How Is Betdaq In Business?

**jjgold** · 07-19-11, 06:50 PM

Ruify I do not play there
Although working for Walker I do monitor all Euro books

Betdaq is advertising more

**underthe total** · 07-19-11, 10:12 PM

jj you lean with betdaq?

**jjgold** · 07-19-11, 10:16 PM

Betfair over betdaq

Betdaw based on all my reports has some value for punters though

**underthe total** · 07-19-11, 10:19 PM

betfair has more volume for what i do
matchbook ok too

**Foosball Champ** · 07-20-11, 12:35 AM

I would bet there if I were allowed to.

**jjgold** · 07-20-11, 05:17 AM

So I guess for UK horses it is ok
Soccer ok
tennis weak

**Chopsticks** · 07-20-11, 05:24 AM

They sell services and licences to places like offsidebet, 2x2bet, betchronicle and lots of books so you should not only look at the liquidity.

**LGBoots** · 07-20-11, 05:35 AM

I often pick up a better lay price on the Horses at Betdaq

**goty0405** · 07-20-11, 05:42 AM

Betdaq really does feel like someone tried to copy Betfair and only got half-way through.

Being a programmer I love automating as much of my work as possible and Betfair's API is awesome for that. Betdaq's was terrible last time I looked.

that is a play i like to make , i think i will give them a try for that reason alone

**brettels** · 07-20-11, 05:58 AM

since the exchange comparisons are happening, anyone use WBX and how would you rate them compared to betfair and betdaq

**jjgold** · 07-20-11, 06:22 AM

Likes like WBX is dead Nice layout and everything, I do not see many markets with any volume at all

**lukahh** · 07-20-11, 07:23 AM

Betdaq is useful when they give reduced commission;
the odds on major markets are within one pip sell/buy - exactly same as betfair, so for major markets it is definitely useful - as smart people on this thread already noted.

**Scottish** · 07-20-11, 07:29 AM

Liquidity is awful, which is why i never use it.

**wtf** · 07-20-11, 07:30 AM

wait till u try to collect from these criminals, the excuses start flowing

slow pay city

many shills in this thread

**jjgold** · 07-20-11, 07:56 AM

WTF betdaq is a slow pay book>

**trytrytry** · 07-20-11, 09:31 AM

for USA guys and not tricks what exchanges even partially bad ones can we sign up for and fund.

betmaker

...

others?

**jjgold** · 07-20-11, 10:34 AM

No other
Betmaker is ok for small wagers

**gliblet** · 07-20-11, 02:12 PM

One thing to keep in mind is that they count the volume matched in different ways. AFAIK, the way Betdaq counts it overestimates their volume compared to Betfair. But for the average user the Betdaq website is much better, quicker, less glitchy. And they will always give you 2.5% even when they weren't running their promotion.

**jjgold** · 07-20-11, 02:35 PM

I think so many people look at betdaq and say why bother if I have Betfair
The racing markets are competitive but soccer and tennis are way down prices are not bad but volume is just not that great
Software is better compared to Betfair

**chance** · 07-20-11, 04:38 PM

In this day and age you every out available.

**schlichting** · 07-20-11, 05:55 PM

hey guys, in soccer betdaq has a good volume and odds.

**gliblet** · 07-21-11, 02:51 PM

Not forgetting only 2% on Asian Handicap and I think on in-running horse bets too.

**pouroupoupou** · 07-21-11, 03:25 PM

No Brazilian soccer...

**tommygun** · 07-22-11, 04:55 PM

Today the Irish soccer was very slow moving and large gaps between bet and lay.

**Hybris** · 10-28-11, 07:15 PM

Ok liquidity on the Cricket, thats all that matters. And the tennis is getting better and better.

**jjgold** · 10-28-11, 07:17 PM

its bad

uk horses ok
uk soccer not really good
tennis ok but no where near betfair

**FourLengthsClear** · 10-28-11, 07:59 PM

Not impressive

How is uk horse volume?

Horse racing (at least UK racing) is dominated by automated bots and liquidity is not disimilar to that on Betfair.

Betdaq is very poor for US Sports.

That is true and, unfortunately, probably won't change anytime soon.
With that said, Betfair are acting more and more like they have a monopoly and it won't take much more for a number of of the biggest market makers to take their activities elsewhere.

No they haven't.
Maybe on big Premier League games (match odds) but that's it.
(And horses, but I don't bet on horses).
Asian handicaps and O/U is piss poor.

I'm on 2.5% but I hardly ever use Betdaq lately because of the poor liquidity.
Quite often I offer something on Betdaq, only to run to betfair before kick off because nobody buys.

**jjgold** · 10-29-11, 07:13 PM

The 3rd party programs are pumping in tons of volume at betfair but they also get the regular bettors

BetDaq is not really growing..some 3rd party auto betting software that pumps up some horse volume

Not really sure what you're on about, but as long as they're buying I'm happy so Betfair it is for me for the time being.

Unfortunately...

**lottethedog** · 10-30-11, 12:17 AM

jj you woring for glenn - if so can you ask for my camera back.

betdaq is great for bets you can wait to be matched and thats a fact,

dermpt desmond is wealthy (own plenty of group one horses and once celtic fc), if someone didnt get paid they did something wrong.

way better service than betfair - betfair is an entertainment portal, betdaq for what its worth has stuck to an exhange

lotte

**wtf** · 10-30-11, 01:50 AM

^^^

shill

**King_Suckerman** · 10-30-11, 04:57 AM

betdaq is OK - low commission but only useful on big soccer matches and horses really, never had any problems getting money from them.

Can i mention smarkets without being called a shill? 1% commission for a lot of people, odds generally same as betfair.
