How do betfair create lag on your account

are you using gruss, betangel or similar?

using bet angel with the site...I like to use both

has it got a bet transaction?  how longs it taken bets to hit the cistern?

taking 20 seconds to place a bet

has to be your device/internet

Revisapreracer2

can't be my device/internet - only happens in the last 10-15 minutes before the off time of each race

crash ?

every race, every day, slooooowed down

try different browser.

tried different browsers...they all end up slowing down

what is the free ram on your device?

loads of free ram, its all timed to coincide with the race time....everything works fine in the lead up to the race but as it gets closer to the off time the lag starts, whilst the other races remain lag-free

Is your computer scalping all the data and unable to cope
with the increased volume of bets?

If you place bets manually with other software
switched off are you still slowed down placing bets.

Might help find out what's happening to you.

Task manager see whats eating it...

only happening to revs it seams..

taking 20 seconds to place a bet
-----------------

Come on - revs - Betfair would probably have to have the capacity of GCHQ - to pick out, and SLOW Down individual Accounts - and ...

Just what BENEFIT would that be to BETFAIR, anyway ? ..... A Totally Irrational assumption, surely.

I appreciate that you have checked your RAM - Tried different Browsers etc - But it is surely something on your  Computer/Tablet(s) or whatever.

Who is your ISP (internet Service Provider)? - Do you live in a Rural Area?  - or Tower Block of Flats Sharing Internet Access, or something?

The issue (which I find hard to accept can exist as a Betfair induced action) - seemingly, affecting just you - (Solely, in such an  extensive Individual and Isolated scenario) - has the hallmarks of an ISP transmission issue.

Try/DO a 'Speed Test' 

This one returns the Results more immediately than most others - and completes within the 20 seconds - suggested...

You predominately want the 2nd Reading - the UPload Speed

Try the 'Speed Test'  -  when things are Normal - THEN ...

The - Next time when you have a "20 second delay" - Have a spare Browser Window open, with that Sped Test page open on it and ready - and immediately DO a Speed Test THEN .... and compare (with the normal activity Speed Test).

One other thing - You haven't got some sort of unnecessary set-up on your Systems like -
2 Firewalls open at the same time - 2 or Multiple Anti-Virus Programs - such as Norton, McAfee, MalwareBites 'Live Protection' etc running - ALONGSIDE the built-in Windows Defender (which is all that you need).

Although, that being said - If you do have such a Dual or multiple situation - it would likely SLOW down your System much more of the time, on Download too.

Have the same problem, it is betfair specific, interactions with other bookie sites and sites in general completely unaffected.

System usage, cpu/ram remains normal throughout these episodes as does internet speed d/u and latency etc which are occur solely at betfair peak usage times.

Right now for example the US horse markets close to the off are absolutely fine. Come lunchtime tomorrow the problem will be present once more.

This is using the regular betfair site no third party interface, tried multiple browsers, no joy.

Obviously not wilful but a problem exists.

Lux,also been having this problem for several months, as you say works better in the evening but shortly after logging in early afternoon gets slower and slower, sometimes shutting everything down clearing cookies etc logging back in helps for a while before it then starts to get slower again.
Iam only using a fairly basic chromebook, but its worked fine on betfair for years up until recently and still works fine on all other sites.

only happening to revs it seams..

seams not .... 

Betfair would probably have to have the capacity of GCHQ - to pick out, and SLOW Down individual Accounts

nonsense, can easily flag certain accounts & allocate treatment accordingly

I get the problem too where it slows sometimes to a halt but I think too intermittent, in my case, to be targeted.

I been getting this a lot recently too.

Starts off ok, then by about mid afternoon after a few races computer grinds to a halt, and everything starts to freeze up and lock, betfair becomes unusable.

The racing post website used to have the same effect, so I stopped using that at same time, but it’s still happening. Seems to be the betfair site that causes the problems.


As mentioned above, the only cure I have found at present is constantly closing and reopening, clearing cookies etc. that helps for a bit, until it inevitably grinds to a halt again. This is mainly on Firefox. Changing from windows 10 to 11 made no difference either, possibly even making things worse.

