Betphoenix is down

[sjm5122]

Ha, nobody is crying. And i don't think I would be as angry had this been a rare occurrence. But their server has been down so much in the past couple months it's unacceptable. As much as I like their site I am considering moving my money.

[betphoenix]

Redundancy changes have been made, and server info packs are purging at this time. It should stabilize shortly. Again, this is not maintenance, the ISP pipe was closed by our provider with really no notice. We have made the switch to a CR Inet provider at this time. However, servers will be purging stored info from lost calls and info packets that were in que for awhile so it will be choppy for a bit longer.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well then, unexpected shit happens. Shouldn't have that maintenance message on the front page though. Just technical difficulties would suffice for me. In any case, thanks for the updates.

[jebe99]

SBR, please downgrade this book!!!

[biggamer3]

BetPhx is a top book, i am not worried one bit

[jebe99]

Now when you call their #, it says number has been changed, disconnected, or no longer in service. F**k this book.
Now it's costed me 5K because of this shi*t

[jebe99]

When a book has so much problems with it's site, It's not a top book.

When these things happen, we need to pressure sports forums to downgrade them.

It's the only way to force them to run a good book.

I put in 30+ hours this week for today's games and I coulnd't get 5 plays in , and guess what, they were all winners.

Being in the IT industry, I understand that sometimes, unplanned events occur. I have been trying to get action in all day, but have only been successful in a couple of small time windows this afternoon. This is not good.

With uptime being so important to a business like this, a company like Betphoenix should have a disaster recovery plan in place (i.e. a plan for when a DoS attack occurs, a plan for when a server explodes, a plan for when a hurricane/earthquake hits, a plan for when the ISP shuts you down, etc.......)

As a customer, I really think Betphoenix has come a long way, but events like this remind me that they are still newbies.

By the way Betphoenix, I would be happy to discuss the disaster recovery plan with you and help you set it up. A little project on the side never hurt anyone.

if you are really betting 1000 $ per game then you should really have more than one out....

[soxwin1917]

if you are really betting 1000 $ per game then you should really have more than one out....

EXACTLY. If BP is your only out, then I highly doubt you're anything more than a recreational gambler.

My main book is Matchbook, but I use BP for their 2nd half bets. MB doesn't offer 2nd Halves on college baskets.

[BigDaddy]

very upset that they were down today.

i don't even care about the internet part its the phone part that has me pissed off.

[xdanx]

Does anybody have a phone # to place wager? I was able to get a hold of somebody then he gave me some bogus # to call. Now the phone rings once then I got disconnected.

[j-e-t-s jets]

wager on live chat

[tblues2005]

Big Daddy. I remember when Bet Jamaica had problems online and I did not have any problems over the phone at all. These guys needs to get their act together so if they have problems online then they could handle the phone calls. I am very disappointed with them and they should give us something for our trouble. This is a pain!

wager on live chat

How do you access live chat?

I've been calling for last hour or so, no luck.

Guess I'm gonna have to transfer the funds to 5 dimes.

Just have to deal with Mgr. Tony Williams and his attitude.

Over the years there's been some issues with other books, but never like this.

[Dark Horse]

The site now has a message that says

We are giving maintenance to our servers. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kudos to the guy who suggested that.

I'm not too concerned at this point. But I would like to know if this was a DDoS attack, if only because a college football Saturday isn't the most logical time for scheduled maintenance.

Good point. Dumb to put that statement. Could be an attack....can't see what else. Like I said above- they took live chat wagers ALL DAY....no idea why the 2 ladies above keep getting their panties in a bunch

[xdanx]

Betphoenix is a joke. They can't even take wager through the phone. This is ****en ridiculous. I called numerous times today and finally got a hold of somebody, ask for my username and password then hung up on me. It's going to piss me off even more if my stanford game hits tonight.

agree

i don't bitch when sites go down as its not hard to phone bets in but when sites go down and phones


then WTF!

i have placed over most likely a 1000 bets at phoenix and all for good amounts and

betjam was a book that got some of my action today.

they at least give me loyalty free plays i have had 76 of them for $200 average

i know i'm sick.

[tblues2005]

Yes I agree big Daddy. I am so glad to have an account with them also. I have never had a problem with them at all. I am just sick also that I could not get much in from Bet Phoenix also today. I am glad I made my main bets last night now. I did get a couple of bets in this morning. I just think that they do need to say hey here something for your trouble for Saturday which you may have won for. At least they could do that for us since their phones were down also. That is all I ask for.

[peeiempee]

Finally got through with them on the phone. Not too disappointed with this book. Customer service is always good, I been with them for 2 months. This was the only time when their site was down, and I place numerous wagers throughout the day. It better be up and running by tomorrow though.

[jebe99]

TBlue, sounds like you know where I'm coming from.

Just have to laugh this one off.

Thanks, and GL to you.

Like Lem Banker said(was it him?), there's are games 365 days a year. So, on to tomorrow.

That is why I have multiple accounts. Just in case something like this happens. Good Luck to you also. In the Bet Jamaica pick 15 so far I am 7 and 1. I have two more tonight with Kentucky plus points and Sanford minus points. If both of them hit and I have a decent day tomorrow on my picks I could be in for a huge week.

[jebe99]

Wow, TBlue, your games are looking good.

I'm not much of a football guy, but pretty good at basketball, esp. on half bets.

I too had a decent week, so I'll just laugh off this fiasco with Phoenix and have a couple of beers.

[bettilimbroke999]

Is BetPhoenix gonna be back up in time for the Super Bowl?

[dante1]

I'm done with this book and mania, both of them down. Like the customer service but this is bull shit. And this isn't the first time, they have been having this problem for months now.

[Stumpage]

I've logged in to BetPhoenix...I repeat, after a day long struggle I have accessed the site and have begun wagering.

[mtneer1212]

Until I have some assurances that this won't happen again, I cannot reasonably place any additional money with BetPhoenix, BetMania, or Wagerchief.
