Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[sa7med]

Just an update on the issues relating to the Exchange this evening. We have determined the cause of the outage and as a result a series of follow up actions are being taken to prevent this happening again in the future.

You'd think they would've done that the last few times this happened. Seems very similar to last outages.

They need to work hard to establish trust as the number of recent issues, indicate a much deeper problem.

The delay between suspending and putting races inplay was very long on Saturday. It feel pretty uncomfortable.

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.

First sign of API sticking.

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?

Yes, every week.

Objectively speaking there appears to be plenty of capacity available for Ascot.

Hey BA massif - is this another BF lagging issue?
Ladder & Trader show correct runners/riders, one-click showed some other collection...?
Freaked me out, so I bailed at first sight of green

No, you have your one-click screen sorted 'by order of back price' (and scrolled down the field)
and the in-play trader screen with 'no sorting' ie, still in the BF default row order

What a tit

I'll have another conversation with Betfair this week about the outages. Not sure if I'll be able to relay the conversation but at least I can represent everybody's views.
