"Suspended live updates unavailable"

[RyanWolf]

Anyone with an idea why since few good months Betfair started losing feed for couple of seconds/minutes in football? Guess must be feed providers as I randomly check games suspended and other soft bookies got them suspended as well same time. Weird to me, I would expect that feed providers will deliver more and more reliable stuff, cant see a reason why more and more games are being suspended due to lack of coverage Pretty annoying if you trade inplay...

There's a network of scouts that are run predominantly by one company, and if the scouts don't turn up or the technology fails, it tends to take everybody offline.

I guess if this is still done manually, the geezer on the Barcelona v Newcastle game isn't getting paid tonight.
