cost me £315 which is irritating but i was so worried it was going to be worse as i was pretty exposed at the time but luckily most of it got matched up just a little left over that didnt but as i said irritating but i did breathe a sigh of relief when i logged back in.
its not good enough though! disgraceful service from a company thats rapidly going from hero to zero..

Yes i would say it is slightly more reliable,berniebet wrote:Can anyone tell me if the Betdaq site is more reliable, done a hundred on the 3.35 at Nass, and being a novice trader its sending me the wrong signals.
but of cause they have problems too,
I would Use Betfair and have money in Betdaq as a backup,
it's highly unlikely that both will be down at the same time so you should be able to exit your positions.

Race was stopped and will be voided due to an injured horse blocking the course.

This type of event cost me the largest single reward I would ever have achieved on a race. I will sometimes use my form analysis on a race and look for opportunities to be early on any moves. I had two horses of interest in this race and so I had been trading them all day prior to the race along with trades on other runners in the build up to the start. It was one of those occasions where I could only see one of two horses winning the race so I took my trading profit and I backed these horses. This left me with a big payout if I was right and a zero return if I was wrong. The two horses were Zanir and Sir Harry Ormescher and I had backed the latter at double figure prices. I watched the race and even managed to place more bets in running.oddstrader wrote:amazed it doesnt happen more often, with fallersandyfuller wrote:Race was stopped and will be voided due to an injured horse blocking the course.
As they turned for home it was clear that one of these two would win with only Palomar remotely close should one of the front two perish. They jumped the 3rd last and my two were running away with it. I greened up for £2400 and as they approached the 2nd last there were flags being waved and the race was voided
Sadly a stricken horse (and I think rider too) was on the run in so they had to void the race. It was the correct decision but I was rather numb for a few hours!!

Sorry to know that, but more opportunities will come for you, I'm sure!
