I'm getting 02:00 for USA v Paraguay and 05:00 for Mexico v Venezuala (both an hour later than they are actually starting).

Also an hour out for today's England Ghana friendly. Most of the games are fine though.

Anyone else got this problem?

There's something strange going on. I'm getting 00:00 for the USA v Paraguay game and 3:00 for Mexico v Venezuela.

Obviously the clocks went forward on Sunday, so this might have something to do with it.

Sorry Investor, I'm being an idiot.

I was looking at an API app on my laptop which hasn't adjusted to BST yet, (so was an hour behind).

Now I'm getting the correct times for those matches. It's probably something wrong with your program.

Yes Contrarian, it started after the clocks went forward.

The strange thing is:
It's only applicaple to a small number of matches. After reloading the app, some of the times were corrected, which suggests Betfair altered them.

I'll see what happens tomorrow.

Have you noticed less market maker/bot activity in the football markets the last week or two Contrarian?

Yes TI, some matches have been incorrectly timed since the clocks moved, do other countries piss about with the clocks like we do?

I noticed less bot activity the following few days after the major Saturday crash, but it seems to be back to normal now in my markets. There's a lot of obscure matches now though (like the Luanda 5th division womens youth team reserves) where the bots are being held back I guess.

Like Trevh, I think it was only a brief lull in activity following the outages. The last few days, one of my main football market maker competitors is definitely there!
