In case this thread hadn't alerted you before, always, always, always, always, always, always, have a spare copy of Bet Angel up in non API mode. Connection mode one.

Even if you only ever use it once it will probably pay for itself.

Just remember not to have it refreshing or else you will get data charges.

We alerted Betfair and they are re-booting the servers.

OK so do you just untick auto refresh, and have it on connection mode 1?

Cheers

Fire up Bet angel, choose connection mode one, select a market and then untick 'auto refresh'. Its also a good idea to load the markets into Guardian and let it auto switch between the markets and then you will always be ready on the right market if anything odd happens.

Looks like we have an another outrage?

We can't log in here or via our servers, which also seem to have stopped responding so we are assuming a major internet issue of some sort.
