Its looks like my bot has been tring to place bets but my account was exceeded. So its kept trying to place bets and racking up transaction bet s every time. Nothing on any statement though, I guess that will be tomorrow.
I will ring betfair and see if there is anything they can do.
I know someone has been recommended on the forum before to speak at betfair regarding transaction charges, who is it ?
its quite a bit of money !

Just some of the quotes on Betfair Community today, lol ...
Bob “ it’s down again”
Bill “What’s down?”
Bob “the exchange”
Bill “The what?”
Bob “The exchange”
Bill “what’s the exchange”
Bob “ I don’t know ffs, I hoped you did”
Hello there, we are sorry that £7.61 is missing from your account but this does not give you permission to racially abuse our staff and threaten us with violence.
In business, why would you close the shop during business hours?
Next thing they’ll be telling us there’s a man in blue dungarees going around with an oil can.

Wondered why my bot closed an open position so late...at least it did and was only one trade.What a shambles.'Also an ex IT geek and if organisations I worked for had this much down-time my ass would be roasted too hot to sit on.A joke re the maintenance excuse too I reckon

The problem with supporting complex systems is the lead time before someone's useful. Throw everyone out and you're quickly in a worse position than when you started. That's very much how it all feels now, the decline has accelerated. It's a hole that's difficult to get out of, but not impossible with the right leadership. Management are always last to feel the heat but usually the root of the problem.
I swapped message with somebody senior at Betfair yesterday and suggested they make a comment more than an standard apology, which they did yesterday evening. It went down like a sack of, but at least it shows some intent. I'll be focused on Ascot this week, but will probably follow up with them at some point and try and understand why these issues keep occurring.
Where is this comment? Can you quote please?Euler wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 10:10 amI swapped message with somebody senior at Betfair yesterday and suggested they make a comment more than an standard apology, which they did yesterday evening.

You'd think they would've done that the last few times this happened. Seems very similar to last outages.
I slightly more detailed account of what the problem was would be appreciated. Obviously their series of follow up actions are not preventing it from happening again or a new and different problem is surfacing every week, which suggests the entire system is extremely flawed and fragile.
Does anyone have any stats on BF exchange crashes. I know on 2 years on the weekend before Chelt Fest the exchange has gone down. From memory, I think it has previously happened on at least a one other occasion before a major meet. Now again in the days running up to ascot
As they doing some system reconfiguring to cope with the anticipated additional volume/strains on the exchange I wonder?
