When the paywall blocks after a few free clicks, delete site cookies and it starts again.

The Oddschecker paywall only affects heavy users and those who want premium content like Andy Holding's speed figures aiui. Tbh I've had a click around and cannot tell what you do get for the money.

But as I said on the other thread, if someone is so heavily dependent on Oddschecker (or any site) they should just pay the small amount -- it is less than 50p a day on an annual subscription.

The block seems to kick in after around 15 clicks. I wouldn't call that heavy usage. A minor inconvenience to do as suggested in the first reply.

me!, I replied on the duplicate thread but if you are just looking for price changes on today's racing then you can find this for each race on the www.irishracing.com racecards.

...it shows the price history for every horse in every race from 17 bookies.

15 clicks,blocked.

But their logic to pay for it,is also the tips,analysis of the race,1 click.

Bookies pay to be on here to advertise their prices,so how does this work.plus I presume they get a fee if customers place a bet through their site with a bookie,so again,hindering this.

Maybe done the stats,and 99% of customers don’t click more than 15 times.

But even the announcement of a paywall might deter footfall.

Hope they’ve done their homework,

better believe they do.  although the number of "fee's" they are getting must be dwindling rapidly.

hence they've started to charge.  be all over soon.  they know that.

Hulk,
But the fees will be set at what they decide,then it’s up to bookies to pay it or not,they seem to pay it,as they’re all on their.
Placing a bet through them might be down,but hindering clicks and views surely weakens their fee charge.
