Got a bit greedy on that last, walked away with a fraction of what I could have won

Guess that's a bit how contestants felt on Bullseye in the 80s
Your bully and darts are safe but due you want to wager your winnings for half a kitchen or half a speed boat?

"Betting on the Exchange has been temporarily disabled due to technical issues being suffered."
Hmm, glad I switched from live to practice mode a few races back :-) Scary ....

I know the exact second BA stopped working! Had Lathom backed for £100...As he was beaten a neck & i had a hedge at 1.02 i wd surely have won £90 odd. What happened was that it stopped mid race & i managed to hedge for 0.48p!! This morning i was up a few quid on Bertens tennis...twice had Konta to break at A/40 which she couldn't achieve...which had she done so...would have had a nice profit...hedged out for a small red when Bertens was 5-4 serving for the match...went to take the dog for a walk expecting the match wd be finished ...only to find that Bertens had drifted right out...& Konta only went on to win the match!!! If i was at all superstitious...I would be convinced there is an evil gremlin working against me! As it is....you have to be very very resiliant at this game...but there does come a point where you wonder if its worth all the countless hours day after day!!! :evil: :evil: (Bitch over!)

It's funny, when Betfair is off, other exchanges lose liquidity and prices are all over the place. Arbs/sure bets easily can be taken, just need to have accounts at Smarkets, Matchbook, Betdaq. As of writing this 16:40 Navan, Linger: price 1.53 Betdaq, 1.8 Smarkets.

But it's not worth the hassle opening all them - as soon as Betfair goes on - no more opportunity.

BF have settled my outage-affected horse races.
Looks like the much-recommended 'Take SP' setting used on ALL unmatched orders saved my a$$ today :D

Not the most exciting prospects today for UK/Eire.
Anyone thinking it will warmup later?
