I've lost between £40 and 400 depending on how much may have been matched after the API went down, I'm assuming I'll be ok and no more will have been matched afterwards but theres just no telling with betfair
IMHO the greedy b*stards should do more to ensure that if the fault is with them, that they compensate the poor sods who get burned by their incompetance! And no, I wasn't involved and didn't get burned! :-)
why are you quoting hgodden from way back when?

Is anyone having any issues authenticating credentials while creating a new api connection? Looks like it started glitching for me from about 10:52am. The problem is still present. I haven't changed anything since before xmas so I find it hard to believe the issue is my end.

No authentication issues showing on https://status.developer.betfair.com/

Back up pretty quick considering it was saying 'major outage'

Just saw on Twitter Mark Iverson (cricket trader) had a near £6,000 loss having been in a £700 green position prior to the outage. Gutting for him. :(

Lost over 3k myself.....My own fault as I carried on in the market after the first crash, turning £1500 green into £3300 red :cry:

Would be fuming if my loss was down too Betfair not cancelling bets during the first outage

Sorry to hear that mcfc, hope you recover your losses soon.

The losses are bad but fortunately don't appear to be disproportionate. I've turned a £7 green into a £60 loss or a £15 green into a £33 loss before without mitigating circumstances, so given this wasn't under your control I hope you feel you got off quite lightly. You're obviously pretty good at controlling your liability vs the upside.
