Bit of a joke really. Hope it didn't cost you too much.

I've noticed that the site always works perfectly at the time when they take the premium charge.

i'm sure once Betfairs IT manager completes his NVQ level 2 then things will get a little bit better.

They should be more accountable for the poor service, when it occurs.

If Betfair stopped trying out extra "gimmicks", like the virtual racing which gets 3 figures matched, and the arcade, and instead concentrated on a stable, well run, reliable sports betting exchange then we would have no cause for complaint.

phoned them up in a futile attempt to seek recompense for my haevy loss in the 1-50, but predictably, to no avail.

Surely they could install a wind generator in the football forum that could power place on days like this.

I think the Arcade is prob a goldmine for them to be fair. The Virtual racing though. Oh Dear Oh Dear

I sent an email. I'm seriously unhappy today.

It isn't a case of buyer beware when the site crashes, the minimum I want is a proper explanation.
I don't think they really have 'engineers' working on computers, do they?

tried to back Cameroon about 30 seconds before they scored, arghhhhhhhhh.
Report cdog • January 25, 2010 3:44 PM GMT
I misread that as Cameron and wondered why it was so important to bet on the General Election with 4 months to go :^0
Report Coachbuster • January 25, 2010 3:45 PM GMT
I'm not risking any money until thes site appears stable

lol, if anyone finds me betting on cameron they have my permission to shoot me.

I put a bet on, intending to lay it off, but the site crashed so I have lost my money. I know from previous crashes that I will not get my money back. What a coincidence that it was in the Telegraph today about Betfair appointing bankers about a stock exchange listing, whereby Black and Wray would get hundreds of millions each. You would think they could afford a gesture when their site crashes.

At the same time as the crash I lost my ATR and Racing UK. It seems rather odd that they should crash as well.

That's what happened to me, annie. twice. :(
It always seems to crash right on the off.

Then there was another race wich didn't un-suspend.

My atr was OK though.

I seem to be one of the few who saved money.

I was trying to lay The City Kid at Wolverhampton when the 'Suspend' sign came up, a full 8 minutes before the race.

I waited for what I thought was a withdrawn horse to be taken out of the betting, but the screen stayed on 'suspend' and I couldn't navigate away from it.

The City Kid won at 6/1, it was 10 on here at the time I was trying to lay it.
