Some people have said in the past that Betdaq don't push it enough, but on the face of it new custom isn't the problem for Betdaq (any new customers who haven't heard of Betfair or Betdaq previously are unlikely to trouble the premium charge for sometime and so not an issue for them).<br /><br />It's the people who are aware of Betdaq and currently using Betfair that will make the difference long term.<br /><br />Betfair was the best thing to happen to to betting/trading when it came along as it put the bookies to the sword. Now unfortunately we need to turn the sword on Betfair, it's abused it's power because it can. A choice of exchanges on a similar level could offer the sort of competitiveness that would usher in a new golden era (not unlike when Betfair first came along) for trading.<br /><br />Maybe Betfair know it won't last forever so are milking what they can. A better approach might be to encourage customers to stay rather than leave in droves when Judgement Day arrives!Semi Professional Gamblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621540340888643165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-40050780558986951572010-03-22T11:36:51.666+00:002010-03-22T11:36:51.666+00:00Cassini still pretending he pays the premium charg...Cassini still pretending he pays the premium charge. LOL.<br /><br />Virtually his whole blog is based on football correct score betting yet he chooses to describe himself as a successful trader when he fancies pretending he pays the charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-81503567365369418572010-03-22T09:07:07.314+00:002010-03-22T09:07:07.314+00:00The affiliate bonuses are acceptable imo, it takes...The affiliate bonuses are acceptable imo, it takes time to put together a site (not much, but some)... if they can get some clicks, then fair play to them, it's not as if they are plastered everywhere.<br /><br />I'm not sure I agree with all the ideas on their site. Too little investment in technology doesn't stack up. The recent problems were more 'implementation' problems rather than lack of investment. I believe they have replaced every piece of hardware that our bets go through. BF should be miles ahead of BQ in technology terms.<br /><br />The people at the top know they have issues with communication. And they also know they have moved away from the original ethos, I think they do want to make sure they retain that. Whether they can or it's too far gone is another question / matter of opinion.<br /><br />Most of their problems stem from fast expansion. 1200 employees there now, as the number grows, the % with actual exchange/betting experience drops, the number of varying attitudes to business increases as does their own internal communication problems/prejudices.<br /><br />The betfair product is stil superior imo, but the idea of keeping a monopoly in check gets my support. The only way to do this is being organised.. When the monopoly ends, it'll probably be quicker than anyone expected.Matthttp://www.punt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-80648387962141830722010-03-22T08:54:50.827+00:002010-03-22T08:54:50.827+00:00LOL
