There's been a lot of discussion about that on this forum but it wouldn't be fair on punters who just places a bet on a winner and finds the bet voided. It would also put punters off using Betfair if they know their bet can be voided.riskybet wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 12:55 amHi all. Been reading the forums on and off for a while now. Will try to get serious with my trading next week or so.
But what I was wondering about is the following: Wouldnt it be fair to void all markets/bets that gets effected by a betfair crash?
Isnt that possible or wouldnt that be fair? What am I missing..
Also bonus question. How many times does betfair crashes on average in a year?
Thanks guys.
I'd guess there's 3-5 major outages a year when it's down for over an hour. Shorter periods of downtime or occasions when the markets get 'sticky' and there's a few seconds delay when placing bets are more common.
