Back on, it seems. At least the tennis has been turned inplay. We'll see if it lasts...
There would be no need at all for open-ended liabilities with site crashes if Guardian could accurately place green-up bets at prices other than the current back or lay prices. We could set Guardian to green every few minutes (using the net stake feature) at say 50% away from the current market level and also trigger 'Take SP' every few minutes. Betfair always reconcile an SP.
I and others did suggest this before on the Suggestions thread. It surely can't be that difficult to introduce, since we're already part-way there?
No more need for panic with crashes, power cuts or internet failures.

Same here, large bets on the football and unable to cancel some bets so don't even know if the website is showing correct liabilities. The PC allowance was supposed to encourage us to increase liquidity but it's becoming so ureliable to place bets in advance at the moment as the site seems to be so flaky.
