Surely they make lots of money from it. Since if you don't have people trading and closing positions, they'll take more commission from large bets which either win big or lose big.

Facebook,you tube,twitter and all the other global sites with much higher volumes of traffic dont have this many outages in a year combined.

With the millions BF are making its not rocket science or too much to ask for them to address this once and for all.

I hit my exposure limit earlier because of this problem of bets not appearing then re-placing them.

Now that they've frozen the systems, it looks like my exposure is slowly ticking down again, so they must be reverting some of those duplicate bets I think.

What a mess!

Betfair Helpdesk : Any unmatched bets would be cancelled on volatile markets.

What the hell do they mean by volatile markets? I have about 2k unmatched on Arsenal and Chelsea. I asked for those games especially and they say it will depend on the time the site is back up.

I'd keep a close eye on your bets just incase.

You can ring them up and cancel unmatched bets I think.
