ok I got through. He said they are reviewing the race and they may rectify it because there were a lot of errors on the race. Becuase I sent an email with a screenshot the guy said they would respond to that. He specifically mentioned they knew Morphetville R1 was a problem.

How do they rectify it though without voiding the race? If they void the race, some arbers will be crushed.

Don't get your hopes up too much, they would have to either void the whole race, very unlikely, or dip into their own pockets to refund people, very unlikely.

Also it would risk setting a precedent. You may get offered a goodwill gesture which doesn't acknowledge any wrong doing, how much you get is at their discretion.

Looks like functionality has returned.
Yes, I haven't seen any issues for a while. How about everyone else?

Safe to go again?

Yeah it creates all kinds of issues, if I was a backer of the fav I'd lose trust in the product altogether if it were voided

Hopefully no one suffered fatal damage.

Let's hope the rest of the day runs smoothly for the big races coming up.

Anyone else noticing the odd activity of bets constantly being submitted and cancelled at lots of prices. Rouge bot?

Because we all suffer from Stockholm Syndrome with Betfair.

At the expected 40%+ rate next month they can say goodbye to me if they insist on charging it. I don't make enough for it to be worth it. Time better spent elsewhere.

I haven't seen any issues now for about an hour. Everyone else still finding it okay?

There is no official word from Betfair on Twitter that it has been fixed but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bother to provide one.
