Laoded 30 day trial.....

[wizardofmann]

.... three days ago and have a few questions I would appreciate feed-back on.

My set-up at the moment is as follows: I have three screens running. Screen one has Betting assistant running. Screen two the Betfair exchange (Horse racing card) page. Screen three Oddschecker/Sporting Life.

I am noticing that, especially early on there seems to be differences between the odds shown on BA and BF. At the moment I have up the 14.10 @ Carlise and the odds on both the back and lay side do not match up! Right now Kenny The Captain on BA reads 15/32 while BF reads 13/50 (Even after refreshing BF page it remains the same) Any ideas why? Also, BA matched total reads £1518.16p while BF reads 1518.00p.

On BF site I have confirm bets activated but it has not migrated over to BA (Even though I set up verify bets by default ticked) and the first bet I put on went live (To my shock and horror!) but thankfully my lay lost. Phew!! Therefore at the moment I activate my bets using the BF page bet-slip and use the BA page to decide when to place the bet (Obviously because of the speed advantage)

Now, just to see what reaction I get; one of my systems is to only lay without backing the same horse. I went live with this system just over three months ago and I have a seventy-three percent sucess rate. Yep, I can see a lot of raised eyebrows but in the three days since using BA my sucess rate has gone up by two percent. I would be most interested to hear your comments and to see if there are other people who use a similar system (Very few I would hazard at a guess)

And please note, cross-matching is only good for one thing - making more money for Betfair.

making more money for Betfair.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. They seem to find every bit of way to make it a win win situation for them.

@doris-day

In your opinion would it be better turning "cross-matching" off?

Probably, a dumb question!
