Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Alpha322]

I got an open £1200 lay trade on fav.

Lost

Only 1.50 shot though wasn't it? So could have been much worse.

WHY IS THERE NO LAW OF TRADING STANDARDS about these people its RIDICOULOUS

Y, LeTiss pointed that out but I wasn't active at that point. I love the way Betfair say after these crashes 'Everything is fine now' - Never an explanation as to what when so badly wrong.

I'm not disagreeing with you but their systems are so complicated that a technical explanation of what went wrong probably leads to more questions than it does answers.

Trading using back bets against my normal lay positions for a change. As luck would have it all came in! I reckon I may start gambling instead of trading ha ha . If I had been laying like normal I would have been mightly p####d off. Sorry if this was case for others

Should have spotted the signs - historic data kept flashing on the screen. Pitty, was have an OK Wednesday.

[Euler]

Yep, a big down her now. Thanks Betfair!

Switch to mode one, I'm mopping up at the moment.

[stevequal]

I wonder if it's related to the amount of people betting on the United game tonight.

[Euler]

Betfair is banned in Spain

[stevequal]

I recon it's been blown out by that bot that's been hammering the markets today.

[DaffyDuck19]

seems a bit more alive now...treading carefully though!!

[Euler]

Yeah, looks like it could be back. But I'm too nervous to trade now.
