Boo, d70ejk. Can you email bdp@betfair.com your username ... hopefully it will help them pinpoint the problem. Cheltenhams going to be a nightmare as it is currently.

From Betfair

Unfortunately, we experienced an external network interruption at ~1655 that would have caused the freeze that a number of customers would have experienced. The root cause of the interruption is currently being investigated.



Apologies to all customers who were affected by this issue.

According to BDP there was an external problem at the time.

[Caan Berry]

We know what caused this and are aware that this affected a number of customers. The freezes were due an external network interruption at ~1655. The root cause of the network interruption is currently being investigated.

Apologies to you and all of the other customers that were affected by this issue.

Pfft - Common sense is screaming Betdaq more and more by the day. How they can consistently have these issues and think a quick sorry cuts it i don't know.

[ROTIVNICK]

Me too. In live is very risky, I will stop making trade.

I have huge api-spikes up to 6000 every 30-60-120 seconds and then 1-2 minutes ok.
