Betdaq does have more use over matchbook as far as UK markets
Betdaq are used by a lot of big players/bookies to manage positions. They are a bit of a joke in terms of managing and growing a business, but they have somehow managed to attract bookies (primarily for horses). There are some strategies that work ok with BD but overall they are hard work to use. They have funded some API development to attract retail users.
Matchbook will never grow in Europe until they change their odds presentation.
Reminds me of JJ saying Yanks were too dumb to use exchanges.
USA Players for the most part are not onto exchanges
Stats don't lie Son
All failed and I am going back like 8 years
Americans are traditional point spread bettors by nature
Euro's are ML oriented
Two different cultures
funny i actually made my yesterday epl pick on matchbook - also 1 tick difference only, but lower cost.
both are only for players in major markets with bets 1000 usd or below... which satisfies most people just fine.
for those who do more, it's easy to reach higher discount at betfair anyway.
jj , got your answer yet,
tennis france was a bit more expansive
We will be keeping a close eye on Betdaq the next 6 months for monitoring purpose
I think this shop has been around for a while too
Everyone wants Betdaq to IMPROVE, everyone wants Betdaq to have more liquidity, everyone wants Betdaq to be like Betfair, Everyone wants Betdaq to give a shit.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of waiting for Betdaq to step up.
I'm on the Smarkets bandwagon now, and hope they give it a better go than Betdaq schmucks have.
How's the liquidity at Smarkets TommyGun? Similar to Betdaq?
smarkets is garbage..bubble gum software..will be bankrupt..just a gimmick type place with no volume
oddsfuture is small and very little to offer other than uk horses
I like Betdaq :cheers:
Ok volume can be really weak at times, but you can often pick a nice little gem of a lay price in the Horse Racing markets which are actually better then Betfair prices.
Volume in the soccer markets can be frustrating :banghead: but as KO get close you start to pick up decent market amounts coming through.
Payouts are fast & with a mega rich guy owning the exchange your funds are safe as well.
3% comm is also a plus point :grrr:
Yeah its weird when I look at betfair for NFL and all the money being traded is on the ML with Patriots at something absurd like 1.15. Then there is their fascination with betting a tie...which they have to even have on golf match bets let alone soccer 1x2 instead of going for the 50/50 bet AH. I cant see a reason to bet soccer on anything but AH...the juice is SO LOW.
JJ gold I don't know what your talking about, my time with Smarkets has been good so far. Liquidity is ok at this stage.
Few more added Hareeba, they have:
-soccer
-horse racing
-basketball
-rugby league
-afl
-baseball
-cricket
-forumla1
-golf
-rugby union

Theres no AFL, how late do they come on?
