It is back but the rest of the day off for me - trust them as far as I can throw them at the moment and with such little racing on today time is better spent doing other things. Becareful if carrying on!

I hope it's not IPV6 related because then it could be the true Millenium Bug :shock:

i'd be interested in peoples opinions in whats stopping a mass exodus to Betdaq?

Their infrastructure is there is it not? Lower commission, surely the only reason is liquidity? But if everyone went there instead of BF, then surely the liquidity will equal that of Betfair....

Is it going to take one little brave piggy to go then everyone follows or what? Certainly they deserve a chance because BF recently have had 2 outages in the middle of big betting events and also I dont know if anyone plays poker here but their poker went down for about 4 days last weekend!!!

I think the new commision structure for API customers starting March the 1st will really get things rolling for them, the first interesting thing they have tried imo .

how do you get a mass exodus going? would appear to be the logical move.

how do you know betdaq would not have the same problems if they took the same volume of bets?

easy in principle but how do you create the momentum to move?

Fact is we need more people to bet with betdaq not just to trade

Did I miss something? I traded the last race at Lingers but not in any anger, I didn't see anything. Just did a quick trade then moved on.

Precisely, I think the main point I was trying to ellicit was that is it more of a 'how' than a 'why' people move to BDaq?

You missed a site wide crash lasted about 5mins and the forum is still down - be very careful

Maybe Betdaq should offer 0% commission for a weekend to get the punters in?
