once again apologises for the problems this morning. we hope to have full service resumed within the hour - irving

We believe that we have final fixed the bugs that results from last weeks update - old odds not disappearing ! We are basically trying to provide the broadist section of odds from good bookmakers (which are refreshed as often as possible). Minor modifications will be carried out next week as we continue to concentrate on getting American football odss from more bookmakers - have a good weekend.

during thursday and friday we implemented some extensive changes to our Odds Comparison engine. This has made a significant inprovement to the speed at which odds information is refreshed on the site. Unfortunately there are number of bugs with the new software implementation so if we could ask for your patience while we correct these - Irving

We are pleased to announce that we have started to introduce WSEX odds onto the site. 

although not hot of the press stuff we thought we would clarify what was happening to the sportingbet empire. Basically it has sold off its American facing companies largely to the management team who are rebranding under the Sportsbook.com brand. Non US customers seem to have been switched from brands such as SportingbetUsa and BetUSA to Sportsbook.com (though this is not entirely clear). We will continue to provide odds for SportingbetUSA, Sportbook.com and BetUSA unless bad reviews come in - these books were largely self run anyway. 

We have changed the ‘Top Differences’ stat section. Now - instead of comparing highest to smallest odds offered from an outcome - we compare highest to the average odds. Hopefully this will be more helpful when trying to spot ‘good prices’.

unfortunately it seems to be the month for failed bookies. Hopefully outstanding accounts etc will be resolved as quickly as the Multibet situation!

Betgun odds will be introduced to the site over the next week. With a good intro promotion, reasonable odds and speedy customer service they should be of interest to Search4bets users

changes have been made to allow users to view the search4bets site using firefox. If there are any problems with the implementation please do not hesitate to email admin@search4bets.com - thanks

Multibet did indeed stop trading last Sunday. The good news is that they are still responding to support inquiries and they look as if they will make good with payments (their sister site CentreRacing still appears to be an on going concern).
