Hi,
what is the reasoning behind using term soccer in Bet Angel instead of football as on Betfair site. It is always taking away couple of seconds when switching between them.

It's a legacy thing. A lot of Betfair and Bet Angel customers are outside of the UK so it was always called Soccer. Betfair changed theirs back to football from soccer, but we haven't done so as yet.

Maybe you could change your voice on these "soccer" markets, Peter?

How about: "Hey dude, this market is, like, soooo totally suspended."

So could you change it back to football? I suppose even your long time customers will not disagree let alone new ones. As with everything it's all about details.
