Good question. In the past when the entire site including the API has been down, and has then come back again later, the charts show the odds have moved about while the entire site was down!

Ask the MD ;)

I have issues with the new load anyway. Ive lost silks and Guardian will not load multiple races.
That's because they run off the api - and that's down to Betfair

My Data request counter is stuck at 20 too. No amount of tinkering with communication settings effect it either...

They are API only services, so those features will return on your next login after betfair fix the API.

Betfair count all non-API calls as twice as 'heavy' as an API call, so you'll have to slow the refresh down to stay inside the 20 calls.

Perhaps pause Guardian and switch off the main window refresh until the counter falls to zero and then gradually switch things back on.

Bots that Move against money of people putting single/real bets into a position of loss quickly and holding it there until they can sell out.
