Betfair Down / Betfair site crash
I'm done with Betfair. This pretty much happens every week now. Whatever their T & C's say, by holding client's accounts and accepting deposits for the purpose of betting/trading and then failing in the proper facilitation of betting/trading using those deposits, there must be (at the very least), a further or concurrent implied contract under which our rights are protected. They are in breach...
Shame you didn't buy them or got involved in the buyout
From what I understand they are just going back into their prior ownership and therefore I don't really see any hope for optimism on that front.
Also I don't think with the already falling liquidity on Betfair, spreading it ever more thinly is the answer. The idea of exchanges taking over the betting landscape had its chance and that chance has now past. Exchanges, legislation allowing, will be around for a long time yet but they will not achieve what they should have done in the market place. To much time has passed and the other operators have taken that time to adapt their own offerings.
This thread and the themes in it will still be going in another 10 years, people saying we need change, we need to act.

1323 went inplay without issue and not noticed anything else with the systems so it looks like they either were still wiping their arse or waiting on the kettle to boil for the 1315. race.
Shall we have a whip round for one of those instant boiling water taps for them?
