Betfair back up again
Let's see how long this lasts...
Betfair Down / Betfair site crash
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.

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.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 2:59 pmThe losses are bad but fortunately don't appear to be disproportionate.

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.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 3:07 pmI'd much rather have a 50 pence green turn into a £10 red than a £1500 green turn to £3300 red.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 2:59 pmThe losses are bad but fortunately don't appear to be disproportionate.

Which wallets are you transferring between? Thought they got rid of the Australian wallet
No issues according to https://status.developer.betfair.com/
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.

Your transfer hasn't happened.
We had a network issue while attempting to transfer your funds. Please try again in a few minutes.
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?Euler wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 5:53 amI 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.

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)..
