Doesn't work

[THEGREAT30]

Connection interrupted.

[Mark Shark]

not for me either

I can't open that IP either, although I can ping it. I've heard reports of matchbook canceling bets when the site is down because people can't log in to change offers, has anyone experienced this?

I've got a ton of bets on there now. I don't mind losing if I was wrong, but I would hate to miss out on a win b/c of someone's technical ineptitude.

[Santo]

First time in a long time for me, but was close to gametime, so could get very messy with what got matched and when..

Last time they cancelled anything that got through after the majority lost access. When that time was is likely to be an issue of contention.

[WileOut]

How long has it been down?

[gm_mets85]

not working for me either.. I hope there are not any weird void bet problems. I made one a while ago but you don't know.

[Santo]

I think it went down about 7.20 or thereabouts, and all the www2/www3 mirrors too.

[ssanders82]

How long has it been down?

~15 minutes as of 4:45 Pacific

[Santo]

I had problems with it before then, started with the browser locking up when the refreshing procedure failed around 7.20, and then couldn't get back in

Here is a live chat session I just had with Christopher:

BBD : when will the website be back up and running?

Christopher : Welcome to Matchbook.com

Christopher : we have not been given a target time as yet

BBD : I take it that it was a DDos attack?

Christopher : We are not sure as yet

Christopher : our technical team is working on everything right now

BBD : No projected time frame when the website and the mirror sites will be back up and running?

Christopher : no time frame at this time

BBD : ok, thank you for your time. cya

Christopher : thank you

[ssanders82]

As a web developer you think I'd be sympathetic because I know all the shit that can go wrong, but when people's money is on the line they need mirrors/failover/redundancy/etc/

[chemist]

Yeah, sucks. I hope my offers were cancelled.

[Santo]

There's one NHL game where I'm not sure what position I have, but they don't have access internally either.

The holding page is back up, so hopefully the rest of the site will be soon.

Last time it cost me a nice chunk, maybe this time I'll be on the right side if some stuff gets cancelled..

[bettilimbroke999]

Great deal, if you lose they stand if you win they cancel your bets, no telling how much money matchbook pockets when they pull this shit

[Santo]

I have no reason to believe that's the case, and would wager large that it isn't. Last time I spoke to players who both benefited and lost out. I think most have a vague idea of their positions, and would have kicked up a fuss if it had been unreasonable.

[bettilimbroke999]

Fukin terrible, a vague idea of what they bet , gotta be kiddin me

[Kaps]

it was roughly 7:20-7:30 est time ....i believe that everything before this will stand and everything after wil not ....any how im on all the time so as soon as it went down i doubt anyone had access to pick off any lines

[durito]

This isn't possible.


It's also the first time it's been down in 3 months.

I take back the sharp compliment I gave you earlier

[durito]

MatchBook is facing technical difficulties, We will be back soon.

Oh no.

[Mudcat]

10000th day in a row? If anyone has been having any problems they haven't been reporting them here.

I haven't had any issues in recent memory until this. I have had all kinds of wagers going through every day like clockwork.

[bettilimbroke999]

Matchbook will be facing technical difficulties as long as we're in business. Thank you for placing wagers that may or may not stand and may or may not have been matched

[Santo]

Look, you've already made it clear you have no idea what you're talking about, so now all you're doing is cluttering the thread for people who actually bet and/or trade.

[bettilimbroke999]

Yea I don't have a clue what I'm talkin about Santo, I don't bet, I'm just mad about matchbook bein down for no reason

[Mark Shark]

Fukin terrible, a vague idea of what they bet , gotta be kiddin me

What is so hard to understand. Not everyone just has straight bets on teams they think will win or cover the line. Some of us have different betting strategies and at times there could be thousand's of dollars out that we need to cover at a later date. Open your eyes or pretty soon you will be broke

[bettilimbroke999]

IQ limit has been placed on this thread, under 10s are banned for 15 mins, Santo can return at 7:40

[Santo]

What amazes me is how long it seems to take to reboot the system, they obviously have web serving back to display that technical problems page. I wonder if it was an internal error rather than a DDOS or similar.

[bettilimbroke999]

Matchbook site sucks, got sites like bookmaker that haven't been down in 5 years, meanwhile matchbook goes a week without goin down for night games and I send em a thank you letter

You apparently missed the entire weekend that bookmaker was down in October. Kind of remarkable given that there were 137 threads about.

I have the under in the Ball St game. They better not cancel this bet on me. Serves me right for not being funded anywhere else right now.
