Betdaq

... they've had so many chances to catch Betfair but are just too incompetent to take them

Fair comment. I was looking through their FAQs about 18 months back, and they still referred to Firefox 1.x and Netscape Navigator, although I see they've now updated the info there. I keep my Betdaq account funded as a backup, and for testing spreadsheets in a 'live' market at small stakes, but I rarely put more than a few £ through the market - aside from liquidity, the API is just too far behind Betfair - no historical time/price charts, and only basic race details. How hard would it be for them to include race length and type in the API? I do wonder sometimes how they are still in business.

Yeh agreed, whats really annoying is the API they use on the website (IAPI) is json and looks really good, if they opened that up I would use betdaq.

I was reasonable Betdaq user until they suddenly blocked Finland and tens of more countries. And they didnt give any explanation for that. They also gave only couple of weeks time to empty Betdaq account. Dying exchange.

When they started pulling out of a lot of eastern European countries I think that had a big effect on their football liquidity which they have never recovered
