Yep exactly the same, had to close BA and then reload to get it to work as all the prices were frozen but could still change market e.t.c.

very Strange. mine came back on their own though ( I'm running on an api mode 0, just for reference)

Probably best to stop traded just returned a 500 error on Betfair website.

Just heard, a fuel explosion at a power plant in Gibraltar has caused massive disruption for online betting sites.

I should add, Betfair servers are in Ireland so shouldn't affect.

Anybody see something dodgy on the 15:00?

[walshy]

yes, it turned a £6 green at the off into a £35 red by the end of the race. I had a £41 trade waiting to match just prior to the off of which I changed to take SP.

At the off the trade was matched at SP giving me a £6 green then at some point during the race it matched the trade again at the current in-running odds of which were 816.36 according to my account statement!!!

The horse obviously lost and now I'm left with a £41 Red WTF!!!

-£735

Will have to work hard for the rest of the afternoon to chase down that loss.

It looked to me like the API caching freaking out. I couldn't work out what my net position was so had to cross my fingers and hope. Lost out this time.
