I imagine employee morale at the joint must be at an all-time low, but who knows.
Every day I have to ask them to load some market or other.
All today's baseball markets not loaded yet - really can't be bothered, especially as better prices are available with bookies.
After comm/Pc, Betfair just isn't as relevant these days for pre-game players.
Betfair Down / Betfair site crash
It actually went inplay but was then suspended after about 20 seconds or so. Was really annoying as I had a back to lay on Tigerpomp one of the outsiders which took up the running 2 out and looked like it would pull off a shock as the 2 pricipals were briefly caught flat footed. Unfortunately Tigerpomp fell at the last but would probably have lost anyway.
I'm assuming the win part of the bet will stand.

hold on, wait a minute... i have been learning to trade for quite a while now but not over a year.
i just read that if i have a bet open for say 200 pounds and i am just about to place a lay bet for profit and green up, if there is an outage where bet fair crashes then my 200 pound gets turned into a single bet without being able to cash out or lay it to get it back?
if this is so, then its put a spanner in the works and has dramatically put me off trading.
surely if the website crashes then based on morals why wouldn't bet fair just cancel all bets...
hold on, shouldn't they be called BET UNFAIR?

The Betfair baseball mkts are v weak - maybe 5k traded.
Can easily get the 400-1000 I want with bookies, often at better prices.
Just want Betfair mkts up so other sites can copy.
Liquidity on quite a lot of non-premium markets is pathetic.
The seniors masters golf had something like 800 traded on the first 3 days. I don't know who buys the PP/Betfair shares, cos
I just can't see any growth and a totally pissed user base (but maybe the mugs dont see it)
Have a look at some of the womens golf markets. Sure, they marginal events, but this is the crap Betfair are supposed to be
using PC for .. its total BS - they do nothing to promote any more - at least in the markets I trade.
The cricket runs lines mkts have all gone to skins - again due to poor customer service in putting up markets/trap bettors who are
allowed to do whatever they want.
Its easy to rant about Bf - v hard to find anything they do well any more.

Hasn't it just gone up because they've been buying every company under the sun?
If only there was a viable alternative, if you're into horse racing then probably Citibet but only if you can build trust with an agent, but these crypto exchanges look worse than Honest Joe.
No, no one will void them

Will takeSP cover me if an outage occurs?
