Bet365 launch new football live betting app
Mar 9th
Bet365 have launched a great new version of their bet in play application. It’s simpler but more powerful with some nice features if you have a large monitor and want a widescreen betting layout. If you want to do some live football betting and watch a video stream then you can change the layout of the app to put the video next to the markets.
The smart guys at bet365 have also added favourites. You can star your favourite events so that they appear on top of the list. There’s also a nice audio streaming player for your live commentaries and off course, the live scores and stats up top.
As always, check them out for yourself. They are the best.
Betfair launch new in-play live betting app
Feb 28th
Betfair have finally upgraded their live betting interface with a new section on the web site called “in-Play”. It gets it’s own dedicated tab.
The live betting pages offer a simpler interface with integrated video and live scores. Markets are grouped (which we like) and generally it’s far less cluttered than the full exchange view. It’s especially good for football live betting.

What is the best sportsbook for live betting?
Feb 6th
At the end of May 2009 I created a survey that you can see on the right-hand column of this page. It was a simple question – which online sportsbook offers the best live betting website. After months of voting by people like you – punters and sports fans – the results are clear. One site stands out from the rest but will they hold that lead through 2010? We’ll see. Read on for more details and cast your own vote in the live poll on the right of the page.
It’s a simple question – which online sportsbook offers the best live betting website. After 8 months the results are plainly obvious and the winner is Bet365 by a long shot. Taking 30% of the vote in a crowded and competitive market is no mean feat.
So what is it about Bet365 that allow them this lead? Why do you like them so much? From chatting to punters, reading comments and from working in the industry and speaking to companies who work with them, the answer as far as I can see is three-fold:
- They do the simple things really well. They have a great range of events to bet on. The site is easy to use and live betting is placed centre stage and has been for some years.
- They think for themselves. Bet365 know what they want and act on it. They don't follow. When the rights to live streaming video were offered to bookmakers 365 were one of the first to offer it to customers. They got maximum value from the deal - punters loved it. There seems to be a simple simple strategy, well executed. Give the customers what they want and keep doing it.
- They move quickly and decisively. Being the 1st to offer live streaming video has more of an impact on the bottom line than being the 10th.
What does this mean? It means you'll get a great experience on www.bet365.com. There's always some sport to watch and you'll get the latest scores for the games that do not have video. You'll be spoilt for choice and looked after well by one of Britain's largest private companies. It's that simple. Except it's not. And that's why their competitors are sometimes struggling to keep up. If you haven't used them, go and take a look...
