Fcuking C*nts OPEN UP

Don't worry, there'll be an apology, and maybe no commission, although we will all have lost money so no danger there.

Grade A ****s

this is frustrative

not even a fking betfair rep who tells us what's the matter

Betting on Red Star v Orleans still open ... or Juve, take your pick ;-)

Bloody useless bunch BF are.

had 2 winning bets bets voided cos they dont know how long the games last, now cant trade on an any uq lay on the santos game, getting p i s s e d of with the quality of service, if my staff were as bad as this lot they would be down the road.

but they manage to keep the scores updated ... comical.

The money matched in the market I'm watching decreased at one stage. Den Haag v Vitesse

And that's the hard part, all they need is a fcuking clock or stopwatch for the other bit

as they voided my bets

Bet365 also suspended. This ain't Betfair's immediate fault.

Is this a betfair issue or a problem at the company that supplies the feeds? I'd guess the second if Bet365 is also affected. You might all be blaming BF when it isn't their fault...

its a shame they are using the same feeds

laddies have gone in suspend mode as well.

It would be nice to hear from Betfair though

tennis is still ok

Yeah I'm fairly sure it's Betradar they both use, but still pisses me off how much Betfair can't handle the games weekin-weekout, they're a joke

The strange thing is some of the games suspended in football Iam still watching them Spanish French Belgian ???????

how come the Real Madrid game is not suspended ???

Njaah, all they say is customer is responsible for knowing the rules before placing bets. All the markets were probably unmanaged. Or maybe. At least mo goals have been scored, no red carsd or penalties rewarded. Or if there were, the markets have been suspended right on time. That's what you usually get if contact the "customer service"

why cant they handle the games that are currently showing on BETFAIR VIDEO

Spent all day today looking forward to the 2nd half of Belgian Pro League (Where I make a good chunk of cash most weeks). Completely pissed off

Allmost all inplay footbal is suspended for trade. while the games are still on. Cannot green out my bets

I had a bet in every game and due to all the suspends i thought i had goals everywhere.

What I want to know is how is Red Star versus Orleans still in-play?

has anyone called bf?

the Real Madrid game is not suspended

Any reaction from betfair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a bit strange there is absolutely no comment from Betfair on this.

RM game not been suspended at all that I've seen.

runningball problem maybe?

can't agree about streams. psv game suspended for 20 mins despite betfair video playing the whole time!! cost me a few quid in unmatched bets!!!

You might be in luck Scott

Not playing in any games tonight but feel for all those stuck in costly postions out of their control...

Not even a message on Twitter. Except a Michael Vaughan tip on the cricket.

They can't rely on a video. They need someone at the game to update them. For that they use Betradar but obviously Betradar are having problems hence the situation. Even still it's unprofessional in my opinion. This is a risky business gambling, and things like this happening should be near illegal

A million players on Betfair platform according to their marketing Are we the only players with these **** experience, or are all these other players stop
betiing on Betfair

What is going on? Looks like every exchange if affected but nobody is coming out & saying anything?

If we all just agreed to move to Bet Daq..

Thougt Betfair was a  24/7 operation

Do they REALLY have someone at every game? Someone paid to go the icelandic womens 3rd division reserves? (They really do have some madly obscure games inplay these days!). I suppose they could have a smartphone app with like 4 buttons on it, kick off, suspend, unsuspend or something, and be paid in commision waving ...

disappointing yes

I think someone said it correct earlier. These betting companies are outsourcing the data collection

looks like they have made me some this time zeze, but would much rather have traded and moved on earlier.

You are learning how fragile it is for an exchange trader on BF to survive.
I had to leave Australia because in-play Internet betting is banned there. I went to Europe and had a good few years before the new tax regime meant that Betfair pulled the plug in Germany. In the meantime I started getting hit with that fecking permium Charge. Now I`ve had to move on again and live in Croatia.
This is not a sob story but an instruction to be careful and not rely on BF to make you your $$.

In-Play matches going down are the least of your worries if you want to make this site pay..

I'm well pissed off anyway. And I haven't technically lost any money apart from opportunity cost, I can only imagine how people who lost money are feeling...

Not heard of proxies?

But if he'd e.g. stayed in oz and used a proxy, was this just a crafty workaround OR doing considered locally as "wrong"?

