could unmatched bets in the market get taken by SP if they resolve the 1440? I could get burned here
Surely you have a betdaq back up for this situation. Ive covered myself... all in all probably going to lose maybe £2/3 max...

I stood to loose a few hundred if Rockpoint went in at Exeter, fortunately he got beat and I've made a nice profit from Betfair's failure this time. Hope the rest of you are OK.

I've been barred for the Betfair Sportsbook, but if you're allowed to use it, it has the advantage of letting you bet directly from your Betfair funds.

We are still looking into the technical issue. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. We will keep you updated every 15 minutes. There is no ETA at the moment unfortunately.

Got stung by this one for a half a stake on the fav in 14:40 Exeter. How often does this happen?

Have and old Betdaq account think I will be funding it now.

I manged to trade the 14:40 so seems suspension occurred at different times for different people. Call me paranoid but is it a coincidence this happens just after £84 was matched at 999/1?

Could you actually trade the race right up until the off ?

Most wont both for the first few markets or will ease themselves back in while keeping a close eye on things, but with only a few afternoon ones left there wont be much point even if it come back online now

They had a bit of time a year or two ago, where it happened several times over a relatively short space of time. Been a good while since they went down last, though.

It doesn't happen very often now, but that's not much comfort to you and other traders who've been bitten by the outage.
