My first impression is that it is telling you nothing new, it's just the three main totes, you see exactly the same on Sky channel. Sure they are trying to push you towards their product by saying the advantage over the totes is a certain factor, but everyone knows the commissions are far less than what the totes take out.

I guess the fact they have all the data on the one screen saves watching Sky and having Betfair open on your computer, and I guess you can switch and have a bet without opening a second browser instance. The radio is a nice in-built touch also.

When you think you are going to get an advantage you will be mistaken, there is no real advantage, they are not disclosing anything that the rest of the world does not already have. Is putting it all on one screen and advantage at the end of the day?

A real advantage would be when they disclose non-publicly accessible data that can be used in the evaluation process, afterall we want to pick winners, not see tons of price fluctuations.

Seeing it is a beta at this stage, they may enhance it with subsequent rebuilds, hopefully they will stop treating us like dummies and show us the TAB's price and let us think they have done us a favor.
