I've noticed you can get some pretty big moves before the off on these matches.

Aussie API is a total shambles this morning. Almost unusable.

You can make Bet Angel tolerant of the errors by using the connection tuner in the comms settings. This will stop Bet Angel timing out a call. You need to push the tuner to the right. The current problem is that some of the round trips and taking so long that it's still timing out. But it's better than no call at all.

TBH I wouldn't use it at the moment.

Can't believe it's taking Betfair so long to sort these problems out. Bet placement is a complete lottery. Agree that it's pretty much unusable at the moment, which is so frustrating in the middle of a T-20 tournament which is great for trading under the right circumstances.

It's getting worse not better, total shambles.
Peter, you get huge moves depending on who wins the toss and what they choose to do.

Many thanks to Euler by the way for taking such pains to monitor the situation. If only the staff at Betfair were so conscientious

No problem. We can get up early each day to monitor it, even if Betfair can't.

There are actually a few of us doing this to try and push Betfair to a solution so credit to all the team.

Setting refresh to one second and connection tuner to 20 seems to produce the most consistent response. You will still get timeouts but it's better than nothing if you dare to trade.

It does feel like it's teetering on a full blown crash.

Seems to be ok for now, touch wood.
Will try it using smaller stakes.

its unbelievable the faith the market put in some players (Glenn maxwell)

[fuzzer54]

He had a great start to the IPL earlier this year, but since then has been very hit and miss - more miss than hit.

There is some excellent value to be had at times in this competition.

Why no Pietersen today?

[tomallen123]

Think he's spending christmas back in the UK with his family.
API was usable for 45 mins but struggling again now, just as it could get interesting

[tomallen123]

This is the make or break over imo.
Edit: 17th Over

[fuzzer54]

Break it is then

or perhaps not
