Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Euler]

I would appear to be having a wild punt on Plumpton. How exciting!

It lost. Got some ground to make up on week.

Thought you used Betdaq as a backup, Peter, what went wrong?

Curiously the market has settled OK there. Not sure what happened for that to occur? I thinking the orders matched somehow.

Anyhow, as illustrated above, you can't really know if things are matched or not. So you can't hedge.

I did trade on Betdaq anyhow and picked up £70.

There seems to be a bet-placement delay, bets popping up a few seconds after you submit them. I've had a few double trades.

Yeah doesn't seem good and there's been reports of problems too, only 2 days after maintenance so I guess it should really be expected

[Derek27]

Betfair P/L page empty!

Edit: it was for a little while.

API outage, be aware

[Dim]

down

[andy28]

Yeah all races suspended in Aussie racing and couldn't load A League matches.

[Wildly]

Not just API. Aus races on Betfair website are showing Suspended.

It’s back

[jamesedwards]

Crash!

[jamesedwards]

Crash!

Back now. The whole thing went down for me for about 5 mins. Exchange, mobile, api, the lot.

That's quite ironic when I just posted a question about the API going down. Perhaps they saw my thread and decided to switch it off for five minutes.

If it helps to track it down I didn't see any issues around that time. Maybe it was your local internet glitching and your mobile didn't auto switch from WiFi to 4g ?
