Live streaming football accumulated delay

[jwoody8]

Hi guys.

The problem I am having is that I can find good streams for football without too much of a delay. I don't know if my laptop is the problem, but its never a 100% smooth stream, every few seconds it will stop for a fraction of a second then resume. I assumed when it comes back it would be in time but these little stops add up overtime and what I found tonight is the Chile v Uruguay game was that the market was suspended and nothing happened in the game. A minute later Chile scored.

I took note of the clock after play resumed at about 78 minutes and refreshed the page. This took about 10 seconds and when the stream came back the match clock on the video showed 80mins 35seconds. It seems these little stops in the stream are in effect pausing the stream then it resumes but doesn't catch up to the real time stream. Over the course of 30 mins I'm losing about a minute and a half in tiny pauses in the stream which means I may as well be watching Top Gear while trading than a 'live' stream thats over a minute behind the action.

I just wondered is this something you guys have come across at all and is it due to my laptop just not able to hold the stream in real time or some other issue?

Look forward to hearing what you guys think. Thanks

I regularly suffer similar problems. Some of it is my new internet connection, some may be the laptop.

The only real solution I can offer, is that I refresh the stream every time that it resumes after a hang. If that means I'm doing it every minute, so be it.

Not really an option for me as mine pauses every few seconds for a fraction of a second. It would mean reloading the page every few seconds and waiting 10 seconds for it to load before doing it again a few seconds later. Impossible situation.....

do you tried to watch with different browser or update your browser and flash player to latest version? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

I get this now and again with horse racing while watching betfairs feed

Same thing was with me. Same with AGT video and same via Chrome. BF Live feed is freezing for one second many times during the race. Flash player is the latest version. Internet connection is ok.

I've been getting a lot of these second or so freezes on BF streams - horse racing is a pain since one second is huge; tennis, etc, less so but can be infuriating. I've never noticed them until the last month or so, which has coincided with me changing internet provider and just presumed it was that. It always coincides with a pause in the market on API but not noticed whether the rest of internet goes down at the same time or not. Maybe it is Betfair and not me. Are their servers creaking that much?

I almost got stung tonight on the football.

Was scalping the unders and then the market stopped and bounced between 2 ticks for 2 minutes like when there's a stoppage. Sure enough 2 minutes later there was a head injury that was being treated which caused the price to stop moving. From the resulting free kick - goal.

This was streaming live on bet365. Same thing as other streams I've tried. Getting to the point where it's impossible to use now.

Not happy.

[jwoody8]

I still think it is the speed of the processor in my old laptop so I set up the same stream in my laptop and on my ipad on bet365 and sure enough the stoppages on the laptop added up to a few seconds every minute whereas the iPad ran smoothly and stayed just behind the live action as it should

delay boxes

Hi everyone

At present I`m living in the UK and i dont know nothing about the fastest TV connections to do trading. I was advised to go for Virgin or Sky but the problems is, I dont know which is the best?. Can I find an analogic TV box instead of digital as its faster, quicker.

Could you please advice me?

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Hy all

1. install sport player (I have lots of urls, but sportplayer is the easyest to do with, since you have it on your desktop as aprogram)

2. open the BET365 and decide the match you want to trade - bet365 has a timer, so can see the minute and the second your match is at that point..

3. go to the sport palyer - update and you get your daily matches and choose the one you want to watch - every match has 2or more streams, so you can easily find the one without delay without opening too many pages


4. enjoy and GREEN UP POWER :Woohoo

So, you dont need to install sport player. Its easiest betfair or bet365 video.

guys, what about bet365 video these days? delay, minimum deposit, stake placed needed. I have left it some year ago cause as I remember there was some restriction to watch it based on staking activity.

Re: Bet365.

Some of the delays are significant. If the Bet365 timer is to be believed, then I saw a video on Sunday night that was 15 seconds behind. Add a 12-second bet delay on Betfair, and you can be several lengths of the pitch behind live.

I don't believe there is any requirement to bet with Bet365. I opened my account 12 months ago simply to watch the US Open with £10 and have only ever had 1 £2 bet with them - on the Grand National.
