Yes, we are seeing dodgy information being returned on unmatched bets. We are switching to non API for the moment.

What a stroke of luck - the race was voided because the hare stopped!
Time to buy my lottery ticket I reckon! :)

Seems to be a problem with forum spellchecker, looks like the work skill was replaced with luck?

Good to see the extra work was well worth it! My confidence is sky high for Cheltenham - NOT :!:

Sorry for the un-informative post but lets face it we are all completely and utterly fed up with Betfair's reliability. We know they have a tough task but given the amount of money they are earning you would think the site would be getting more stable, not less!

It's back, for the moment, but my confidence is not. Be careful this afternoon.
