my 2cents. i do like betfair but i dont care what league a game is in,if i think its a bet then i want to get on and would like a broader spectrum of bookmaker/exchange prices to compare for best price.
if odds wizard price<average of xno.of bookmakers then color cell green.

did a small sample of all leagues "bwin green" bets and compared @ betbrain the stake wizards top 15 matches at the time i looked where priced up best by

2xBetfair
1xExpekt
2x188bet
1xUnibet
3xBetsson
1xSportingbet
1xPaddyPower
1xMybet
1xBlueSq
1xLadbrokes
1xBwin

to me it says to get the best prices the odds compilers have put up and catch the mistakes they do make more accounts might be needed.
also betfair like all exchanges has a lot of very smart money in its markets and a lot less mistakes than when it first opened.

I bet with a maximum of three bookmakers, why chase the bet to the last decimal?
It is not unusual for me to have a low R95, my latest with 1 bookmaker is 12.87
Sorry, but it makes no sense to me.

I agree with erdo. When it was first mentioned that bookies odds were coming, I thought it was going to be an average of a selected few. And then when OW suggested the odds were wrong, then I'd have a look at the match in more detail. Which is generally how I do it now on paper.
I didn't, and still don't, want to see page after page of different odds from different bookies. IMO, it will clog up the GUI and detract from the real reason to use OW.

Can someone share how they have use this new odd wizard different from the old?

For me i see the green box and see whether the percentage how high then also must see the odds la.. If 6plus, then useless.. Hard to win.. Look out for those 2 and below.. Better chance..

Ive just downloaded the new version but I have none of this colour shading that is mentioned above.

Also pressing F2 just says :- 'No bWin odds available for these games' on all leagues.

**Theuth** · Newbie

Same here. Downloaded a new version yesterday (build 229) and there are no green squares anymore.

Pressing F2 does nothing, as does going through the menu to bWin Fixed Odds. The display used to change to show the line odds but not anymore.

im not impressed.........i'd added all the lower english leagues over the past 18 months or so and after downloading new version, now find when trying to access the EnglandNL (my name for it), that it seems to have been over written by Finnish ice hockey.

i assume by this, you pressed Yes when it asked you if you wanted to delete all .lea files during the uninstall. I learned the hard way about this also. It deleted my custom made Internationals file. Luckily for me, there's now one included.

Before doing anything else, check the recycle bin. Not sure how OW deletes the files but they might be in there. If not try a file recovery program. No file is ever really deleted (unless you shred it), the file space on the disk is just reallocated and made available to be overwritten. A file recovery program might be able to find and restore your .lea file before the sector on the disk that file occupies is reused.

nope its not that as my rugby/afl/other soccer league etc. files are still accesible.

Basically, EnglandNL is still accessible but it has been over written by Finland Ice Hockey.
