Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[andyfuller]

It sounds like you are doing something wrong mate. I suspect you are not submitting the change to a keep bet.

Hi Guys

Sorry to hear about the problems today.

Quick question -

If the b/f API goes down, does this mean that the stop loss fails to kick in?

[andyfuller]

Not 100% sure but pretty sure it wouldn't work as when the api/site go down no bets can be matched. But best you check with Support I guess.

[Bet Angel]

There is no provision to stop a positon once the site goes down. Bet Angel only runs locally so if it can't reference the Betfair database there is no way of tracking or executing a stop. Curiously, Betdaq have built in a facilty to allow bets to voided if a connection is lost.

[Jimmy]

Sorry if this is a daft question but, Why does Betdaq have a .com and .co.uk site and you can't login into both only the one you sign up with.?? Also are all the markets linked in .com/.co.uk versions.?

Cheers

Jimmy

Anyone else seeing slow responses - or just me?

[to75ne]

ok here at the moment.

[SpikeyBob]

Seems OK to me.

[Lambretta]

It does seem a bit gluey...

[CaerMyrddin]

Everything ok here, but in the first race lost the matched volumes on the ladder for a few moments...

[Jimmy]

No problems for me. Everything running great.

[andyfuller]

Seems that the website went offline for about 30 seconds just now - it looks as though it wasn't just me as people have reported it on the BF forum as well, also BA in mode 1 stopped responding but the API software was fine.

[to75ne]

it can only mean its gonna go wonking, maybe not this evening;
i reckons 2/1 but, i reckon 1/2 tomorrow afternoon within the first 5 races.

[andyfuller]

I am certain it wasn't running correctly all afternoon - I like to watch the responses like a hawk and something was certainly not correct today - as you say, don't be surprised if it goes down between now and the end of the weekend.

[to75ne]

seriously andy i expect it to crash/slug up.
