody mobiles these days."

People are doing more stuff on their phones these days.  I bet a lot of younger people do not have a laptop/PC, but just about everyone has a smartphone?

1.01 landed as longbridge defends betfair blocking desktops and laptops.

True - But not just Betting sites ...

Try booking seats at Wembley Stadium - from the Interactive Ticketmaster site used - on a Phone... or rather (like everybody else) just give up - as it is next to impossible- far too small, and the Seat icons only reactive to a Mouse Cursor.

- and just how anybody can comprehensively study, and ABSORB, a RACECARD ADEQUATELY on a Mobile phone is absolutely beyond me

My point, though - longbridge - to which you appear to have missed the point - is ...

If this feature has been Programmed INTO the Mobile facility  MARKETs -

Then why cannot, or HAS is NOT, it been incorporated/duplicated into the [b]MAIN SITE[b], too?

Sparrow - I was not defending anything - I was just trying to think through the rationale.

onlooker - I do not think I have missed your point - the desktop dutching feature is on every market, where it is not available at all on mobile, for instance - different features for different things.
