I got an email a few days ago telling me about the one planned today.
It's still taking me to the correct page, so not sure what's going on with the link for you.arbitrage16 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 6:40 pmSounds useful thanks. only issue is the link isn't pointing where it should!

You can just go to forum.developer.betfair.com and then click on the Announcements topic; it's the first one in the list of topics shown.

Getting all these BA errors for the last 30 mins or so. Just me?

Not a crash, but the last three UK greyhound races tonight failed to suspend correctly. Void bets all over the place.
A little rant incoming as it is so frustrating. If they could just get the basics right.....
I try and protect myself by taking BSP for bets that are unmatched at the off, but in these cases if the bet gets matched after the official off (by a bot or maybe an unsuspecting novice thinking they can bet on a winner after the race has run) then my bet placed correctly and legitimately before the off will be voided as well. If they don't get matched, I get reconciled to BSP, if they do get matched I get voided. It becomes a lottery. I have no way out once the error (their error!) has occurred.
How hard would it be to recognise that all bets placed pre off to take BSP at the off if unmatched should get retrospectively reconciled to BSP in these circumstances. By all means void anything PLACED after the suspension error, but not everything MATCHED after the error. Or void the entire race. Or, just get the basics right in the first place.
Tonight the voided bets went in my favour, most times they do not.
