£85, unmatched bet which I intended to lay off before the start, came back to watch the market a minute later and site was not working. Lite site also not working. Tried ringing them to confirm the bet status and unable to get through, in the meantime site is back and the bet was matched and the other team had scored :( What else could I have done? Even if the site is down, BF should have a mechanism to inform of bet status at all times!
We should pay for crap like this?

It is very hard to know what one would have done if the markets had been open, especially on the Newcastle Arsenal game. But I guess I am net up a five figure sum due to the outages, as I was not able to lock in small profits which became big ones due to extraordinary events.
Still a slightly frustrating experience though probably one of my most profitable days ever. |

Nothing, THIS time, but I've been lucky, reviewing the day.
Some form of basic backup portal to allow you to cancel bets and see what's taken would be great though. Like .. a reserve parachute. |

Stoke cost me, couldnt even it up pre kick off, site came back with Sunderland one up which was my worst result. Took the hit and evened it out abit
 if it stayed down for whole game would have been laughing |

I'm sorry to hear that Coach.

Very frustrating Jimmy , normally a loss is part of the furniture and can be blamed on bad choices or bad luck ... it's my fault for keeping faith in the set up after it was 'fixed' the 2nd,3rd and 4th times .
Hope your day was more fruitful  |

My mates dog was 'fixed' - didn't stop it biting you though  |

Anyone know what time it came back up (the first time it went down). I had a lay matched at 13:19, yet I could not get on at 13:15, so did not have the option to cancel or adjust the price. (How is that fair ?)

PHS, it came back right after Carew's equalizer (1-1)

Bound to be winners and loser by the nature of the exchange unless of course Betfair dipped in and took the bets themselves. Even where one did not have any open bets I still normally cover my losses by a lay when my correct score prediction is reached but couldn't do this on eg 2-2 on the Stoke game.
I am only a small fun better but I have had enough - the site can obviously not be trusted. |

PHS, it came back right after Carew's equalizer (1-1) Thanks caramba. Assuming it was a 12:30 KO, goal was after 32min, that would make it 13:02. I tried several times after that time, but could not get on. |

Does anyone know how they came up with bf SPs? Did they just use the weight of 'take SP' bets or were they artifically calculated?
