This may become a moot point, if they decide to scratch the concept altogether, but automation seemed to stop for the last hour. At 3AM here in mainland Europe (2AM UK time) when the clocks jumped back to 2AM (1AM UK), the automation froze showing "last update" 02:59:59 with the time actually being 01:59:59.
Once the hour passed it kicked back on.
My understanding is the BA runs with the computer's clock , so I found it a strange one. Any ideas why this happened?

Cheers for that. The thread seems to be more about Betfair not being able to sort start times, which wasn't the issue here. Instead of BF it was Bet Angel and more specifically Guardian that didn't seem to handle the time switch.
You will probably find that the markets populated in Bet Angel were on the old time or something like that? I ran some stuff overnight but didn't note what had or hadn't happened. They seemed to do pretty well, so I wonder if many people got knocked out by DST.Kafkaesque wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 2:11 amThis may become a moot point, if they decide to scratch the concept altogether, but automation seemed to stop for the last hour.

I hate putting the clocks back, dark at 16:30, depressing.
Guardian loads times from BF.Kafkaesque wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:38 pmCheers for that. The thread seems to be more about Betfair not being able to sort start times, which wasn't the issue here.

No, the event starting times were fine. It was BA's clock that went sideways, not following the computer's clock for whatever reason.Euler wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 7:46 pmYou will probably find that the markets populated in Bet Angel were on the old time or something like that?
