Perhaps they're just victimizing me! I can't remember why but I decided I didn't like Google Chrome.

Did anyone experience a 20-second API freeze where it was impossible to place orders?

Pretty sure it wasn't a connection problem. I redded-up for a one-tick loss when it came back and switched to SP persistence.

Yeah things (place and cancel) broke at around 14:27 for a few seconds.

Thanks for that, roughly around the time that I posted. Thankfully it's been fine since.

Something weird is happening today.

Every now and then a few hundred pounds disappear from my balance, then reappear a few seconds later.

I kept an eye on my open bets list on the Betfair website whenever the balance behaved like it this afternoon: there were never any bets in the market I didn't know of.

Also, I checked recent logins and they all came from known ip addresses

Also, it isn't any of my bots entering orders in the market

Is this happening to anybody else?

Anyone else getting errors placing bets due to their account balance showing as having less than £1 ? Mine is fluctuating between having 42p in available balance and it's usual amount..

Not sure if i've gotten errors but there are much fewer bets being made and balance does seem to be shifting to <10 pounds and back to normal amounts

Seems to be doing the same on both streaming and polling. When balance is the low amount its still allowing bets to be placed as of normal balance but having to exit with individual small stakes

Website seemed to show my balance fine though

Yep, the same is happening to me with Bet Angel.

However, my own software bots, connected to Betfair streaming, are not experiencing the same issue.

Weird.
