Betfair have been running two sites simultaneously for what feels like about two years, known only as the "new site" and the "old site". Which site do you prefer to use?

The fact that they've not discontinued their old site goes some way to show that the new one has not proven to be quite as successful as they might've liked.

I personally use their old site. I didn't see any benefits to their new release, and if anything, their betting slip just served to confuse me with its colours and layout. Also, it doesn't seem to be possible to simultaneously display both the SP information and all three levels of pricing.

Hah, just been looking at the new site, and noticed that you are required to have your screen resolution wider than 1024 pixels for the extra pricing level to display. A bit annoying (for me), as I run 2 1024-pixel-wide windows side-by-side on 2048-pixel-wide monitors. Still a reason for me not to switch.

Thought I would re-raise this as the old site now appears to be falling apart a bit. Tough to get the market tree to refresh, various other things. But I still prefer the old site.

My preference has been enhanced recently on the basis that the new site often gives the wrong P&L. Don't know if anybody else has noticed.
