IM GOING TO BETDAQ FULLTIME , FUCK THESE TOSSERS

[LeTiss]

How strong is BA's relationship with Betdaq?

The reason I ask, is because the facilities available to us on the API are not as powerful, which is a key reason for me continuing to trade on Betfair

Is this due to Betdaq's website being too basic to interact fully with BA, or is it simply a case of not allowing us?

What sort of things are you thinking of?

[LeTiss]

What sort of things are you thinking of?

Perhaps I have an old version

On Betdaq, Guardian is very basic and there's no facility for using Excel

[rhysmr2]

"premium charge for substandard service" should be there new motto

Anyway, still can't access their site but the API seems to be working fine. I guess it's a case of trade and hope the API keeps up!

I am thinking to close my account with betfair, Is there anyone out there using betqad and how good it is?
IS BA GOING to do something about this BF several crashings? BF is not responding our e-mails for days now....all advices on this matter are welcome..thank you

It seems to me that we will all continue to use Betfair for a very long time yet - I made a suggestion about trying to make an effort to move to Betdaq and I think it got about 3 replies from over 300 views (not all unique).

I think that basically sums up the situation - people love to moan but not do anything about it. We only have ourselves to blame, not Betfair!

IS BA GOING to do something about this BF several crashings?

What could Betangel do about it?

[enzabella2009]

raise thier voice in our behalf perhaps ? I know they only sell a software but some users may cancell they subscription to BA if BF will keep crashing, i think. I dont have news from betfair since january 23rd. as i said all the advices are welcome.

Perhaps you are overlooking that we have both Betdaq and Betfair versions of the software. So while taking money from us may hurt us, it would only be the act of taking your money from Betfair that would hurt them.

We don't get the feeling that we can influence Betfair much. We have some very big traders on our books but Betfair don't seem to view the threat of them moving as much of a threat. I think Andy summed it up quite nicely.
