Can I suggest that this thread be made a sticky?

Betfair down, just before 15:00

[superfrank]

what a time to crash... 2.59 on a Saturday afternoon!

[freddy]

jUST before all the 3:00pm kick offs

grrrrr

[Euler]

Perfectly timed so everybody had maximum exposure. Remarkably I have got away with no open positions at all this time.

[LeTiss]

I've got £1850 still open on footy bets

[to75ne]

i dont know how exposed i am. had quite few trades spread around when it went down, no idea what is nmatched. / plus cant get through on the phone. feck it/

fav won, still dont know if i have more lays matched than backs. oh dear

[Euler]

I have my fingers crossed for you.

[frankclake]

Only a couple of hundred exposure, holding my breath!

Very annoying though!!!!

[Krzysztof]

I got an open £1200 lay trade on fav.

[jimrobo]

according to touch.betfair I have £200 exposure with the upside being on the fave. Whether thats true to what the actual position though I have no idea. I had quite alot of unmatched on both sides of the favourite. First outage for a while though?? Not that that makes it any worse. Its a nightmare situation for all

[mcfc1981]

if its any help to anyone just before the crash i had backs took at 1.55 on fav then just before the off it came back online and the market seemed to take sp and took my 1.54 lay,
so id say the price stayed between 1.54 and 1.55

Terrible timing with the footy about to start. I've been very lucky. I've moved over to Betdaq.
