I’m repeating this post as we head towards the 1000 vote mark, well done everybody so far! Plenty more to go!<\/p>\n

I logged onto Betfair the other morning and saw a graphic saying ‘Have your say’<\/a>. I clicked on it and it linked to an area I hadn’t seen before asking opinions on various aspects of Betfair.<\/p>\n

One enterprising soul had put forward the suggestion: –<\/p>\n

“Make the exchange the homepage and not the sportsbook”<\/a><\/p>\n

I think that’s a perfectly fine suggestion, so I added my three votes to that idea and encourage others to do the same. I have embedded the links but here is a short URL for you to click as well –\u00a0https:\/\/t.co\/WQhpTCYL7a<\/p>\n

So what difference does this make? Well at least if we let Betfair know we have a voice they may understand how things look from the customer side of the business. I get the distinct feeling they are keen on implementing what they like, rather than what customers want, so this gives you a voice.<\/p>\n

Currently when a new visitor to Betfair arrives them they are not presented with anything to do with the exchange, they have to work hard to find it. I would imagine virtually no new customers to the site even know the exchanges exists. That’s bad news for the exchange side of the business.<\/p>\n

So vote now and let Betfair know that you think that the part of their business that produces the vast majority of their revenues, that nearly off of us use and a lot of us are reliant on, should actually get a mention on the home page. Sort of makes sense doesn’t it? Either that or you can let completely and utter apathy take hold and do nothing to try and make a difference and suffer as a result. The choice is yours!<\/p>\n

I am going to keep on harassing everybody until such time as the support for this becomes very obvious. Please feel free to pass this on and re-post so that more people can show their support.<\/p>\n
