Yep, 3pm k/o's have been ok. Am fully automated with it I just like to keep an eye if something is open

This is because they automate the footy stuff using sport radar. If that fails the whole thing does. They used to have peopel watching the matches in the old days.

Glad I checked here to see what’s going on. Fairly new to this and haven’t had my automation running during at outage (that I know of). How would it work if it tried to place a bet using BA during this time? Will it sit and then get actioned when the exchange comes back to life or be discarded?

Would it not be handy if rather than sending Safer bloody gambling emails they just sent a polite remind "Hey just to remind you the site will be unavailable ..."
