When Betfair fist started they only had the exchange which worked perfectly, now they have added so much crap to the site the exchange seems to be the only thing suffering,

Why don't they put all the other rubbish on another platform/site and run the exchange separately, maybe they won't get any problems that way.

Thank-goodness I did not have any open-position. And, commiseration to those that have. This regular crashes is unacceptable, and I hope someone will initiate legal proceedings against 'Betfair' to recoup financial losses as a result.

These crashes must STOP, and no further excuses could be offered or accepted any longer given its regularity.

As usual when there is a crash, i went over to the purple one as my small bets can usually get on. I thought there was a definite increase in liquidity there compared with previous crashes, so maybe Betfair's poor service is beginning to encourage others to go purple.

these can't be 'crashes'.  been going on for years, if it happened once in business you'd have it sorted asap or someone would be sacked.  this is more 'down for maintenance - exchange only'.
