Is anyone trading this?
The Aussie API seems to have crashed again, so this will be the 2nd match that's become untradeable.

Yep. Some brilliant swings and we're missing out on all of them. Will count my blessings though as I could easily have been caught on the wrong end of a trade before being able to get out on the normal site.

Luckily I had nothing in the market when it froze.

Have sent BF some more emails. Hopefully they will take another look, because whatever they did yesterday certainly hasn't come close to solving the problems.

They must be losing quite a bit of liqudity - and profits - so you would think they might treat it as an urgent problem.

I'm refreshing market, seems very gappy and obviously lacking liquidity.
Very frustrating!

Yeah, will go in using lower stakes and use website as backup.

I'm quitting while I'm ahead. Annoyed... Was really set to cash in big time.

Betfair say it was caused by a 'server outage' apparently. So should be ok now.

API didn't last long.

:? Hmmm. Got to consider API as part of an exit strategy at the moment.

Betfair Australian API a total disaster for me again this morning.

In summary...

BBL Match started at 08.25
API Glitchy at 08.45
Crashed around 10.00
Back-up at 10.25
Crashed again at 10.42
Back at 11.05.....


Totally unusable. It's disturbingly worrying that Betfair would even consider launching these API changes without (what would seem) significant amounts of testing.

The Big Bash League is now in full swing, the World Cup being held in Aus/NZ is around the corner, and despite their assurances you have to doubt whether they're going to be able to fix these issues anytime soon.

How can anyone contemplate entering a market with such instability?

Please Betfair, throw as many resources at this as possible!

I've spoken to one of the directors today and they are going to throw the kitchen sink at it. Let's hope that solves the issue.
