The definitive proof that it’s presently impossible to practice prediction market journalism with BetFair.

Unlike InTrade and NewsFutures, BetFair does not deliver any chart after that the prediction market has expired —leaving the blog post that linked to it totally blank (in a digital world where old content is King, and where Google sends traffic to old blog posts).
The BetFair marketing department is staffed by arrogant incompetents who are incapable of establishing a working relationship with prediction market bloggers like me.
There is nothing more important for our industry than the uprising of new blogs that would hot-link to the charts of prediction markets. The BetFair marketing team hasn’t computed that yet, in spite of all efforts made in their direction.
Of all the prediction market firms I talk with, BetFair is the most impermeable to the prediction market approach: their degree of arrogance is inversely proportional to their level of competency.
