BetTornado has been designed specifically for the iPad, with different displays to cater for a variety of Sports Betting customers.

While the majority of users will find the simple ‘Bet Mode’ is all they really need, those who wish to trade the markets will find the specially designed ‘Trade Mode’ enables them to place bets very quickly and hedge profits or losses just as they would do with specialist trading software on a computer or laptop.

The extensive range of features has been designed by people with years of hands on experience trading the Betfair markets.

A third display, “Watch Mode” enables the user to choose individual selections from a variety of markets across different sports and load them all onto the same screen. Bets can then be placed on this screen as the desired odds are reached without having to keep checking different markets.

By including a ‘Training Mode’ which uses play money to place imaginary bets on Betfair, BetTornado also gives users a chance to learn how to use the software without risking losing real money.
