Attention Beta Testers
If you are a new member here on Laytheodds.com, I just wanted to WELCOME you to the community. It’s fantastic to have you here…
As most of you will be aware, laytheodds.com has been online for well over 5 years providing Betfair related information from tipping, trading, laying, backing, product reviews and new product news. We currently have between 500-1000 visitors to the site each day and in just 2 days, we have 100+ new members!
In order to follow the trends of the way the Internet is going with more community based websites where people can get together, meet each other, share comments, review products, give their feedback and learn how to make money in the gambling industry I decided to take a risk to turn this site into a fully blown betting community.
Over the next few months, I’ll be adding new features, creating new groups, forums and different sections on the website. My initial goal is to bring in 1000 new members to the community to help grow the content, tips, reviews etc that will drive the community.
Over the next few week’s I’ll be putting out support video’s, how to type video’s on how to use the site, creating your blog and interacting within the community. I want YOU to get the most out of being part of this community.
As you are one of the FIRST Beta testers of the new look site, I need your help and feedback on what you would like on the site.
At present I’ve had a request for a Facebook and Twitter integration so people can invite their friends and share their content on these sites. This will really help the community build.
Please leave me a comment at the bottom of this post to let me know:
- Are there any features you’d like to see added?
- Do you need help with your new blog? ie. template, features, setting it up and getting the most out of it?
- What is your purpose for being on this site? To get to know others, to learn, to promote your product or service?
- Is there anything I can do to make your life easier? ie. Record video’s, create how-to type tutorials?
- What do you like and dislike about the new look laytheodds.com so I can improve it?
I look forward to hearing your feedback. REMEMBER that I can only help you and learn more about your needs if you let me know your situation.
One of my goals is to turn laytheodds.com into a more INTERACTIVE community where we comment, and share our ideas rather than just sitting in silence like most do in community based forums.
If you are a product owner, tipster, or just a regular punter/trader, this is a great opportunity to learn more from each other and teach and share your knowledge with a POWERFUL community.
If you are a product owner, a tipster or even just a regular punter, A MAJOR advantage of gaining trust within the community is to use a REAL photograph/image of yourself on your profile. Also, add your biography so we know who you are.
It will open up so many more doors for you, will help you gain trust and credibility especially if you are trying to sell a product or plan on launching a service n the future.
Thank you,
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
As one of LTO authors (Financial Author) I would like to be a beta tester using my extensive professional knowledge in Finance and Trading.
The site has turned out great and a big improvement, definately the way forward, congratulations.
I think perhaps adding a button that has many different social interaction sites would be useful instead of just relying on twitter and facebook. One such button can be seen here http://www.dailytalkforum.com/thread-eu-uk-us-daily-stockbroking-news?pid=48883#pid48883 which is next to a reply button. It has the ability to reach vast amounts of persons in seconds and the options extend into the hundreds!
PS By the way my photo is real
