I let my cynicism run away with me there!
Maybe not the slots are back up and working :)

Why is the liquidity on BETDAQ still poor during a Betfair outage?

Doesn't the current huge drop in liquidity on Betdaq at the moment show that it mostly linked to Betfair and cross exchange trading

Most of the other exchanges leech their prices from Betfair so if there's no prices on Betfair they can't price up. I looked at smarkets for the next race and the spreads are ridiculous a spread of 9 - 11 on Flying Sahkee and at least 3-4 ticks between the others with less than £100 liquidity at the front prices

Its the big hitters trading the Karnataka Premier League T20 who will be most affected by this.

Why folk want to abuse those who man BetfairCS twitter is beyond me, they are low on the totem pole and nothing to do with them.

Impressive that they can build something that is so fragile.

The £200m they are returning to shareholders via a buyback could be better spent I suggest.

Me too... I've come out of it £5 up when I was expecting to be either £6 down or breaking even. It looks like in the confusion I traded once more than I thought I had. :lol: Easy done when everything seems non-responsive, I guess.

Nevertheless, that's my day done. It's my very strict policy to make no further trades during any day on which there's an outage.
