Jerky, sticky API???

beginning to creek a bit yes. occasional large spikes, chepstow was slow IR.

same here

Yes been getting worse over the last hour.

as above...set on 0.2 and spikes around 1300 occasionally

FKUCKIN ORRIBLE TODAY

Its getting worse race by race, by this rate will of fallen over in a few races

same here

getting worse here

that was terrible
getting worse and worse each race

Oh dear.....

Gowran unusable - It's gonna blow.................

like treacle, ffs!

3000ms response time rip-off..

we can only hope they sort this before the national

biggest embarrassment yet, national day!!

It's just gone no offers in the "will Betfair crash pre-National" market

after years of problems on a saturday , you would like to think they could find the problem, or invest to solve it

they won't want to even acknowledge it on today of all days......don't think the "looks like we're having problems" bollox will do today

im seeing the main site slow as well not just the api

as predicted they are too embarrassed to admit it

After the National when their chimp presses the settle button, just hope you aren't trying to place a bet at the same time.

still no acknowledgement....collective backbone of a jellyfish!

well that was complete filth
doesnt look good for national

same old same old...

Yes, same here, thought it was my old PC

lost my balance now as well..fooking muppetts

Just rang them to say are they aware the API is awful today.................sorry the what Sir........I said The API is awful

Sorry sir what is The API not sure what that is

Dear God

Creaking

look calm down lads, you're acting like it's the biggest betting day of the year or something

i wonder if i call the IT dept ****s they will notice

they probably think the API is something to do with Mccoy

TRD Racing,
Have you cleared your cookies?

that was even worse for me

16,775 response time...

fecking joke...it's as good as dead...refresh rate 11000ms

Response time 30,000ms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not phucking 3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RT do you work on the helpdesk

Totally knackered for that last race.

a million here rodge

Completely seized up now - TRD - that doesn't surprise me -they are totally clueless.

She's gonna blow kepten......

Gone?

Think RT must have been having a laugh

lmao. took 14 secs to place a bet on a race not even in running

Taking me around 25 seconds to get a bet in the market, god help anyone betting in play

wonder what adverts the bookies will be using in the papers this time?

going, going, gone.

55 seconds to get a market to load

fecking embarrassing shower of shoite

been like this since 2.50 pm still dont know whether my double was on, abso joke of a site

bf have made the national a 'watch only race'
amazing scenes

gruss slow as fkc

I would fail the interview for Betfair. I don't know how to speak thieving Chimpanzee.

forum is working, all's good

11-1 on exchanges says ruk

yeah that was 5 mins ago the price you are looking at now

With hindsight I think they were being ironic with their "sharp minds" tagline

last action lay King Of Oriel..time taken 9285 ms

20% for this

what offer will be big enough compensation for this one?

108000ms...beat that

10 free spins all round

A total disgrace

Well, this is awkward.

The site is pretty busy at the moment, so we can sometimes struggle to update our bet results page. We've got a crack team of tech ninjas working on the problem right now, so suggest you check back in an hour or so.

first time Ive seen this.

If ever you needed proof that this joke outfit aren't fit for purpose then today was emphatically it.

a crack team of tech ninjas

they've got to be taking the pi55 with that!!

crackheads more like

I think they mean a team of numpties on crack!!

gruss trader working great

Gruss refused to load markets 30 secs before the off 

worked fine here during national

no more for me, this is really taking the piss, im betting at baldies sportsbook bet was placed screen froze found out 50 minutes later bet was on, of course bet lost, not happy at all, idiotsssssssssssssssssss

coming up to the off for the GN [last ~8 mins] was a complete joke all traders trying to get out of their position punters not being able to bet etc. a complete mess
software wouldnt have made any difference it was betfairs problem whole site was down/slow etc.

shutthefrontdoor matched £50 @ 1000 at 'in-play take SP' for some unlucky trader(s) (and everything inbetween...)
total average was BSP 28.1

i suspect just after the off it the load/incoming requests for betfair wouldve dramatically decreased and thats when their servers were responding again


sad day today for many really, im thankful i was on a stable runner and started exiting my position just before the lag came into play, not sure what to think

they cant cope with too many people placing bets, biggest day of the year and they fail yet again, cmon betda

Its the equivalent to the national grid going down every time too many people put the kettle on. Introduce premium charge and then spend approximately 10 pence on upgrading equipment. About time another company sprung up and offered some actual market competition to Betfair because they get away with absolute murder. Shambles, Joke, Comedic, Ridiculous, Tedious, Repetitive, Boring.

Exactly so....WHY ON EARTH DOES HILLS, LADS, ETC NOT MAKE A MOVE!

gruss trader working great Laugh


you sneeeeeeky fuuuk I forgot this
u is correct

I shudder to think how many people lost their entire banks being unable to trade out....Zero compensation from betfair most likely

"Congratulations to those lucky enough to have picked a winner! We'll be working through bet settlement as quickly as possible."

Betfair helpdesk statement on Twitter. LOOOOOOOOL

Should be "...luck enough to get an actual bet on...."

in case you weren't aware, the purple had no issues

Great.....one person was ok. Crisis over. All complaints null and void.

purple had no issues but even betfair servers would have been able to cope with one player!...well, probably!

very slow indeed

are you really that naive to assume liquidity on the purp is so poor on the grand national?
they handled millions of £ on this and they settled it swiftly

don't be such an elitist

Elitist? Hardly.

Just would like a product to work on the biggest jumps race day of the year.

Do you work for Betfair?

Till next week then...

...till next year then...

...we will all be still here...

Well, this is awkward.

I am sure we'll do better next year
