Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Derek27]

Thanks Peter, don't know why they're so secretive about it. No mention of it on twitter!

[Derek27]

Haven't notice any break in connection with the API. I hope they've finished whatever they're doing - perhaps a rehearsal dealing with tomorrow's outage.

[Euler]

Pleased to see there was no outage, hopefully that means it went OK. Fingers crossed for today, such a big day.

If they fuck up today then they will have serious problems. I have already been stung once by their outages. For me I now use Saturdays as training day in simulation.

I'm expecting to carry large liabilities on a number of sports today, so a cock up today would be catastrophic for them.

The timeform link from the betfair page isn't working!!
Service unavailable.

IMHO 'fingers crossed' shouldn't come into it! Betfair - like any other business - should be providing a product that is fit for purpose; after all, isn't that what we pay our commission for? If it isn't fit for purpose - service keeps going down for instance - then surely, they should compensate their customers?

I get emails from betdaq help desk, maybe check your spam?

Seen on twitter people were having problems last night too, and still not back online

[PDC]

1410 not turned inplay and still open well after race finished. The previous race was also slow to be turned inplay but was.

Use extreme caution!

[Euler]

Still open!

Any logic why people/bots are still laying tens of thousands of pounds on the winner at 1.11 and below when all bets will be voided?
