Saturday Crash

Dont worry, those helpful, well trained staff on the live chat will be able to assist you...

yes fck again

Markets in Bf and Gruss all over the place.

Big c0ck up

Anyone got in touch with the helpdesk to be gaslighted on these issues?

me too

BF do really produce a TOP class service.  Shocking

It’s gone now…….

It's a pity there's NO other exchanges out there.  I would say the majority of us who have been on here for a while would have been gone a long time ago

Fooked yet again

its going to crash sooner or later

Bit worried.
Gruss is slow loading and on bf main site there are "undefined" races in the line up

gruss not even loading.

Classic live chat response - please give me 30-35 minutes to look into this...

Shambles - what is there to say .... endless crap

might be **** 0% commission day
dont fancy having big exposure on here this avo

betquack

shame purple dosent have more liquidity...had to put up wuth this **** for years

It's not hard to do the correct analysis on this failing trend.  The majority of outages happen on a Saturday.  The correlation, root cause, etc cannot be that difficult to understand.  Saturday's will be busier than most other days.  So BF what is your capacity issue?

In a comprehensive update, the Head of Customer Communications has stated that........ He doesn't work on a Saturday (or any other day that ends with a "y").

Do not worry compensation will be awarded for the disruption as they always do being the caring concerned company that they are .Free bets for everyone as soon as its fixed .

This site has been unstable for quite some time now and I suppose they have not got the expertise they once had.  Probably far more interested in their bookmaking activities which yield them far greater profits.

sportsbook and its crappy odds still available.  how convenient

Betfair Help
@BetfairCS
We are aware of the technical issues we are experiencing at the moment on Sportsbook and the Exchange, which are currently being looked into. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I want to back a dog but won't do it on Sports book. Have to leave it now

I presume my unmatched bets just lapse?

typical odds for a football match on the sportsbook............. home 2.8 away 2.5 draw 2.9 daylight robbery

Just asked live chat when issue will be fixed and they replied with a list of my recent withdrawals!

*

For fcks sake I have no idea if I'm matched in the first at Ascot or not.

Is that Sportsbook thing working?

its ok sportsbook will assist

as long as you dont require value

Won't be assisting me

The good news is that they promise to correct the forum clock in 2 weeks time.

Yes loper they told me that last year.

Scheduled Maintenance?

....and did they?

no surprise

They gave me your target date of November 2021.

What a load of old w@ank this site is..........

I refuse to use Sportsbook. The less people that use it the more they will see that the world's not full of compulsive gamblers - oh wait a minute!

We think we've got it bad....there's currently row upon row of people at Ascot sh1tting themselves because of the realisation that they'll have to act as REAL bookmakers...

Will they remember what to do?

I haven't used a bookmaker in over 15 years and won't be starting today.

I blame the tories.

You can still check whether your bets have been matched or not as current matched /unmatched option is still working in my account>my bets.

I'm limited to £5 returns on the sportsbook.
Cheers BF

Betfair cant afford the new energy costs
Hoping the punters will pile in

I find myself torn - Part of me would like to see service restored in time for the snooker - the other part of me hopes the site is down all fecking day and it costs them plenty.

They better hurry up i am starting to panic ffs.

pathetic really but like i said - expected. on a saturday always a chance, on a big saturday even more of a chance. lucky i have no bets on today but have to feel bad for anyone who can't manage their bets. just not good enough

Mind you the way my luck is its probably better it stays fooked.

If BF get the site up and running that doesn't guarantee that it will stay up all day.
Don't take big positions hoping to lay off, imo
Load up other exchanges if you can

DAY OFF.

Do we think it will be sorted before the first at Ascot? Must be odds against I would have thought.

acey deucy. Don't panic. This used to be a peer to peer betting exchange. We are all friends on here. What bet would you like? Someone should fill it. Maybe I'm onto something.

d nevison sat in front of betfair all day might as well go home.

Looking forward to the reasoned apology they offer up on the front page of tomorrows Racing Post if the site is down all day for the supposed best days racing in Britain all year

not a crash. It's paddy taking the exchange down so he can sort all his trading sht out. If it was constantly crashing it would've been fixed years go.

hope all the favs win so the sportsbook gets what it deserves

back just intime for in play, what a shock

Looks like the cleaner (that runs the show at weekends) has finally got in touch with the bloke that knows where the "on-off" switch is located.

First UK race today (1.00 Mkt Rasen) "suspended" with no prices showing

when it comes back it takes 30 minutes for the site to warm up hence the early suspension races

like the valves in the transistor radio have to be lit up?

Were back.

yes like a crap broadband elise we have 2 green lights just waiting for the third to go from red to green

Paddy Power website down for me

Outage Update
Betfair Customer Services 01 Apr 21 18:03 
In the last 36 hours we have experienced some issues that have resulted in downtime of our products. This is not in line with the high standards we hold ourselves accountable to.

The issue was related to a hardware problem which led to network routing problems. These issues are understood and being actively worked on. Should we need to switch out components we will make an announcement regarding scheduled downtime but at this point we do not envisage any more unplanned outages.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience over the last 36 hours.

1.01 Betfair under attack!

this is oslo calling london, come in london, please switch radio to longwave thank you

Can't place any bets on early races. Anyone succeeding?

The issue was related to a hardware problem which led to network routing problems Sure it was!

high standards? betfair in the last year has been down more than jenna jameson in her heyday

First UK race today (1.00 Mkt Rasen) "suspended" with no prices showing
