[AusRace] Something else to check

Just got a "Price changed" via DO, functionally similar to the TAB function that Greg mentions, and this begs the question of why I did not get it on the other bet.

Yes Greg, long, long ago, or so it feels, and as you say, still the same on the web-site. Why principals allow IT to make useless changes, the only purpose I can see for is to justify their pay, I cannot fathom a guess - look at the mess SB's new website was, and the "update" this month is still inferior in useful features to the time-honoured site, while Tatts has become so slow since redesigned by TAB that my original "apprentice" opened a Vic account. MR and I agreed on how functional the UBet site was, and now……

 

Via DO the TAB message is "Price Changed", same as BetZero, BetEasy, Sportsbetting, TopBetta, TopSport and maybe others (they are the ones I got the message from in the last 90 days and my memory ain't what it used to be) - don't have screen shots, but some tell you the new price, some don't, so you have to wait a few secs before the update reaches DO.

Interesting … 

 

When I setup the TAB SportsBet system (all those years ago) I put in a simple user option which says “Accept current selections at reduced price” preference. Best of both worlds. Simple to do and keep the customers happy. They still use the same phase I created almost 20 years later.

DO did not respond to my request for an explanation, so I sent the same email to Sportsbet and got this reply:

Unfortunately we are not directly affiliated with Dynamic odds, so our live odds on our website may vary to what they show. Clearly in this instance their odds were not up to date with our odds and as a result have caused the $00.50c discrepancy. In future to avoid this I would recommend to double check with the SB website to ensure you are receiving the true odds.

As odds change in a micro-second, the only way to avoid this is to bet directly with SB - if you check the price on SB's site, then bet via DO (which you might do to have a composite record of bets placed) the price may have changed.

 

Some other sites report "odds changed", but not SB, you just get whatever they give you, not what DO says they gave you.

 

As ever, caveat punter.
