Betfair Developers Program:  New Software Vendor Solutions

We (along with many of our users) are very excited to have some workable mobile solutions now on the market. Lots of you have trialed Mobex, the bespoke mobile betting application built by Rapid Mobile Media Ltd.  Testing is now complete and this month marks Mobex’s official launch http://www.rapid-mobex.com. Also available is a mobile solution BetANYWHERE provided by Image Habitat Ltd http://www.betanywhere.co.uk. Further details of both these products can be found on their respective websites.  Both solutions come with a free trial period and provide Betfair users with the functionality to bet via mobile phones or other handheld devices.

For those with a more sophisticated trading approach another product set for launch is the Sports Trading Workstation (STW) from SportingLOT. http://www.stw-sportstrader.com. Amongst other features, STW offers one click trading, allows you to view multiple markets simultaneously and analyse pricing trends.  Potential users of STW can read product testers reviews in the STW Forum at http://www.stw-sportstrader.com. You'll also find a link to download a free copy of the latest version of the STW software.

A further launch is Chromaweb MT www.chromaweb.com/bets/tracker. This enables users to track Back, Lay and Last Traded prices on Betfair markets and calculates what the Back or Lay stake should be to equalise your profit whatever the outcome of an event.  It also has a graph detailing the latest 150 market moves..
