Betfair down?

[King_Suckerman]

Wow, what a disappointment... their apology is to give 100% commission cashback on selected markets. And these include only 3 soccer plays... some horses and some cricket. Way to go betfair. What a BS apology. Why not do the whole UEFA schedule for this week at least. Oh no... that would be too much money out of their coffers.

Better than nothing

I wasnt expecting anything, as they havent offered anything the last times they have had an unscheduled outage. So I am positively surprised.

Betfair offering anything for that downtime shows how good book it is.

Yes, one of the worst days ever there.

yah right that's why i decided to went away with that bookie then turn to other site

Seems like there a far too many glitzy changes and additions which are slowing the site down for everyone or crashing it, rather than concentrate on their core business of being the best betting exchange available.

I agree with that. I think it's not only a problem of Betfair. Every bookie tries to make his website more "interesting" by using flash elements or something else, which slows down the speed of the website. In the past the websites were clearer than today. And all this "skill" games, casino. Who's using this? I don't think so many users need this additions.

Using technology of any description carries with it some risk.
Shit happens.
Get used to it.
If you don't like it don't do it.

Hmm.......you normally post really useful & helpful information hareeba, albeit plenty of posts defending betfair but not the sort of crass pointless comment like that, any moron on this site can come out with that sort of trash statement, you are better than that so dont sink to that level.

nah. it's just the pragmatic way to look at it.
just forget the problem and move on. prodding on it will not prolong your life.

all I'm trying to say is that you have to expect the occasional unforseen problem - just part of life

no point in trying to blame someone and expect to be compensated every time something breaks down and inconveniences you

If I recall correctly, those games were/are a significant portion of Betfair's revenue.

I agree totally Santo. They are giving up commission on some very large events this week. It will cost them a bit for sure.
