lets move to Betdaq

by **trader1978** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 2:08 am

Surely if everyone who trades agreed to move to betdaq it would prove such a massive loss for betfair it might make them pull their finger out to provide us with a site that is as stable as it should be. I understand sometimes things can go wrong but it feels like this is a problem that is occurring regularly with betfair. I've never known a site to go down much at all but betfair just seem to always have this problem. Whenever their site provides a service for betting and trading and more importantly in play, they should pull out all the stops to make sure it is as stable as can be and I don't believe they make much of an effort to do that. If they did it wouldn't be happening week in week out. They seem to be producing millions in profit every year and increasing, why can't they provide us with a stable service when its us who make them those millions. I think its time everyone took a stand against them. PROMOTE BETDAQ TO EVERYONE, LETS MOVE TO A PROVIDER THAT CARES FOR OUR BUSINESS. Promote it in all betting forums or any other way you can, lets get everyone traders and betters alike to use betdaq and then maybe we might get the service we deserve

I would love to move but can't - I tried when they introduced the PCharge - but the graphs are no good on Betdaq, you sit all day at the front of the queue and nobody takes your bet - I mainly operate on football with horses as my 2nd trading medium and the football markets are poor over there. Yesterday I had layed 3-1 to RMadrid at 12.5 with a view to a trade for £250. With the crash I had a look to see what money was at the daq to square it off - there was £7 at 12's & £158 at 11's - that was it. I've tried it - I put my money there but hardly anyone took my bets - so I made on average £1 a game instead of £50 over here. I've got bills to pay & mouths to feed so unfortunately can'ty switch. I tried it with the horses and also struggled. The only way it could work is if they take the bull by the horns, invest loads more in Betdaq's website, introduce an unbeatable commission offer to make punters switch in their numbers but to me they don't seem brave enough and are happy to plod along in the slow lane. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see it happen but I really can't see it.

I agree. They're amateurish. I emailed Betdaq's marketing director about that, as revamping the charts would be a relatively cheap way of gaining an advantage over Betfair, but he didn't reply.

I find that surprising, given how much money is matched on football matches.

Betdaq just cannot compete with the football markets. As a scalper, pre match, in play and at HT there is just no money to achieve the results can do with Betfair.

They know they have us by the gonads and hold the aces. Shame, i cant see that changing.

I tried it for first time, think i will withdraw the funds with the small profit i struggled to make due to lack of liquidity.

When Betfair started there was no liquidity and the markets were messy. So, did I give up and try and find something else? Nope, I worked hard to find a way to make it work. It's just a lack of imagination that stops people from doing things.

Betfair increase charges because they can. People don't leave so they will continue to charge more and more all the time that people sit there and take it up arse. FACT.

Hi
I'm sure more people would if they had the same facility for greening up stakes as Betfair.

That's harsh Peter

I need to earn regular money, we all do.

When it comes to sport markets, the liquidity on Betdaq is hopeless. I can't afford to sit and wait for everybody else to join me.
