At BetFair Predicts, they are technologically retarded.

Posted on October 28, 2008 by Chris F. Masse

- BetFair Predicts is a blog that aims at the Americans. In my view, it’s a big failure (once again). BetFair listened to some snake-oil “social media” consultant. As an experienced and successful webmaster, I can tell you there are … Continue reading →
