If you can I would advise watching Todays Sunday Forum on ATR - not sure if it is repeated later but if not I think they show it online. They had a guy from Betfair on the phone talking about the move offshore and the outage.

Just tried trading the first race at Perry Barr. Everything looked ok but couldn't place a trade.

The reason was YET more top communication from Betfair :!:

At 11.14 they posted this on the Service Page of their forum:

We are rolling out the final part of the solution to yesterday's problems that means we need to suspend bet taking for a few minutes - so it will be paused from 11.15-11.20 GMT. After this, trading will resume as usual.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Nothing like giving you a minutes notice is there!

That might explain why Betdaq has much more matched at the moment.

Just got a update on the Betfair twitter feed I follow on my smartphone saying that:

As a business we are now looking at all measures to restore customers faith. More to follow today

Why not stick it in your bank account - why let Betfair earn interest on it?
