does kamara keep saying that then ?

UNBELIEVABLE

Hal, open the pod bay doors

HAL: No I cant open the pod bay doors

Looks like only the football markets suspended

funnily enough sportsbook markets not suspended just exchange

not sure what to do going to sleep or wait for unsuspend?
santa fe have a low price now and not worth backing, anything else to bet?

i know it's sh1t and rubbish odds but use sportsbook? covered my santa fe bet on there

still suspended

i think everyone is sleeping at betfair :lol:
a little strange since only live football matches are not working

has anyone been able to get through to the helpdesk...its constantly engaged

playing with traders money again you betfair you

The in play markets are done for the exchange in Australia during the night. Trying to save money. Skinflints are needing to hire some night staff in UK to take charge. What do our Australian friends know about football? Happens all the time.

I`ve had enough of this. I`m going elsewhere after tonight. Got Palestino @ 3.7 and 1-0 up but can`t lay off.

nothing short of a amateur service. happening so often now its not a coincidence

if you were not all gambling addicts they betfair  would not survive

funnt that the sportsbook markets not affected....

there is a difference between gambling and trading....

oh please raiden77 do
explain the difference

betfair prosper because they have everyone believe they are trading not gambling

The difference is that right now I could take a healthy profit and go to bed. That`s trading. Because they are not supplying a service and there is no in play odds on the football, I can`t and have to sweat it out. That`s gambling. hth.

Trading is when you have control of your own destiny, gambling is when you don`t.

tbf, you are partly right. At the start it`s gambling because there is no certainty that your selection will get in front and allow one to trade.

and thats bollocks because youe would wait fot another 10 seconds or 50 seconds or 500 seconds for the better price and profit and so on and thats gambling - why didnt you cash out b4 u cudnt

betfair have u believe u are not gambling thats why they are on stock exchange making all of their employees and directors lots of money

Because Palestino weren`t winning at the time. They scored in 44th minute and market suspended. I can assure you, I wait zero seconds to trade out when I get in a winning position. Greed beats everybody.

capntin sensible...thats why you are gambler...before each trade you have game plan.. ....entry points and exit points....with anything there is always an element of risk...But the exchange being down isnt one....anyways..Betfair..right fooked me off

betfair wins every time

BF couldn`t care less who wins or who loses. Their money is guaranteed whatever. They are not bookmakers, they are brokers between punters and get their commission whoever wins.

and if their service f**ks up guess what - yep they still win
mug punting gamblers everyone -

f off betunfair

Why you on betfair then C.S. if you don`t trade? Why do you not just bet with bookies?

The Aussies who run the in play betting during the night must be watching Cricket.

bookies take big margin im on betfair because same as everyone on here we have to be somewhere because we are gamblers

and we on betfair because we are not gamblers we are traders - or betfair mugs

Of course we are all gamblers, in fact, compulsive gamblers would be a better description sitting up betting at this time of the morning, but by trading out from a strong position one has a better chance of winning. Palestino are 1-0 right now and 1/10 with bookies. If BF wasn`t suspended, I would be a guaranteed big winner but now I have to sweat it out. If these ***** score I`ll chuck the computer out the window

They just missed a sitter

how the fk can you trade on suspended markets???? fkn wnkrs

its all gambling ye deluded muppets

and would u really trade out - or think max profit dont chuck computer out of window think about big fat betfair directors sleeping soundly making lots of money out of peoples like u

You started the thread Kermit

Of course I would have traded out mate, do you think I`m nuts? This is not good for one`s health.

yeah i did

where did i mention gambling/trading??
some trader you are u

Nearly gave away a last minute penalty there.

take the profit - no wait give it another 60  seconds and then more profit - because im trading or am i gambling or am i confused anyways big fat betfair director smoking cigar and drinking chanpange and big smile on face in big house

Why would you start a thread complaining about suspended in play markets if you weren`t trying to trade?

Captain, the guys who came up with the BF concept are geniuses. A brilliant business idea.

They may have held on and won 1-0 and saved me a right few quid laying off, but I agree with opening poster, it`s a shambles during the night on BF.

at the cost of the poor deluded people who genuinely think they are not gambling but trading and they did not come up with the idea - they were the first to get financial backing to get it developed to to next level - there were several such exchanges when betfair first started

So why do you gamble then Captain if you hate gambling so much? Just curious.

if i wait another 60 seconds before trading out am i trading or gambling thats the question

Gambling/Trading or whatever you want to call it is more addictive than drugs.

If you wait one second, it`s gambling.

i hate the service that betfair give and are allowed to get away with - they get away with it because all of their customers are basically compulsive gamblers and they window dress it as - trading

Anybody that stands to win, let`s say 1k, and his selection drops to 1.1 and he doesn`t trade out is a complete and utter mug. You can knock BF all you like, but BF gives you more chance of winning.

I agree that service is very poor at times and I would agree the majority of customers are compulsive gamblers.

But bookmakers are 100% worse. They will take the shirt of punters backs but close or restrict accounts if you are winning. I tried to get a monkey on a bet last week with one and they offered me £10.

yeh it means you can relax with a profit rather than having to wait until the end. I mainly trade cricket and I use the word trade rather than betting. I trade periods of the game when i feel the bowlers of batsmen are on top. The end result is of no significance to me.
