Well this isn't true, Virgin Media have 100 meg connection speeds which I could have if I got the upgraded router and paid some more per month.
The Virgin tech I spoke to a few month back told me I would be able to get 200 meg next year.
Obviously not everyone can get this but there are some of us with Virgin cable who can.

with speeds like that you will obviously make a fortune from fast pics.. :lol:

I have been using the Betfair video a bit.

ATR on Virgin TV is a joke. It is so behind it is like looking at another race.

The pictures with Betfair are 5 seconds faster than ATR on Virgin cable TV.

I will check with my brother who has Sky to see how the Betfair speeds are for ATR and RUK.

The Cobain website is not amateurish, it is basic. It doesn't give anything away.
It would be interesting to know if anyone is actually getting pictures from these people.

cobain do fast pics for everything, not just horse racing. There main customers are the bookies.

Hi,
Had a trail with cobain ltd last year cannot afford the price they are asking so i am trying to find a sydicate to join.
I am finding the picture delays to much without these streams.
Betfairs own streaming has improved recently but still not enough.
I trade on mainly tennis also cricket.

Thanks

what were the stream speeds compared to betfairs feed on tennis and how much were they charging
were they doing other sports such as golf ?

hi granslam , do you know what the difference in delay times was with the horse racing ?

by **granslam** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:06 pm

Hi Jumpsfan,

When i had a trail i looked through most of the channels all the sports i looked at which i could compare with sky were at least 4 or 5 seconds infront.
A shame the old analogue tv pictures are being phased out over the coming weeks now.Sports you could pick up on BBC or ITV were a few seconds infront of Sky Pictures.
Cobain pictures will be what we are all looking for but cost is to much. I have not found another company which provides this service thats not to say there is not one out there. a syndicate to join is what i'm looking for.

Hi Andy,

I have found Betfairs tennis feeds have improved a little especially tennis which i was watching on eurosport which was near impossiable before Betfairs impovements but cobains feeds worst case senario 4 seconds to 5. This may have changed a little since my trial.
They do cover all sports most tournments by region packages
(Gold) European, Nordic, Asia and Us.
(Silver) European and Nordic
(Bronze) European
Cost has gone up since my trail now £7000, £6000 and £5000per month.
A LOT IS AN UNDER STATEMENT!
You can be in a syndicate of up to 10 people.
Another big problem is they don't help put syndicates together.
Hope this helps.

hi granslam

thanks for the reply .

did you compare RUK on sky with cobain, if so , what was the difference . i think RUK is about 3 seconds behind live at the moment . also , do they stream these pictures over the internet to you, or do you need some special satellite equipment ?

by **granslam** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 8:04 pm

Hi Jumpsfan,

I don't know about RUK sorry. Feeds are over the internet, a down loaded player.

granslam was the trial with cobain or did they pass you on to someone else

by **Triggerhappy** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:16 pm

i thought cobain was only marginally ahead of sis and not worth it. These parasites (SIS and Cobain) shd realise ppl are skypeing the pictures from the track now and their days of ripping ppl off are numbered.

by **granslam** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:57 pm

My trail was with Cobain.
I don't want to pay for pictures, which a number of years ago i did not need to but without these feeds i have found it harder and harder year on year to compete with those who have them, which i feel has been on the increase.
It would be great if everyone was on a level playing field but as we all know life is not like that.
I hope Triggerhappy is right that their days are numbered!

i,m sure the racetracks will ban these people for picture rights if they can catch them in the act

Cobain Ltd and fast pictures

need faster pictures
