Plus loads of advice overall in threads like these OP, seeing as you've asked a few times about it already : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21680

I was saved by Take SP from blowing a bank a couple of days ago when Betfair went down.

I forget if Take SP still triggers when your own internet/power goes off?

Take SP isn't a BA setting but a Betfair persistence type, so once Take SP has been selected for a horse you don't have to be online as the Betfair servers handle it.
