    I'v put up my new site which analises betting trends for different UK horse races. I just want some opinions on the style and userfriendlyness of the site. It's still a work in progress so don't focus on small technical problems.
    Thanks.

    I will be adding an instruction page soon which explains how the results tables work.

    I like the integration of the horse image on the right but the logo on the left looks crap, the "mate" bit of anyway.

    A side from that I would like to get an idea of how the website is going to be run. As a punter I would more interested in historical records of results, odds, jockeys, etc rather than where punters placed their bet in the past.

    Also, I cant help but think this is going to be a high maintainance website. I would go hire a coder to make a php template driven site to automate everything, make your job alot easier.

    Hope this helps.

    Mike.

    The site is all automated so there isn't really a problem there. It's all ready been coded with php and mySQL database. I'll be putting a lot more info about the actual details of the system soon. I agree with the critisism about the logo, not really a graphics designer.
    Thanks.

    Sorry about that didnt realize, lol. How are you thinking of generating revenue, advertising bookmakers? If so, I would recommend william hill, they seem very fair and have accurate statistics, stay clear of bet365.

    Iv set up a subscription system through PayPal, that wont be activated for a long time though, the site is only partly completed. I'm going to create a virtual bank roll where I will pick bets each day and people can see how they do and how the over all bank roll increases or decreases. And I really need to explain how the actual system works.
    Thanks for the info about William Hill, might be a good second option.
