Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[onemichael]

The betfair site keeps coming up and going down looks risky at the moment.

I'm sticking to Betdaq today

[Derek27]

The Betfair site's still not working, no markets being displayed.

Try Google Chrome Derek

Its OK with Firefox too

[Derek27]

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?

[sionascaig]

all good here

[Derek27]

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.

[Dallas]

No issues here either

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?

[Nero Tulip]

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..

yep, same here
