Just saw on Twitter Mark Iverson (cricket trader) had a near £6,000 loss having been in a £700 green position prior to the outage. Gutting for him. :(

Lost over 3k myself.....My own fault as I carried on in the market after the first crash, turning £1500 green into £3300 red :cry:

Would be fuming if my loss was down too Betfair not cancelling bets during the first outage

The losses are bad but fortunately don't appear to be disproportionate. I've turned a £7 green into a £60 loss or a £15 green into a £33 loss before without mitigating circumstances, so given this wasn't under your control I hope you feel you got off quite lightly. You're obviously pretty good at controlling your liability vs the upside.

I'd much rather have a 50 pence green turn into a £10 red than a £1500 green turn to £3300 red. ;)

I'm sympathetic don't get me wrong, but lets say it's better than turning a (usually) 50p green into a (omfg) £3k loss. I was just looking at risk/reward rather than the actual numbers.

Can't transfer funds between wallets this morning, so having to work with a tiny balance in Australia. Thanks Betfair.

Which wallets are you transferring between? Thought they got rid of the Australian wallet :?

I park money in other wallets to protect against anything unusual and bring them back when I want to use larger stakes, but it's ain't working.

No funds can be transferred on any account this morning.

I thought you ran your bots on seperate accounts to your manual trading account? So not sure what unusual things could happen on your manual account? Or maybe I have miss understood your accounts set up?

Couldn't you just deposit some more funds, surely you have a few thousand sat in a bank account unless that is what you class as a tiny balance :?

Anyone experiencing issues with loading markets from Betfair? (just get a "retrieving markets" message on the market selection screen in bet angel)..
