Hi Guys... Many thanks for all your interst and you have brought up an interesting fact already that we don't publicise the price until you have logged on as a user, you see it was worth posting
Will do my best to answer most...
Pricing was a very difficult one to consider and we thought long and hard over it. Many offer monthly subsciptions of £25 to £50 but we only charge by tournament (which I am sure others will now copy). Knowing people will return once they try it, we have projected it at £1 per tournament, whilst this is very cheap, we felt it more important to generate interest and to that end it seems to have worked.
Asking someone to put their hand in their pocket for £25 without knowing what they are going to get is asking a lot, whereas for the sake of £1 we were hoping people would give it a try - like it - and come back. We are looking for a long term relationship, not a short term sting.
People can desposit as little as a pound or as much as £250, we have seen all manner of payments TBH, some have jumped straight in whilst others have taken a more conservative initial route.
Yes I have laid bets for some years (and played off +3 before going Pro - for others that may ask what I know about Golf). Having used the system manually for a few years to great success, my brother then introduced me to the power of the database, thereafter it took on a whole new level of accuracy and scope. We do back on the markets and it is such which has generated the revenue to launch the website, don't forget I see the data before you do
so I have nothing whatsoever to lose by selling it.
I would never dis any competitor or make comparisons, AKA TT; we believe our offering is unique and has filled a massive void in the market place.
