UK cold snap hits racing bets, Oddschecker reveals 13/01/2010
BOOKMAKERS WITH MAJOR racing markets including Betfair, Coral and Ladbrokes have been hit hard by Britain’s cold snap, the December figures from top odds comparison site Oddschecker reveal,
with the weather having caused a wave of racing abandonments.
The data from the site, which boast more than 600,000 unique users a month, has been seen exclusively by EGRmagazine.com, and shows racing cancellations having diminished Betfair’s
strong lead in referrals from the site over Bet365 and having allowed SkyBet to overtake Coral.
The abandonments also saw Ladbrokes lose the ground it won on Oddschecker in November, when its
traditional strength in horseracing saw it overtake Stan James and arch rival William Hill.
Oddschecker commercial manager Simon Miller said: “The gap at the top has shrunk to its smallest ever level. Bet365 kept its market share static but Betfair saw its share slide by 1.2% and
now only stand 0.4% ahead of Bet365. Betfair always perform strongly in months full of racing but with abandonments around, especially on Boxing Day, this blunted Betfair’s strongest weapon
and saw it fall back.
“On the flip side, Skybet used this opportunity to jump above Coral for the first time since June. Relatively weak in racing without Best Odds Guaranteed, Skybet weren’t harmed as much
as the others and its strength in football saw its market share rally. As abandonments continue into January, it will be interesting to see which bookmakers have come out on top in testing
times.”
With the cold weather intensifying this month and with a new cold snap hitting Wales, south east and south west England only last night, the impact on racing-heavy bookmakers is likely to be even
greater in January.
Miller added: “Attracting racing customers in January has been more competitive than ever, but bookmakers who are competitive on markets such as specials, darts and golf could see their
market share on Oddschecker increase.”
December’s top 10 bookmakers on Oddschecker (share of referred traffic)
1) Betfair (13.3%)
2) Bet365 (12.9%)
3) William Hill (9.6%)
4) Ladbrokes (9.5%)
5) Stan James (8.8%)
6) Paddy Power (8.7%)
7) Sky Bet (5.6%)
8) Coral (5.3%)
9) Betfred (4.3%)
10) Sportingbet (4.2)

Live streaming
When you bet live you can usually watch what you are betting on when logged into your bookmaker account. While the quality of these is currently quite low and is lagging behind in technology compared to the odds systems, they are still very helpful as you don’t even need to leave your PC/Laptop to see how your bet is going.
In some events there are special feeds of better quality. One example of this was when England played Ukraine in the first ever Internet-only live football match. Bet365 bought a licence to show this on their site and many users managed to enjoy the match without having to pay the fee charged by other companies.
What can you bet on?
Live betting offers a great advantage for bettors. For example, instead of having to guess the form of your team or player on the day, you can wait until the match starts and judge whether you want to bet or not.
So what can you bet on live? The answer is pretty much anything. Different bookmakers offer different levels of service. Bet365 is currently the market leader and provides live betting on almost all events.
The most popular regular events are football, tennis and golf. This also picks up in less popular sports during big competitions. For example, the Ashes.

Baptism Of Fire For Coyle Premier League side Bolton have got their man and a new style of football beckons for The Trotters and ironically, the type of football Coyle will try to bring to the Reebok is that of his first opponents, Arsenal. The value bet of that game looks to be the goals with both teams no doubt intent on attacking. Other English Premier League football fixtures include Stoke vs Liverpool where Stoke are a good value betting opportunity to take the scalp of the woeful reds after their disaster in the FA Cup midweek and the loss of Torres, Gerrard and Benayoun to injury.

La Liga, as per usual, throws up some nice looking betting opportunities with both Racing santander and Real Zaragoza hot tips for home wins.

Selection: Racing santander vs Valladolid
Bet: Santander win (Asian Handicap -0.75)
Info: Racing Santander very high in confidence and in fabulous form with their new teenage star Sergio Canales on fire. Valladolid on the opposite end of the scale looking toothless just now and finding it hard to hit the back of the net.
Confidence: 70-75% Stake: 4pts Odds: 127/100 Book: Bet365
Selection: Real Zaragoza vs Xerez
Bet: Zaragoza win Asian Handicap(-0.75)
Info: Both teams in a poor run of form(the whole season in Xerez's case) but results have been deceptive in Zaragoza's case. With the fantastic signing of Suazo from Monterrey, they will be upbeat and if he takes part(and he is expected to), they could be in for a comfortable win.
Confidence: 70% Stake: 4pts Odds: 31-40 Book: Bet365
Selection: VFB vs Wolfsburg
Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Info: When Wolfsburg are in town, there are usually goals. Both sides here will be all out attack and with the firepower of Dzeko, Grafite, Pogrebniak and the likes, it could be a goalfest.
Confidence: 75% Stake: 4pts Odds: 7/10 Book: Bet365
Selection: Bolton vs Arsenal
Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Info: Coyle likes his teams to attack and that could be the self destruct button against Arsenal, especially on a small and tight pitch like the 1 at the reebok. Look out for Eduardo to strike, possibly more than once. Nasri should get plenty of shooting opportunity which he loves, Klasnic is on form and Davies has a good record vs the Gunners.
Confidence: 75% Stake: 4pts Odds: 4/5 Book: Betfair
Selection: Valencia vs Villarreal
Bet: over 2.5 goals
Info: Villarreal really dangerous on the counter attack, as are Valencia but with Valencia being the home side and having to come forward, their defense will be exposed. Look for the attacking foursome of Valencia though who are all back fit now to do some damage of their own. 4-4 anyone?
Confidence: 75% Stake: 4pts Odds: 4/5 Book: Betfair
