Betfair down after first race.

Yep confirmed, can load any markets via the Toy.

[ForeTwo]

Back now but

[Jay28]

back up again now.

[Jay28]

and down again - it's like a yoyo - I'm having problems opening markets, either getting no response or market closed.

[Jay28]

betfair are saying they are having problems with the exchange due to increased traffic due from Cheltenham punters.

[The Geek]

From Betfair....

Navigation is failing across the Exchange, this is affecting the website too.

We're trying to sort this out asap.

[Jay28]

Yeah, last time they told me they would fix exchange problems ASAP, it took 3 hrs on a Saturday afternoon just in time to catch the last race!

[dlrec]

Maybe by monday we get markets to finish loading

If anyone hasn't seen there's a workaround to get a market open, while this shitty API isn't fixed, posted by ThePirate in here

[ForeTwo]

Sticky IP prices today....no excuse of Chelts volume either.

[Caan Berry]

Yeah I mailed BDP earlier when I had a look it locked up.... got an automated response. Their not in today.

It's like blind betting sometimes.. Open position, then API frozes for 15-25 seconds. Then praying time, so market would not go against the money. After 15-25 seconds it's possible to know if praying was successful..

New Betfair slogan- if you're bored of trading- try our new blind betting!
