Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

Purrrrrleeeeeeeeze!! On today of all days!

API untradable.

[danum]

very sticky for me, a bit like saturday's used to be in the run up to the football starting. Nice start on the first race though, winner matched at 1000 for small amounts...

[hgodden]

Like trading in slow motion

[to75ne]

Trading in treacle, how nostalgic.

[SpikeyBob]

I just placed a back bet which took over a minute to appear on the ladder!!!

I canceled it immediately as there is no guarantee that if I tried to offset it that the lay would be matched.

I hope this improves, as it is well dodgy to trade atm .

[to75ne]

switched to mode one. no lagging, no sticking. mode zero more or less frozen.

[hgodden]

mode one is no better for me

[Bet Angel]

We are trading on mode one without anywhere near the same issues as the API. We have both open so we can switch and monitor both. That's our suggestion to all users.

[to75ne]

im getting response times of approx 80ish and 100ish. i am getting some phantom amounts appearing/disappearing. other than, ok.

bets being taken with no delay.

[SpikeyBob]

Connection 1 is better than 0 for me. Nowhere near as laggy and orders appear in the ladder a lot quicker. Still not great, but a lot better than 0.

[PeterLe]

Yea agree with that...switched mine to Mode 1...seems fine..

[jimrobo]

is it me or as it just suddenly got better like someone flicked the api on switch??

[andyfuller]

Yes seems as though Mr Black popped a quid in the meter

[to75ne]

agree seems mode zero is more or less back. not confident it will "stay", so still keeping both modes up.

[SpikeyBob]

Agreed, just traded the 14:05 on mode 0 and it was fine.
