Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[spreadbetting]

At least you saved a few quid on your website design, was like a trip back to the nineties

In all seriousness good luck with it, not sure it's gonna make your fortune but you need to risks if you want to get anywhere in life. Plus even if it doesn't set the world alight you'll learn hell of a lot more from a failed business than simply sitting on a handful of business ideas.

If I place a Back bet and then further down I place my net stake and TAKE SP on Betangel, this is different to Taking SP on the Betfair Website. What I am wondering to saved a few people next time out If and when Betfair goes down if we take this extra step and take sp on the website would it then be Betfairs resonsibility to at least match the net stake at BSP when the markets are sorted out?

Yes that's something people do, sometimes by way of automaton which modifies the persistence of unmatched bets.

I misread your posting, setting an unmatched bet to take sp on the site is exactly the same as setting it in BA.

I've seen a couple of wobbles in the last half hour. Max stress is 3pm so keep an eye open.

Yes, a few things are back now though, problem is it's the worthless shite (bingo etc)

I remember last time it went down in the morning the same thing happened in the afternoon, not what you want if trading big stakes at Aintree

That's why I created a Betdaq account for the first time a couple of days ago and downloaded the B.A betdaq software.

Looks good and maybe the way forward, more liquidity in the markets than I envisaged that's for sure.
