There has been only bad or worse days since introduction of skimming bot and premium charge. Zero sympathy from me to those amateurs.

yeah, you mean casinomeister right? I hope the people in charge of the casino have nothing to do with the exchange. Very inept bunch based on their actions in this case. I don't use the casino, so maybe this is an isolated incident.
Utterly insane way of going about things though. |

They are dreaming if they think they are going to find the root cause on a saturday night with only oncall support available.
Another example of how stoopid they have become |

I don't understand why the site is still up, visibly at least. In fact, it has been up for the last two hours although, of course, you can't place a bet. Never known this during an outage before.

Maybe when they turn on the 'tap' from the web page to their servers, they expect it to fall over again, or some intermediate thing is currently deliberately offline, with some guy with a gun to his head sweating buckets trying to find out what's wrong..

Mobile's off as well but betting still going on on the IP Aussie rules match
|
|
By:
Thought they assured everyone that the issue was sorted and was identified as single threading bug?
Have there been any recent updates. Noticed the ip football page looked abit different yesterday |
|
By:
Aussie mkt off now too.
The helpdesk assured me that all IP bets will be cancelled before the site comes back on. |

By:

Site working, but early horse races are suspended. Then they have one open and suspend it later. WTF is going on?
I've never know such a shambles in 15 years of internet betting. |
|
By:
I am still betting--but it says that betting has been suspended?
Perhaps this outage was caused by the cross-selling adverts they've put up on the forums? I feel that the senior management of bf and the operational IT management are not talking to each other. |
|
By:
Now I no longer see a message saying the site is not taking bets.
I have traded on Bottman at Ludlow on purely fundamental reasons but in case something else is going on, I'll keep stakes small. I really don't understand why bf's senior management don't see what works and what doesn't, what conduces to growth and what just alienates the loyal userbase (such of it as is left). Their add-ons are just ekeing out a pitiful amount of growth and keeping some of their employees in a job. They need 1) operational stability and 2) the next major step forward. |

again

Yip, every single match that's in play is suspended absolutely SCREWING anyone with money inplay.
What they hell will be the excuse this time? "In the latest 'upgrade' we forgot to take out test code?" ( |

By:
my guess is that was the "fix" going in
