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.

back up

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.

Yep. Betfair had a biggggg issue a few weeks ago one night. I backed a horse for $1k and couldn't get my lay bet on!

Another reason why the back with bookies lay with betfair (arbitrage) can lose.

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.
