interbet?

if interbet is an exchange which they advertise themselves to be a betting exchange why is their betting on local racing always closed antepost ?for example tomorows meeting at Kenilworth Thursdays meeting at the vaal Fridays meetings at Fairview and greyville..the fields are up on interbet but all markets are closed..surely they should be open so bookmakers who subscribe to interbet can offer prices and punters who have an interbet account can either take these prices or put in a bid for a better price?interbet make profits out of the commission on these bets so its a win win situation for all concerned ...yet another part of the industry where competition is sorely needed to wake them up and improve their product..betfair put up fields but they never ever close the market once it is up until the race is run

Never even open these days, seem to have lost focus and sport markets are never active .

They got a decent payout when Phumelela bought a chop of the business. Christmas comes every day for them ! Was a sinking ship before P bought in. I reckon they on the beach somewhere sipping champagne.

I think they need to focus on the basics again and maybe upgrade their site

maybe ripe for a full takeover ?

The moment "P" is involved in anything,it goes backwards!

Betfair service has apparently dropped badly since corporatized!

Corporatization seldom improves service to sustomers!

Betfair have done all they can to drive everyone to their Sportsbook rob, master plan I think

That will just lead to opportunity for new entrants into the pure exchange markets!

And yet we have LM bookmakers who have priced up tomorrow's meeting and wait for it. .

Thursdays Vaal meeting

and if you not entirely convinced

they also have Fridays meeting priced up in Fairview.

Which other bookmaker has priced up like this?

Why should I punt anywhere else now days?

so why does he not offer odds on Interbet ?

I haven't the slightest clue Bob. I am just happy i found a bookie that can price up earlier than the rest.

because they bet to between 150 to 160 percent and 99 percent of the time you will get a better price on the day of the race
