The vast majority of the code base has changed since the two peices of software were originally in sync. You can see from the threads on the software that there are big differences between the two. There are three years worth of code changes to look at and some of the Betfair stuff just doesn't fit onto Betdaq, its a square peg in a round hole thing. It's a big job and one that has to be paid for somehow. I'ts not just a case of changing a couple of data feeds.
We were the first vendor to release Betdaq software at quite big risk at that time and off our own back. So please give us credit for doing that. We are conscious that if we are going to do something, we need to do it properly not just bodge something up.
As you are aware, we have software that is free and fully compatible with Betdaq already which people can use immediately. This has been been authorised and tested by Betdaq. It's not as though people have nothing to use at the moment while we look at an updated version.
You will be interested to know that despite all the fuss around the PC and the fact we have free software available already for Betdaq, we have seen very little increase in Betdaq registrations, but Betfair registrations are as strong as ever.
