Matchbook down for anyone else?

[AmazingAmanda]

Been down for 15 minutes on my end....

[Nicky Santoro]

all i know is they better be back up in the next 40 min. there are 2 early afternoon affairs and i dont want to be forced to have to put these plays in elsewhere at 9 cents higher..

[JBC77]

Yeah....down for me. Got my bets in before work though. Amazing.....thats your only out? Need minimum of two books......

[bigboydan]

I'm on it fellas.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Nicky...even if it does come back up, you wont see those 9 cent lower/higher prices. The bets wont be flowing in like usual

[Kaps]

it really sucks when they go down...im open on minn. twins for 4k that i need to cover and cant

[bigboydan]

I just got off the phone with Kashwana and she tells me that the site should be back up and running within the hour. However, I did go on to ask the reason as to why it was down, and when I mentioned if it was a "ddos attack" she did bust out with laughter and didn't denied it at all.

If anyone needs to contact Matchbook at all. Here is there phone number:

Matchbook: 1-877-586-9477

[rake922]

ok

[Santo]

The way it went down would indicate a DDOS, it was lagging really badly then died

[pokernut9999]

A+ book must have out.

[Nicky Santoro]

wooooooooohooooooooooooo back up..wooooooooooohooooooooooo

best price out there was NYY is -117, matchy has it at -110. i just saved 7 cents.. woohooo

[Santo]

It was back up, very breifly indeed, now seems gone again.

[Nicky Santoro]

these f-ckers.. what' wrong with them? i just clicked on the bet and i dont know if it went through. wtf is wrong with this place? I hate this book..

[MrX]

...and right back down again.

Or is it just me?

[Santo]

What's wrong is likely out of their control if it's DDos.

Yes X, right back down again

[ShamsWoof10]

Looks like the SBR tech. guys are moon lighting...

That is why people use more than one book Nicky

Couldn't even get in a play. My eyes miss the pastels.

They should take down all listed offers and when they come back.

The players with offers at stale numbers cannot take offers down and they will all be eaten up the minute the site is back up.

[Kaps]

guys right know there are times where it briefly comes back for about 10-20secs and then goes down

[EddieJones]

Yup. During the world cup I made an easy $100 when germany scored the final goal and the tv was down. Some guy left his wager up there and I was lucky to get $100 of that $$$.. That's why I rarely grovel over a point or two here and there because it's not worth the headache.

They're voiding some stuff:

Dear xxxx,

On July 9, from 11:34 am EST, Matchbook experienced a site outage that made it impossible for many clients to access their accounts and/or manage their offers. This meant that some users (mostly API users or market makers) were able to take advantage of stale offers left on the site by other clients. As a result, Matchbook must void all the trades that did get matched during this asymmetrical outage, in keeping with the market rules posted on our website.

[Kaps]

They're voiding some stuff:

that will be very interesting to see .....if they think they are going to cancel some plays and leave others valid they are fukkin crazy

[Kaps]

just got off the phone with thhem and they are cancelling all matched bets as of 11:34est ...... which of course fukks me

[pilotdog]

when did the say they would be back up?

[Kaps]

they didnt

[Santo]

I think it cancels out my under but leaves my over on the Sox game... Unfortunately I can't get through to anyone to check my net position.

[Kaps]

keep calling ....you will eventually get thru

[EddieJones]

Also, Matchbook would be more amusing if they ID'd the people who put up bets.

[Kaps]

looks like its working check it out

[Santo]

Does the email give inverted positions? It seems to say over where the last current bets screen I had says under and so forth... very messy.

[Kaps]

I have a pretty strong feeling that matchbook will not be up and running till after the bst/minn and nyy/tb games go final
This rule about cancelling all bets made after 11:34est sounds very fishy to me
I have 4k on minn twins and dont even know if it will be valid or not
All I know is if they are waiting for the game to go final to find out it will be a bloody fukkin masaquer

I have a question.. Before you had any idea of an outage would occur, were you trying to scalp? or were you trying to gamble and wager on the Twins?

[Kaps]

i was thinking the line would go down since they lost and i was going to buy it bake at a cheaper price before gametime
i did hedge out so if boston wins i will be fine since i have boston bet at other places then it will be great if they say i have no action but i doubt it

but if the twins come back and win i face the possibility of losing at the other books and not collecting from matchbook
im praying for a boston victory
