Betfairs New Layout....

[lotte]

Hate it. Well what I mean to say is I hate it when I can get the thing to bloody load without crashing. No idea what the hell they have done or why they have done it. Whatever it is they have done is just wrong.

Looks very similar to how it used to but with bolder colours? The most annoying thing about it is the fact it seems to minimize the left hand sidebar, could do without that really but not a major issue. In play view looks a bit more interesting maybe, has some extra info about the match so far from what I can see, although not as much as Totesport's inplay market or Bet365 etc.

Otherwise it looks like they've taken all the markets for a specific event and then 'grouped' them in different tabs (Popular, Team Markets, Goal Markets, etc), similar to William Hill. Downside of that I suppose is that you can't easily search for text within a page since the text you're searching for might be on a different tab from the default 'Popular' tab.

Looks like Tennis still has the 'old' view... probably same for other non-football sports.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the green up feature yet , if you stay in the horrible screen that you can't see what the liquidity is but have a bet on the market you get a yellow box with "lock in xx.xx " the figure keeps changing as the odds do obviously which is a nice addition imo

I think if you click not on the market but the title of the event, you will get the new layout which gives you an overview of several markets on said event.

It is this that I think everyone is referring to, there is no market depth. They're obviously trying to come up with some idea to make the exchange more "mainstream" but one of the best features of an exchange is that you can see the movement of money.

This is what happens when you have a huge plc and a group of geniuses who lock themselves in a room and start a "think tank".

They come up with stupid ideas.

Fu*in yuppies should be on YTS schemes.

Just seen .. that's rubbish.. tells you nowt!!

Yeah that's worth putting up with the gawdy colours if that's the case, nice.

Be careful with the lock-in - It said 'lock-in £1.48' or somesuch last night - which actually translates to 'lose 148.52'

Since the vast majority on my bets on BF are hedges, I'd like to be able to turn that off in case I hit it accidentally (although I assume there must be some sort of confirmation stage?).

My machines and connections (esp when on VPN) are way too slow for this new stuff. Completely unnecessary imo.

I assuming everyone's getting redirected to the new beta site unless they click on the 'classic' option at the top right. I actually rather like this one, it's cleaner, faster, and much more 'to the point'. The last version seemed to be too much more style over substance for my liking.

What I do not like is the fonts are getting smaller and smaller and my eyes are getting older and older...
Plus every time I select a market from bottom of the list (say O/U 1.5) it goes back up to the top and to select O/U 2.5 I have to scroll down again, then again to select O/U3.5 and so on which is quite tedious.

Also "My Markets" from the old site do not appear on the new site so need to be defined again.
