Is it possible to view the race as it is happening? In the desktop Icon I found video view and tried to watch a race. I have Windows 10 so I split the screen and put Bet Angel in one half and the video in the other. Sadly, I could not see any live footage. I did trad 2 x £10 in case there was a minimum requirement. Is it possible to do it by this method or do I need two screens. Thanks for any help.

Your best using the direct BF link
https://livevideo.betfair.com/

You need to place a min £2 bet to see a race you can undock the video player and use a free program called Deskpins as shown in this thread

You don't need Win10 or 2 monitors to watch several things. Just shrink each window and view multiple applications.

You can run multiple screens, I have 3 but some others have many more.

it used to be a "place min £2', then they required it to be matched - not just placed. And now it is "a minimum matched bet of £5".

Ah yes when i put 'place' I did mean for it to be matched as well but was'nt aware they had put it upto a min £5 so thanks for that Gutuami. Roughly when did they do that can you remember?

GB, Ireland, UAE, Latin America, Australia and Singapore (Horse Racing) and BAGS and RPGTV meetings (Greyhounds) - £5 matched
US & RSA racing - min £2 in your account
Everything else - No restrictions other than an open funded account.

Has anyone found a clever way to get the Live Feed picture bigger? Apart from having a dedicated monitor running at a crazy res like 320 x 240.

Have you tried <CTRL> +, Shaun (or via the View/Zoom menu on your browser). It zooms in on normal websites, but I've not tried it on the BF video.

It does work with the BF video, Using mozilla i run it on a seperate screen at 170%, thats gives me practically full screen with just a little bit of the menu showing to switch to next market
