Then that's even better.

Looks ok but has limited features in comparison to Betting Assistant & is overpriced imho.

That said, the simple & easy to use interface would suit those who currently place bets via the Betfair site.

I don't think is over priced, looks good but with no excel integration.

I would try it first or even go for 1 month and if you liked it then go the 12 month sub, that's the best value.

I think they would get more subscribers if they let people try that lastminute program.

[norisk]

At nearly twice the cost of BA with less features (unless I have missed something) it looks overpriced to me

[Shaun]

On a monthly basis yes is twice the cost but is the same for a yearly sub.

Interface looks nice and clean but why divide the three main functions into three seperate programs??? Nice to look at but not that useful as they stand.

I watched their promo video and the first thing they tell you re betting is that they allow you to place bets below the minimum, which is fine.

Yet every time BF have closed one of my accounts (or threatened to) for doing just this and I say "but I'm using one of your approved products that advertise just this" they (BF) without exception always say "we are cracking down on them and telling them not to allow one click betting below the minimum". And yet here's another one.

Don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at the products, it's BF that can't make up their minds over this. Does nothing for their reputation.

That's exactly my point to them, Mark. They have something like 120 products on their OWN web site that advertise that you can bet below the minimum.

HYPOCRITES!!!

Betfair's response is "we are aware that some users use api products to circumvent the below minimum".
The problem is their api accepts these bets, users are not circumventing anything. It's built into their api platform.
Instead of mass waring users, they should simply change the api code to reject below minimum.
But they won't, as too many users need to bet below minimum to green up, lay the field, dutch bet the field etc etc.

Also, don't be fooled with the speed of bet placement. Placing bets from Australia is noticably slower than the UK. I'm doing almost everything remotely from Ireland now and this was the first thing I noticed.

Hi - I'm Mert (the guy with the droning English voice on the JetBet video) and I thought I'd say hello.

Thanks for your comments on the software - I'm really interested in this less than Betfair minimum stake issue as it hasn't come up very much at all from what we've seen. One of my colleagues has been in the industry for over 10 years and has only heard of one or two instances, and that was pretty blatant - the guy had about 1,000 bets each at a penny. Even then Betfair didn't close his account, just slapped his wrist...... so is it more stringently enforced down your way or was it the UK dishing out the warnings? I know you've got your own servers (in Hobart is it?) but don't know if they are policed separately.

And if there are any questions on our stuff just give me a shout.

Cheers

I believe it is the Aussie accounts.

Welcome Mert, good to have you here.
I received a warning for betting under the minimum about 2 years ago. The problem may have been the cancelling of the original bet I think, as that is what a lot of posters were saying.

IE:
Place Lay bet for $5 @ $1.01.
Up that stake to $6.
Betfair then shows 2 bets, 1 for $5 and 1 for $1.
Then adjust the $1 bet up to what price you would like.
Then cancel the $5 bet.
Presto, on for under the minimum.

[Shaun]

I know that all software that place bets below minimum do a similar trick but only shows 1 bet made.

I have only been using betfair for a few years and use a different product and have never had this issue but my bets have been mixed some over some under but a lot were under when i first started.

[norisk]

I have made a huge number of bets under the limit over the years testing & what not, but at the same time have made equally as many over, so I think this is probably the trick isnt it - if you continually bet under the limits with very few or none over you will get flagged?

[jose]

At that stage I was having most of my bets under with probably 10-20% of them over, perhaps that was the problem.
I should have kept the emails.

We have a really good working relationship with the Betfair development team so I'll raise this next time I see them.

Because some of our stuff is system based, I personally encourage small bets whilst testing out various strategies before committing larger stakes. We've just done something for a guy in the UK and I know for a fact he's been using 10p per stake, at least 10 times a day for a month without trouble (yet!) because he wants to try a load of different settings and that to me seems a pretty sensible way of doing things.

I'll let you know how I get on with them......
