Any chance we can have access to tradefair through BA?

[Nutter Punter]

I am not sure how many people may be interested but Tradefair is a new add on for Betfair financials. They use Binaries and I wonder if it may be possible to use BA to access it as the standard Betfair interface is shite and next to useless for trading.

Cheers

We will definitely be looking into it, but can't give any timescales at present.

[Nutter Punter]

Cheers for that. I hear Betfair will be introducing the binary concept into other sports as well but to be honest I prefer decimal odds.

I see from the forums that some winning accounts have been closed on Tradefair so it would appear that Betfair are operating like a normal bookmaker and taking the liability themselves.

[Nutter Punter]

Betfair have gone too far on this one allowing Capital Spreads to pick and choose what trades they want.

[Nutter Punter]

Any news on possible timescales?

Betfair appear to be looking at replacing financials with Tradefair which for a number of us means that Betting assistant becomes useless.

[GaryRussell]

Sorry, cannot give a timescale for this at present. To be perfectly honest I cannot see this being developed within the next six months and possibly longer.

[Nutter Punter]

If Betfair do push this out into the sports, which is the current rumour, there will only be one piece of software that is able to cope.

Looks good (and the graphs! - will no doubt have some comments on them later)

On tradefair there's a problem when using the ladder interface and moving between markets in the market tree - the market name displayed next to the ladder is the last market you clicked on, not the current one. This problem doesn't occur on the standard interface, and if you switch to standard and back to ladder, then the ladder displays the correct market name.

(But the biggest problem seems to be nobody using tradefair - I can't find a market with more than £40 matched, and anything resembling a workable spread...)

When I try to install th enew version 9 from the link on the New Release page I get a message dring installation the "The cabinet file xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx required for this instalation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a Network error or CD-ROM or a problem with the package.

Help

[GaryRussell]

It's not corrupt so try downloading it again. Try saving to your desktop and open it from there.

Hi

I thought of that and I also restarted my machine but still that same message. I am going to try installing on another machine and I will report back

Cheers

Sorted

It worked on the other machine so I returned to my main one ( XP running in VirtualBox on a OpenSuse 10.3 machine ) I realised that the msi file was only around 450K in size and so even though I had subsequently re downloaded it to save to the deskop it must have saved a cached copy.

I deleted the desktop fle and re downloaded again and installed and everythng s now fine

Thanks
