BetFair Predicts is supposed to be run from San Francisco, aiming at the Americans —the content is stripped from the links to the BetFair prediction exchange, which is yet illegal in the U.S.A., so that BetFair does not appear to be promoting illegal web betting to the US residents.
Instead of that noble purpose, the webmaster who runs BetFair Predicts (from HammerSmith, in London, U.K.) just republishes the content (on the 2008 US elections and on the 2008–2009 NFL championship) written for the Betting @ BetFair blog, which is aimed at the British bettors, and which displays decimal odds (instead of probabilities expressed in percentage, favored by the Americans).
BetFair Predicts is not true to its original purpose, in my view. No wonder so few people subscribed to it. You can see in Google Reader that only 10 people subscribed to BetFair Predicts via Google Reader:
