Try going on the Daily Mail website (not that I read that rubbish) without uBlock Origin. It's unusable and you cannot read a thing. Last time I checked 150 trackers on 1 page + 22 ads that move!

Ad blockers are a modern tragedy of the commons. Everybody should use one, but that stops websites earning money from click-throughs, so the sites either close or start charging.

By:
When does the charge start? Used it today for price comparison and it seemed as usual.
|
|
By:
KC -- charging is only for some features, although "more coming soon".

£10 a month is 30p a day, give or take. Is it worth 30p for whatever parts you use?

only a complete idiot would pay 9.99

Barstewards mob may have hit the nail squarely on the swede. Pointed out that Oddschecker were coining it with mug punters clicking through the bookies' links and therein taking a cut.
They postulate that the endless stream of mugs has dried up and now they are forced to charge punters £10 to view price changes, Andy Holding's 'bad each way' tips etc. |

Surely by reducing the amount of people that can see the grids will in turn upset the bookmakers who pay to be there , good luck with that oddschecker can’t see many takers.

By:
You can still see unlimited price grids afaik. It is just the price history of an individual selection that is restricted.

By:
£9.99 a month in this economic climate is just going to drive away customers. Maybe that's what they want?!

By:
It is just the price history of an individual selection that is restricted. hmm, pehaps that benefits bookmakers over the long run? There is always a reason...

Oddschecker is no longer owned by bookmakers. It was sold a couple of years ago to an American private equity (PE) outfit, who will be looking to get their £150 million back, especially if the cost of any loans they took out has gone up with rising interest rates.
People object to paying £10 a month which is only 30p a day. I reckon they might do better charging 30p for the first paywalled transaction of each day but maybe it is impractical to put such tiny amounts onto a credit card. Tbh I only look at one page, once a day, which is free for the time being. |

only 30p a day
justify anything by doing this. get 10,000 people paying you "only 30p a day" (nobody's going to miss that) and you're clearing 100k a year. |
|
By:
100k a year would barely make a dent in the costs of keeping oddschecker up and running, so that doesn't seem an excessive aim?
|
|
By:
maybe the exchanges should start charging? Bookmakers must have saved a fortune by using them rather than employing staff to compile odds

My first thought when I got blocked from accessing previous odds and asked for money was buggers,,,but I’ve used the site for 15 years and it’s super helpful for me…I’m paying it …just hope they don’t produce more rings to go thru……There was a site called bestbetting.com. They seem to have disappeared they were the only ones I ever come across who were closish to Oddschecker
