| Hi We are proud to anounce the latest version of Oddstrader, the Multi-Exchange trading platform is now available FREE at www.oddstrader.com. Oddstrader was conceived to fill the growing demand for a trading platform to perform both simple and complex bets within this arena. Oddstrader is easy to use and flexible enough to suit all levels of punters alike.When all the elements of “Oddstrader” are combined it becomes an invaluable aid, designed to increase both the pleasure and profitability of your day to day betting. Currently within Oddstrader we feature the two main betting exchanges, Betfair and Betdaq. There will be further exchanges added shortly. We would also very much like to include Bookmakers in our portfolio. We feel we are the perfect partner to any ambitious Bookmaker who is confident enough to stand next to the Exchanges and enjoy the exposure to new customers that would bring. Oddstrader itself is best described as an all round tool for use in everyday betting. It can be divided up into the following sections. 1. Front end customer interface. 2. Settings. 3. Trading. 4. Back office. 5. Analysis. 6. Customer support. I will review them individually. The front end interface has been designed with the ability to customise the look of the application as a user sees fit. It is quick and easy to rearrange windows and panels to suit the individual bettor’s needs. Any amount of markets can be opened and arranged in the order desired. This allows for easy viewing of corresponding markets either, inter-exchange or inter-market as well as the ability to line up events that are running close together. For example, the horse racing markets. The Settings on Oddstrader enable you to set up, “profiles”, both for individual markets entered and a global profile to cover all markets. A user may like to bet or trade differently depending on the sport or whether or not the event is “in-running”. Each profile will take advantage of the trading tools available and can automatically switch from an ante-post to an in-running profile if desired. Betting with Oddstrader could not be easier. Users have access to all the tools needed to trade successfully. These include: 1. A turbo refresh rate for markets with fast changing odds such as horse racing. 2. Ability to set variable or fixed stakes. 3. A kill or fill function enabling you to cancelled unmatched bets after a set period of time. 4. Back and lay function. 5. Offset. The ability to set the offset as either an odd or % value between the back and lay side. 6. Back and lay function with an in built stake redistribution to equalise profit. 7. Reverse back or lay. Allows you to back at the lay odd and vice versa. 8. Ability to have preset back / lay odds. 9. Stop loss. Gives the user the ability to automatically get out of a position if it becomes unfavourable. 10. Incremental back and lay. Will place the first part of the trade, then as portions of the bet get matched, Oddstrader will place an opposing bet at odds specified, for the same amount. A great in-running tool. 11. One click betting. Ideal for the fast release of trades. 12. Trigger betting. This brings a whole new dimension to the betting world. The variables are endless. We have placed a selection of the popular triggers used within the programme. These include: a. Back/lay an individual selection. An example would be setting the trigger to back team A at 3.6 for €10.Oddstrader would continually scan the selected market and if the 3.6 became available, would place the bet for you. b. Back/lay the whole field. Similar to an individual trigger except it places bets on the entire field at preset odds. c. Back all. This setting will scan for “under rounds” associated with each market and when one is found, back all of the selections to lock in a profit. d. Lay at the off. This is designed for in running events and will place lay bets across the entire field to capture any arbitrage opportunities. Laying all horses at 1.8 for example and hoping 2 or more horses get matched during the race. e. Inbuilt blank sheets allowing you to design and test your own trigger betting systems . A truly invaluable tool. Back office As all punters know, keeping a record of all your bets is an important part of making profit. Knowing which markets one does well in and, just as important, which ones are not so successful can make the difference between long term profit and loss. Oddstrader has the ability to record all your trades directly into an excel spreadsheet. This leads nicely on to Odds trader’s analysis capabilities. Along with the ability to automatically record and analyze your betting habits, Oddstrader can record market price data into excel, for use in spotting patterns in price movements. When combined with the “traditional form book” this becomes a very powerful trading tool. Customer support We have dedicated staff waiting to respond to any queries or advice that may be needed. Contact support@oddstrader.com. A forum has also been set up www.oddstrader.com/forum to further interact with our customers as well as to post new release information and circulate new trading strategies. |

| Hi teamsports It makes no difference to my question to benney50. Oddstrader may or may not be a great trading platform and possibly deserving of promoting to others for their benefit. Blatant and over the top spam is not in anyones interest but advertising something that is of benefit to punters can be useful. My concern is that something that is advertised as free should be entirely free ad infinitum. If it is only free on a trial basis or is currently free to use with future charging in mind then this should be disclosed imo and the full costs advertised as well. . |

| Hi I apologise for my lack of clarity regarding the cost of an Oddstrader subscription. To clear this up, Oddstrader has a thirty day free trial period, thereafter users will be asked to pay a subscription fee. Regards Quote:

| Shame. Perhaps you can download it at home. Once you have got familiar with the software, I am sure you will find it value for money. Regards Patrick Bennett GGT Ltd Quote:

| did you had the time to try the software ? what do you hink about it ? with wich software is possible to back more down than the odds (or to lay more up) ? exemple: if i want to back at 1.96 but the odds is at 2 and of course you dont want to back it at 2 but only if the odds go down at 1.96.

| From : www.bookmakersreview.com Elsewhere, Global Gaming Technologies announced that Chief Executive Paul Pullinger and Non-executive director Chris Cleverly sold a 26 per cent stake of GGT to Corvus Capital, a Geneva-based investment company. Earlier in February, a couple of days after GGT officially launched OddsTrader, a betting platform that allowed punters to compare betting prices on Betfair and Betdaq, and bet on the best price with one click, Betfair suspended the service claiming a breach of the API Software Vendor License. GGT developed then a new OddsTrader product using HTML parsing technology and signed a contract for distribution on the FansFC.com portal. But on June 28, Betfair requested GGT to return to the Betfair API for placing bets on their service. Betfair's API terms and conditions state that nobody can "use the Betfair API to develop and make available to any third party products or services which are designed to enhance the appeal of any betting exchanges offered by anyone other than Betfair". In order to comply with these terms, GGT disabled Betdaq access through OddsTrader and released a new Betfair-only version. So much for becoming a one-stop shop for exchanges' punters. I hope never to have to deal, with these luminaries of the betting world, ever again. GGT have shelved oddstrader - and sacked all the staff. |
