What does that kind of outage mean? The API - ie. Bet Angel - not being able to update/get account funds status? Something weird seems to be happening with that...
Edit: Nevermind on the last bit. It's acting up, because BF are doing their usual pissing all over themselves, with resettling, reresettling and rereresettling markets where they couldn't handle VAR.

All (inplay) football markets suspended simultaniously for the second time within 15 minutes, after being opened for a 5 minutes or so. Potentiel outage incoming, so thread carefully guys....
i'm more inclined to think it is an issue with their own systems and they are just using lost feed as an excuse not to admit the real issue

As late as yesterday two Brazilian Serie A matches were not put inplay for a large part of early goings. Every major bookie and other exchange I ran by was offering them inplay, and oddsporal confirmed it with live odds everywhere else. And that includes BF's own Sportsbook, so I wouldn't rule out it being the feed provider and wouldn't underestimate just how much of a discount solution, they seem to have handpicked for the exchange. I was, months ago, banging on about it and how I felt, it showed a dangerous lack of commitment to the exchange versus other products. I felt and still feel it's a real threath to trading (unless someone shows up to take BF's place), but nobody seemed to care.
