Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[BetBuddy]

If this was in the USA then Betfair would be seriously find and probably have to go bankrupt.

[PDC]

Betfair have been slow turning the last few races from suspended to inplay. 1530 at Newmarket seemed to take quite a few seconds.

I confirm, it was very slowly. I'm moving my alert status up to amber.

[Emmson]

I don't want any of this nonsense tomorrow when the site will be under considerable stress.

Big lockup there

Screwed, not a clue what my position is

Major outage on cancel orders and place orders.

This forum has a habit of distracting me from trading at just the right time. Hope everybody comes out okay this time.

It did come back but was intermittant.

Yes it came back and I was able to exit my position for a small green as thankfully it was the jumps race and the horse got off to an okay start.

I did have a few orders not submit so had to hope the horse didn't do too well just in case I had ended up with multiple closing lays. Seems to have worked out fine any way.

Sitting back now though before going back in as the site is still showing intermittent issues on order placing.

Same here.

[Derek27]

I'm able to place orders and cancel them.

[Euler]

Status page green and performance seems inline with 'normal' now.

[Yantraman]

thanks for the update there, that was very useful as we went into the big race of the day

[Kafkaesque]

I might be seeing ghosts here, but the two most prominent football matches currently in-play being suspended for a good half an hour has me spoked enough to withdraw for now.

Again might be nothing, but one of later outages did start with football matches suspending iirc, so tread carefully.
