Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[dt888]

I'm not quite sure yet how everything has been settled but my balance is pretty close to what I hoped. No harm done.

Is everyone confident about making a full resumption ?

Good to hear

And no, never confident after problems so I'm doing a lot of watching at the moment and dipping in and out

not a bad idea.
I think i'll settle for what i've got today rather than spoilt it looking for more

[LeTiss]

The England-Pakistan and WBA-Villa markets are trading fine

[Euler]

Spoke too soon?

[Euler]

How can the only major footy match this evening be suspended for 5 minutes and not allowed inplay. If a goal goes in this could get very painful.

[LeTiss]

It was going swimmingly pre=match

[Euler]

Shambles inplay. And then they didn't turn to qualify in play until after the first penalty, then suspended it again at 2-3. Total cock up.

[brimson25]

Are these things ever explained?

I feel really angry.

[brimson25]

I have a sense that they are becoming more frequent? Does anyone else share that? Or am I noticing more?

[Naffman]

Their API status page is down...not really a good sign

I don't understand how a business whose essence is to provide an exchange (and print money, therefore) fails so often in that defining task.

I guess it's a reflection that their corporate priority is the casino, the sportsbook and all the other robbing sh1te.

In a just world, they'd all get thrown in the sea, but god knows we don't live in a just world.

Cheers! At least my rage is articulate

BF are pushing the bourdaries of what's technically and logistically possible, 99.9% of the time we benefit from that. Millions of transactions a second and responses that we measure in milliseconds, anyone who's worked in systems will know that's not too shabby. If there's times we pay the price for that in inconvenience then so be it. I agree it could certainly be better, but I don't think it's worth losing sleep over, and I'm amazed and thankful it's there at all most of the time rather than being too miffed when it isn't.

You're like the good fairy to my miserable old sod today!