If they do indeed target certain accounts which ones would betfair most like to limit the use of and why?

its almost certainly not targeted, the site is working as it should right now for me, but when it gets busier  from early afternoon until early evening this is when it gets slower and at times almost unusable.

press windows key + R type temp, then delete all files

I don’t think it’s targeted either.

I had put it down to a computer problem my end, though seems like plenty of others are having issues too.

For me everything is ok for a bit, then stuff like graphs won’t open, can’t change market, nothing updates, then computer becomes totally unresponsive and just freezes/locks.

When it unlocks, or task manager finally works, close down betfair and everything works again.

Could it be something to do with the software some people use on the site?

It could be sparrow. I have software running at same time as betfair website.

But have done for years without any problem.

I’ve also noticed it happening when I’ve just had betfair webpage open, no software.

Works for a while, slowly grinds to a halt, then makes PC unusable.

Also website seems better if using apple, but does still lag from time to time.

Definitely worse on windows though.

why dont you all use gruss?  for 17p a day its value.

Does Betfair only have "room" for 10 customers to be on line at once so if number 11 logs on, it grinds to a halt? See how tech savvy I am.

I've got a very old computer and to get it working quick I have to clear history/cookies etc each day before racing and then it's fine for the afternoon.  But would likely need action again if I kept playing evenings.

Always surprises me how many on here do not clear cookies and history every day they finish as it only takes a minute.

vei worked with dozens on tracks/office last 20yrs..non done any maintainence on their device and rarely did they have any probs untill the dust around the processor/PSU caused it to overheat...

Today slowed down for 2 races hard to get bet on then went back to normal, happens to myself everyday but only slows now and again.Wif is perfect always clear history etc, its got to be the site.

I've had similar problems with it slowing close to the off but never 20 seconds. I've always put it down to caching of data and the fact Betfair's servers are under a much greater load nearer the off. Probelm I have is more like stuttering with the odds, noticeable  but certainly not 20 seconds

why dont you all use gruss?  for 17p a day its value.

I do use Gruss, Dangle, but even with that it'll freeze momentarily every so often when streaming. Plus I've a decent spec'd PC

Yes - Ghetto Joe - "momentarily" - happens for everybody - myself included - as it does from time to time on all websites ...

racingpost.com - being  a website that can have 'a mind of it's own' at varying times, and almost every day.

However - "momentarily" - is a mile away from revs - continual, "20 seconds to place a bet" claim - along with some others - far too frequent, claims.

amazing how many times during the "20 seconds to place a bet" scenario the price will disappear, not in your favour obv.  £40 at 11 please.

20 seconds later, nah.  it's 9.8 now.  Soz.

think you should change your name to cuck23

I'm clearly not the only one experiencing this..betfair have ignored my concerns so I'm left to investigate this myself.  For the people experiencing this issue, do you generate profits each month on the whole?  Be honest, nobody is here to judge.  Do you use/have you ever used Bet Angel?  Only by eliminating possibilities can I start to uncover whats going on.

use GRUSS....Ffs

17p a day.

in-running is rare on my account - no edge here for me

Especially
On20seconddelay

maybe my 20 seconds was a little excessive, I'll time the lag with a stopwatch next time

i've timed it at 8 - if you check back i've documented this on here (and been pilloried for it, maybe not so much now that others are appearing from the woodwork )

cuck23 has been asked to video all the nasty things that betfair do to him, but strangely never comes up with the goods.

it would appear other people are starting to notice what cuck23's been noticing.

that's not good news for padi.

just video the goings on and ask the CEO what he thinks about it. Not difficult.

Maybe it's just their new safer gambling strategy,  stop losing accounts from getting on.

does padi want anyone, other than himself, locking in a guaranteed profit ? 

he sees you locking in profits he's going to take steps to stop you

he's not running a fkng charity

If you were winning anything worthwhile, you'd be paying PC on it, and he would be getting a considerably larger slice of the pie than he currently does.  So yes, he does want you to lock in a guaranteed profit.

if ewe were paying PC ewe wudnt be here betting pre race.
