Betfair just turned the 16:10 inplay waaaaaaay before the race started then eventually turned it pre-off again and then inplay at the actual off.
Im guessing they are trying to automate the inplay switch with some AI or something. Can't imagine a human messing it up so much and still keeping their job!

The earlier mistake at Beverly seems to have been when the idiot mistook the delayed Leicester starting for Beverly.

Crikey, with this and other IP shenanigans recently, maybe should be reviewing the whole In-Play horse racing angle altogether.... :shock:

You do wonder sometimes just how low tech it is, one guy sat watching split screens pressing the button at the wrong time with hundreds of thousands on the line.
Would it be too much to expect they have some actual tech way of turning it in-play on the action of the starter/stalls opening, particularly the UK and IRE races

First race at Evangeline Downs fails to go IP, winner's still backable at 1.5. ;)

Backed a loser to close trade just before the off so I might be lucky but I'm closing well before the off from now on.

Looks like a losing back bet was voided. With any luck they'll settle the market in time for a Christmas drink!

They must be using pen and paper to reconcile the market - you'd think a US race at this time of night wouldn't take long with a calculator. :roll:

I was wondering why there was so little money in the Warrambool market, until I placed a back bet and couldn't see it, managed to cash out on my phone for a small loss pre, the horse wins of course.

I wouldn't have thought the streaming issue would affect your view of the money in the market (I'd be really worried if it did) but just your view of your own orders. I could see my orders in the market but not on my bets list or on the ladder.

Liquidity was dreadful down under this morning. Besides Mudgee it wasn't worth bothering for me.

At the time of posting this streaming still hasn't been fixed. Perhaps they've all gone to bed for the night. :?

For a moment thought it is the software problem. I place an order and it disappears . But then you visit Bet angel forum to find out that BF is having issues, again......

I don't think they have any clue anything is going on yet.

Looks like my bot survived the issues. Thanks for the heads up guys.
