betfair api working ?

[UselessBettor]

Im getting errors with the betfair API . Anyone else having issues with their bots ?

About 10 minutes ago there was a message on their site advising there were problems and to try later. I assume it's only a matter of time?

Looks like a 30min outage. Should be finished in the next 15mins hopefully.

Yay.

Its amazing how many of us notice it straight away and we are all annoyed. I missed 2 races I wanted to be on and both would have been profitable.... oh well. back to it again.

It can take massive amounts of money to make money using it. Eventually you get stung by something like betfair down and you can lose all your profits.

I've also seen different rules between betfair and the bookies and these sometimes cause an issue too. keep an eye out for it.

I just made a small fortune on Betfew. Not in my account yet though, and its pounds to pennies they'll null and void the transaction.

Luckily I've never actually had a loss when an issue like this with betfair comes up. If and when it does, in the grand scheme of things it won't make any sort of significant dent which is good!

I wonder if that good thing was Crumpet O'Reilly in Ascot 6. A perfect race, $1.70 Fav, 2nd Fav $12 ??
