Is it just me or did betfair not just freeze completely for 10 seconds then?

Happened again, not safe at all.

I've emailed betfair but if anyone out there (cough cough Peter) has quicker access to them..... ;)

I rang the helpdesk and apparantly they are aware of the problem. They're calling it a 'technical problem with the website' so if that's true and its not just the API then mode 1 might not be enough to save us this time!

Raised it with the BF Twitter helpdesk, they replied that they're aware of it and are looking into it, but also said that it appears to be an API only problem.

Not prepared to take the risk until it's resolved though.
