Inplay - your monthly guide to all things Betfair

Season's greetings!

Welcome to our bumper holiday edition of InPlay – packed with more than enough reading to let you hide away from those crazy in-laws who have taken control of the remote!

Firstly, we’ve made our biggest changes to our betting interface since we launched. These extra features have been a long time coming, with vast amounts of research and development behind it. We love the Betfair SP, we think you will too, but we’re pretty sure the bookies won’t be so keen on it! The ability to now keep a bet to go in-play also means that no longer do you have to be chained to your computer to close out a green book. Something for everyone, so don’t forget to use your Refer and Earn code when spreading the word.

Paul Nicholls’ two leading chances for the Cheltenham Gold Cup will run just after Christmas in the Grade I Chases on either side of the Irish Sea. At the moment it looks like Kauto Star could be costing us another million pounds, but Denman! We’ve got previews of the King George VI and Lexus Chases.

For the poker buffs, we have something bigger and better this year – the 3 Kings Giveaway – with heaps of bonuses, events and freebies for everyone to enjoy. Blackjack players haven’t been left out – check out the exciting new Exchange Blackjack interface.

The noticeboard is packed full of new stuff so it’s worth a read – a football trading programme, new Aussie racing pages, super-fast Betfair Radio and a big schedule of Betfair Education events for early 2008.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!
