Wankers! Site maintenance, I had tennis automation running and can't even check my position. I see on Twitter they gave ten minutes' notice!
You'd be better off looking at Betfair announcements than Twitter. It wasn't 10 mins it was 5 days.

Do you have a link for the Betfair announcements?

If a close relative of mine dies I'd expect to be informed rather than scanning the death page of a newspaper every day to see who's died. ;)

I normally finish trading before 4:00 so didn't take any notice but now that my tennis automation is taking off, with delayed starts, I'll have to start setting up alerts.

Wankers if they run maintenance, wankers if they don't 🤷‍♂️

Complaining to complain at this point

They won't be wankers if they gave proper notice of their planned maintenance, they should be emailing all customers like they do with responsible gambling. I would still have been unaware for the reasons given in the previous post but I'd be calling myself a wanker, not Betfair. :)

Yep, ideally they'd deliver the news on a silk cushion. Set up a weekly alarm on you phone to check it, it won't take longer to do than a rant about Tescos. I can understand how part-timers wouldn't know but it's part of the job isn't it? Same with reading #betfair-news.

I had told you about the Betfair forum you can sign up to which sends you an email for exactly this thing a few months ago:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25924&p=314237#p314237

Not sure what else you want them to do really.

I've done that ten minutes after you posted about it. Haven't received an email since.

Edit: I see now, I need to subscribe to the thread. :oops: :lol:

Never seen it in horse racing but they occasionally have test football matches, usually Test1 v Test2, but you never find out who won. :)
