Betfair to retire 'classic' web site in the summer

[Euler]

Got an email from Betfair confirming retirement of the 'old' web site.

This would be a problem for me as the new site doesn't display my P&L correctly a lot of the time and it's slow to get other data back.

Interested in the views of others. Betfair seem unaware of these problems despite the fact I have been telling them this for some time.

I agree Peter I never use the new site, think the old one is much better

I had the feeling they fixed the bug regarding displaying pnl?

I never use the new site, hate it

Indeed, there are still funny things happening with the new site. Everything's green for about 1.43, but hitting cash out would give me 2.95?

I think that's an inverted cash out, effectively returning it to the pre-cash out position. Bet Angel does something similar.

I think you could be right I was checking this morning and it looked like it had been fixed. Still checking.

I don't understand? Surely that would be a free lunch if it could happen while improving your pnl...

In this case I did have a couple of open bets (hence the liability > 0) But open bets shouldn't alter the outcome of the cash-out procedure.

As I understand it cash-out is similar to green-up everything, but maybe I'm wrong. Although tempted, I didn't hit the cash-out button here, because it would also cancel my open bets. And I was 100% sure this wouldn't improve my pnl

The web site is still showing the wrong P&L, not fixed. I doubt there is much effort underway to get it fixed before the switch.

I wonder how they can do this wrong, it's not like it involves cutting edge math or anything

[jamertroy]

Maybe it's just something that they have overlook. It will be easily corrected though based on my experience with them.

Same problem been in place for ages, well over a year. Nothing has been done about it.

DDay is almost upon us, shut down commences tomorrow.

Not looking forward to this at all, hate the new site, found the old site far more user friendly.

Do a lot of people on here still use the old site?
