15:30 at Carlisle was turned inplay correctly so it looks like they have solved their problems. But please tread carefully!

i used to work for a large banking software house and the operators used to go up the pub on night shift and bring pints back. one of them once knocked a pint over down the back of the IBM mainframe. :shock:

I had a block of bets placed at 3:00:00 3 seconds later I changed the bet persistance to 'Take SP". The race went off at 3:00:27

I had 1 of the bets voided, King of Thorns - which led before the race was suspended.

Even though there we several unmatched bets which I had changed the persistance to "Take SP".

I have spoken to BF. They say that the other bets were "taken up with the exchange" ????? and that because my bet on KofT was matched after the off time it is voided. I said "hold on I asked to "take SP".
"All change of persistance bets are cancelled/voided"

I should say that the reason for this is "it has to be done manually and it is very time consuming"

How fair is that then?

My confidence / trust in Betfair is at rock bottom.

Full silks not returned on the first race at Doncaster. Just a note so we can keep an eye on things.

Just before this 14:40 race at Stratford I was getting the "this event is now in play" constantly repeated. Then this race the whole thing froze for about 10 seconds :shock:

I was 8 from 8 too so I hope it is not a possible API error!!

Did the API just freeze up for others?
