    betfair software is a disgrace

    crashing on a day when there aren't any games is absurd . Happens all the time and all you get is we are sorry. Make me sick

    No games?

    There certainly were races on yesterday when they went down ... extremely inconvenient.

    But there is no such thing as a business immune to IT failure. I don't think Betfair has experienced many outages in the last couple of years. There was once a time when they seemed to have more issues.

    Considering the complexity of their business and the volume their software has to handle I think they're as good as any wagering operation I know of.

    they haven't experienced many outages in the last couple of YEARS, this happens every month , last week it happened during the champions league games. I deposited at betfair because pinny's skrill wasn't working so I agree it can happen to anyone, but with betfair it is getting pathetic

    Sorry mate but that's just the way I've observed it. There appear to be far more complaints about Pinnacle's outages and that also coincides with my observations.

    For many of us in Oz, the local corporate cowards are utterly useless. Full of noise but unwilling to take a bet. To get any decent sort of bet down we have to use pinnacle, Betfair, Matchbook or SBO for our sports betting.
