Betfair Site Outage 16-Jul-2011

Postby MarkRussell » Sat Jul 16, 2011 4:41 pm

Betfair have made the following statement:-

This afternoon we had a problem on the sports exchange where markets were not loading. In accordance with our Customer Charter, a decision was made to disable ALL betting, which was implemented at 15:50:51 BST. Our technical teams resolved the issue, and betting was re - enabled at 16:04:09 Below is our process cancelling bets during an outage.

Will my bets be cancelled?
We will now cancel unmatched bets in the following instances:
* Unmatched bets on markets which are In-Play at any time during an outage.
* Bets which, when an outage ends, are unmatched on horse and greyhound races that are due to take place within the next 20 minutes; also, financial markets bets which are unmatched at the start of an outage. These markets are included because they are particularly volatile and are subject to notable odds fluctuations.
* Bets which, at the moment betting is disabled, are unmatched on outright winner markets where there may be material price changes due to related In-Play events. For example, a tennis tournament winner market when a tournament semi-final is taking place at the time an outage begins.

What is new with BetFair anyway right? They are always down and it has something to do with either system maintenance or technical issues on their end. Do they offer refunds if cases do happen?

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
