Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[_PP_]

Maybe there was a Denial of Service attack over there, which didn't go through. I read somewhere that this isn't such a rare event whenever there is a big game going on. I believe Pinnacle had recently that issue with the SuperBowl.

Unable to get access to my account area on the web site, FFS.

Just a heads up for anyone who's not at work yet,

The API is still abit dodgy, still some old prices and flashing and freezing, it not unusable yet but may be a sign of things to come

[freddy]

Everything is fine according to betfair
unbelievable

there are a few posts in the Betfair forum now too so it's not just me

[to75ne]

all would appear to be fine here freddy both mode 0 and mode 1 - will keep me eye on this thread just in case

[freddy]

Yep you've missed all the fun,
it's ok now it seems

[Yantraman]

I am have the same issues. Api connection slows right down then speeds up again. Some flashing prices too.

[malcolmk33]

Seems problematic. Whenever I've opened a position, and tried to hedge up or scratch, instead of a single bet, a second bet was fired. I have to scurry to cancel that bet immediately. Does anyone have the same glitch?

[to75ne]

seems i spoke too soon
about 5 mins before the off kelso 14:10 strobing false prices - then a slow down - once in play all ok