Any country that makes cycle helmets mandatory clearly has a messed up control freak legal system...

Not heard of proxies?

Loads of Aussie punters who started betting all the time in-play on AFL and Tennis whilst on "permanent holiday" had their accounts shut down by BF.
Plenty of naive Germans thought they could pull the same stunt after the ban by giving BF the address of their auntie in Austria and use a VPN Tunnel or similar.
I would struggle to earn as I am accustomed if my BF account were closed so I aint going to do anything stupid. You underestimate how seriously BF take these things esp. Germany where they would have serious tax liabilities should German based bettors use the exchange.

okay, i give my respect to any pros moving or not

Face it, given the frequency of fck ups by betfair in the past 12 months, they must assume that those who are still here will put up with any sh1t.

On the plus side maybe property and beer is cheaper in croatia? :)

A pint in the pub here costs $2 property cheap too but the girls aren_`t..

The point I was making was that the whole thing is a fragile existence that could go down anytime. Take nothing for granted - nothing at all.
If you can trade 2nd div. Belgian football for a profit then great but don`t count on it continuing & don`t rely on BF as it seems you are..GL

Exactly RAPS. The people on here with steady jobs during this recession who talk about throwing it in to go full time as they've been making a bit of a profit for a while need their heads examined. Sooooo many variables.

Maybe Chris Huhnes "4th career" will be Betfair Trader?

RAPS, how are you living in Croatia, as in, are you on some sort of visa ?

There are several reasons why I´ve ended up in Croatia.
1.) I have a 5 y.o daughter growing up in Germany and there are direct flkights daily
2.)As a Namibian citizen with an Australian Passport there were no other countries around here that would give me a visa of more than three months without an awful lot of effort.
It is so much easier for Europeans If they see anything African you are fcked!
But it worked out - I have a one year visa but had to prove no criminal record + sufficient funds in order to get it.
why?

Ahh ok I'd have presumed you were one of these ozzies that can get UK passports and Croatia is in Europe, so easier for them?

Just curious, I'm an Australian living in the UK, was wondering how an Australian-passport holder moves to Croatia

Nah mate - no way I could ever get a UK Passport unless I marry an "English Rose" (Code for FAT but reasonable FACE).

Even most "real Aussies" would have s struggle to live permanently in Europe as a nichteuropear

johndemer

It`s pretty simple to get a rolling 12 month visa as long as you can show that you have no criminal record. They wanted to see "sufficient funds" to finance myself during the stay but I noticed afterwards that the Bank Statement I provided had a negative balance so that probably aint so important....

I see Croatia is joining the EU properly this year, I'd have though the visa requirements would knd of get standardised?

Just Checking,

1.) joining the EU is by no means certain because one country may hold out(Slovenia)and one (1) veto is enough to kill it.
2.) Even if they were to join that wouldn`t help me personally because if you have a passport from a non-european country you are handicapped anyway. eg. When I lived in Stuttgart I went to Glasgow with a party of VfB Stuttgart fans to see the CL game against Celtic. All my VfB german mates waltzed through customs but I had to stay and answer a half-dozen q`s before being let in.(much to their amusement..)

I'm afraid that's kind of what I meant, it might make things harder for you not easier.

Yes the controls have the "EU" door and the "non EU" door, just way it is I'm afraid.

But it works both ways, you should've seen the Oz guys react when I tried to take that Koala home in my hand luggage

You shoulda seen the time I tried to smuggle that Aboriginie out-nightmare

Don`t worry we got him in the circus eventually..

sh!t might get banned for thatr..

Joke

RAPS? You trying to get us (well the naive ones anyway) into believing you are travelling the world in order to get Betfair access? You insulting the Uk birds because you can't get one to marry you. No one so dim would be able to make a living off Betfair...Quit the BS mate

yeah I`m just full of sh!t.

I pay all this Premium Charge just for the the fun of it.

Let me guess, you have no idea what Premium Charge is do you ?

give me an example of how much a premium charge is? i dont pay it like most people on here.

oh and lads, djock v Del Pot aint suspended...

I leave it in the hands of the reader to decide whom to believe.



ps. Those with genuine q`s eg. Visa,Trading or otherwise can PM me

Visa? Visa? I only use Masterkoala :P
