I'm primarily an automation trader, so I'm not on the ball as much as some of you guys, but for what it's worth I've seen nothing out of sorts, the many times I've many manual checks today.

I'm slightly on edge after a couple of market suspensions within two minutes. Perhaps they're getting ready for tomorrow. ;)

2 Cricket World Cup games that overlap, the Epsom Derby card and a Champions League final....tomorrow the site will be under considerable stress. :!:

Heads up, I was just contacted by Betfair who let me know they are doing a bit of maintenance early hours UK time, 1AM. Site may disconnect briefly.

Thanks Peter, don't know why they're so secretive about it. No mention of it on twitter!

Haven't notice any break in connection with the API. I hope they've finished whatever they're doing - perhaps a rehearsal dealing with tomorrow's outage.

Pleased to see there was no outage, hopefully that means it went OK. Fingers crossed for today, such a big day.

If they fuck up today then they will have serious problems. I have already been stung once by their outages. For me I now use Saturdays as training day in simulation.

I'm expecting to carry large liabilities on a number of sports today, so a cock up today would be catastrophic for them.

IMHO 'fingers crossed' shouldn't come into it! Betfair - like any other business - should be providing a product that is fit for purpose; after all, isn't that what we pay our commission for? If it isn't fit for purpose - service keeps going down for instance - then surely, they should compensate their customers?

Betdaq down - but they'll still claim they haven't been down for 500+ days
