I can't remember an outage at this time on a saturday before, hardly creaking under the weight of users. Maybe a super serious and prolonged outage that goes on for a very long time will be beneficial as it may finally concentrate minds with them to up their game.

43 minutes after I posted to this thread Betfair have made an announcement on Twitter, and the abuse has now started. :D

This time apparently, the sportsbook is affected.

Brazilian football match starting in about 20 mins has just been suspended. US matches later in the night not so yet.

Which begs the question: Does that mean that they've only just gained enough access to their own systems to make that suspension happen? And that they're on their way back. Or that they're recognising that they won't be back for at least 20 minutes, but have hope for the US matches in 2-3 hours?

On the US horse racing front, some markets are suspended and some aren't, but it's based on meetings rather than time, so I think the former is more likely.

Wooooo woooooo, must be a sign from the gods. If I come out with positive variance on this one, I'm sticking it all on bingo :lol:

A week long outage would give rise to new developments.

Instinct tells me this is a bit rubbish. Twice in a week is not good. If its due to one Romanian running around like an idiot tryinng to keep everything up (or bring everything back up) it speaks volumes about BF's view of the future.

Have they stopped responding? Or convinced Twitter to keep tweet exchanges private?

Usually any tweet at them along with their respond will be viewable, but there's nothing in the last hour, bar their own tweets.

Some of the replies are funny!

That awkward moment when you realize that the Champions League final is also on a saturday. I'd insert a facepalm emoji if this forum had one. Best of luck everyone, I for once wasn't caught out because I took the day off to literally binge watch Game of Thrones, I have 2 last episodes to go. After the final I'll be taking a long holiday away from trading, that's a guarantee.

There is undoubtedly DECAY in this industry, we desperately need a new dawn.
