Curiously I've been unaffected by this outgate. I've no idea why.

But...... my worse ever loss came during an outage on this exact meeting on this day in 2011
Well, If Shaun is right this could be a big payday for you.

seems fine but I am still cautious. have a chrome extension that is refreshing every 10 seconds status page which is flip-flopping from error to normal

Disastrous of a company, I truly hope a competitor comes fast because this is not a way to conduct business.

Betfair Sweden is down, we can’t access markets in bet angel, nor the website.

I seem to be having sporadic issues with bets being taken but not reflecting back on the BA interface
Last one was 2 minutes ago, checked the website and saw it had been taken. Closed BA & re-opened which is now showing in there

I think Monopoly Man might disagree with that one :) I bet he's too busy laughing all the way to the bank.

One way or another, a proper competitor will rise out of nowhere and by the time they run to fix their problems, everyone will be gone. I would have left ages ago if Betdaq had a license to operate here in Sweden. The best solution of course would be if a competent team/person took over the business so that we can keep betangel as it is and not have a need for another software......I guess we will have to wait and see

I think people have been saying that for 10 plus years, word for word even. But hopefully that will swing in the right direction for once, if we give it enough time :)

Best solution is more monopoly? On the fence with that one :) But time will tell.

Hopefully the issues are over, for today at least.

They should be treated like Microsoft, cutted off from the rest of giant monstrosity Betfair has become, all uncertain activity ("cross matching") and ridiculous commissions (pc, pc2 and ect) should be removed, staff should concentrate only on the exchange and customers needs. That's the only way for the exchange to survive and flourish.

As for competitors, they proved their lack of will, their powerlessness. There should be someone new, ambitious and targeted to take bf's place in world of sport exchanges.

:) I was being pragmatic....hoping to save Peter and the team the unnecessary hours of a new design/writing of the software if another competitor comes along.

Let’s wait and see indeed....I am sitting here and not being able to trade, a Saturday wasted. I might move to U.K shortly and change my account if this continue.

Can’t really disagree there.
