Do we know what country they are all in?

Down about 2 hours for me....weird

WSEX hosts Matchbook...both are in Antigua....VIP is in the Netherlands....SIA is in Canada....

I think it's generally a light night....all major games are in progress and NBA starts tomorrow so maybe a good night for server upgrades.

I hope so, but you would think they would do it after MNF. I was hoping to get a 2h bet in.

no site in their right mind would schedule upgrades for during a monday night football game.

Also, I have never seen the site down in the 5 years I have been using it.

mgcolby · 10-25-10, 09:07 PM

Its back up!

andybord · 10-25-10, 09:08 PM

Back up now just in time for halftime lines....probably was planned.

andybord · 10-25-10, 09:08 PM

they don't do in play wagering and every game for tonight is in progress, so it makes sense.

Not really. You never know what is going to happen when you do upgrades/maintenance, so you never do during business hours. Why? No half time bet because the site was down again.

Yeah, that sucked.....I was gonna go big on the G men 2nd half too...couldn't get through on the 800 number....

You cant call in wagers at vip

Books should do software upgrades and schedule downtime in the offseason. I can only imagine how much money they lose by pulling these stunts.
