Default Topbetter - what is it and how do i get access?

Topbetter is an odds comparison tool which automatically scrolls through over 30 bookmakers odds and compares the results to the betfair lay figure. You can therefore see the closest matches at any given bookmaker at any given time saving you many hours of searching.

It is available to all active members of TheGamblersUnderground Sportsbook bonus section for the first month of applying for it. Firstly go to Top Better - Home and register an account for free. Then to apply for free access send an E-mail to topbetter@thegamblingtimes.com stating your name, your TGU forum username, and your Top Better - Home username.

Access is free for a limited promotional time of one month only, and is for active forum members only and will be withdrawn at topbetter.co.uk's discretion.

I got my username about a month ago but never really looked into the website. Have just been on to realise what a quality service this is. I enjoy finding matches and arbs but this should certainly save me and anyone else who is match betting some time.

Theres a massive list of decent close matched odds and you can even filter it down to a specific bookie or even a particular sport. I shall likely be using this a much as possible.

Cheers.

Yeah I have been using IE and it works fine. There are some boxes situated just above the list of matched odds. So above where it lists the company names, type in the bookie you're doing and it brings up a few specifically to that company. The same idea with sports etc.

Oooh yes so it does! Ironically TGT only works properly with Firefox, stupid web browsers, will have to synchronise it somehow.

The 'Fivers Team' here have emailed me to say TopBetter free access is up and running for me now, but when I go to theTopbetter home page it offers me the USUAL THINGS EG SUBSCRIBE for £5. Do I use the referral code (?) whatever that is or what do I do to enter Topbetter? Any help appreciated

Been sent email from tech at Topbetter. I am told that the only things you can do are enter abbreviated code for bookie in empty box ie. 365, sporting etc. (you have to work them out yourself. Another example victor. As for sports, Football is the only one currently available.

Hi there, at the time of writing (10.30pm Sunday evening) , when I log in, it says "there are no items to display", is this right? Possible end-of season-pre season related?

Sorry for the problems over the past few days. I've been away and unfortunately the server fell over. I tried remotely connecting to fix the problem but I was unable to get access to restart it.

If you have been give free access to the site for 6 months then I will ensure that your free access is extended by a further week. This means that you will get an extra week during the football season rather than now.

Once again, sorry for these problems.

Thanks for the update.

Just had a look in and still not displaying anything, is this technical or purely nothing available?

There is loads there for me now, you should see them all too. It does work best in IE but you can see the closest matches in both now. Well I can I will see what could be up with it (well ask the guy who would know)
