Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Euler]

And the 16:20

[Shuffler]

Do they return stakes when the site crashes ?

[dt888]

What's your position, when was it taken and was there any bet persistance? I.e. keep or sp bets?

[spreadbetting]

I see they had planned maintenance this morning, seems to be a pattern with their upgrades actually being downgrades. Chepstow not in play now either

tram 1635 and sedge 1640 now suspended

Ouch, can't say you didn't see it coming though, especially as last two races not gone in play. Fingers crossed it'll actually go in your favour.

What happens in these situations? You just have to wear it?

[dt888]

And breathe, phew..

I'm trading cricket and I have not spotted anything amiss but now I'm braced for an outage

[eightbo]

As the API is fine, which part of Betfair's IT's infrastructure is the source of today's issue?

[dt888]

Pretty much. Over the years its about evened itself out for me. Still nervous moments though

Was looking at a 4 figure loss there but the leader dropped away so I was lucky this time

[brimson25]

I was on the leader, so opposite problem.

Hard to see how anyone can trade with any confidence anymore.

[ShaunWhite]

What's happening?
I just came in and found a load of suspended markets, and open positions that should have been closed?

[PeterLe]

Im just glad they're not running something important; like Air Traffic Control or the Ambulance service!
