App or opt that allow simu placing of bets on e 2 exchanges

[zorro99]

I know should have been posted in the suggestion forum, but since this is an idea in respond to the increasing PC charges I thought it might have more discussion here. Basically the idea is to have a betting app (or added to BA as an option) that will allow users to place/cancel bets simultaneously on the 2 exchanges with a single click on the same market offered by both exchanges.


MAIN REASONING/BENEFITS

- To increase liquidity in betdaq (especially in-running). This allows people betting in-running to add liquidity to betdaq (and hopefully attracting more liquidity in the future) yet not missing out on the current liquidity in current betfair markets

- To allow users to get the best odds in both exchanges



There will need to be changes to the interface of course, either have separate market views for the 2 exchanges with the ability to place/cancel bets with a common interface, or if its not too messy a combined common view for the 2 exchanges (the prices and $$ on the market will need to indicate its from betfair or betdaq). Of course all this is possible now by opening a betfair and betdaq apps, entering the prices offered and click submit for each app. But for people betting in-running (as most people using the geeks toy would be) that will be a nuisance and maybe impossible due to the time lag in between.

Rather then being at the mercy of betfair and their changing rules, the best solution is to help rival competitor grow. However most people are still stuck betfair due to the poor liquidity in some betdaq markets. Some things will need to be worked out of course (linking the markets automatically or manually etc) but what do you all think of this suggestion?

Sorry this is never going to happen. It is against Betfair's terms and conditions to have an app that can place bets on both Betfair and Betdaq. The apps must be completely separate.
