Y, looks like it's back now.

I just need 4 goals in the 2nd half now for a big win

It will be cancelled if you win, but valid if you lose.

Back up for me.

Bets I had open on the 18:30 Southwell were not taken.

Yep mine neither and back up

It will be cancelled if you win, but valid if you lose.

lol, yeah, it always works in their favour dunnit.

tbh it's the Bochum v Nurnberg game and the away dog is winning by a goal so, u never know, I'll trade it out if it goes green though.

My concern is that it comes back, my bets get matched instantly due to time decay (OU footy markets). This would leave most of my bank exposed, only 1 is matched so only a small exposure so far.

Luckily it looks like it's back now (to some degree) while typing this and they have suspended the market with all unmatched bets gone, so just the small exposure, whch i can deal with if they don't bring the market back online before the match finishes. <fingers crossed>

I used to use something that put in repeated cancel orders on condition that any unmatched bets remain, but prices/volume had not moved for X period. This way it should at least cancel all positions when API returns, hopefully limiting any damage.
