Betfair going wrong (again)

by **GaryRussell** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 3:17 pm

Sorry, I wasn't able to respond earlier. There wouldn't have been anything we could do anyway. If the program suddenly fails it is more than likely an API problem as after you are logged in you are connected directly to Betfair's API server. Problems with our site would not affect you.

Here we go again!

Betfair say it's fixed but api still unreliable at 16:13

by **doris_day** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 4:14 pm

And they have the cheek to charge people for API use.

I found this on the Betangel website - I had been referred to the blog by a UK betting tips about something totally unrelated to betting software.

Found this by Peter Webb who posted this today

"Unfortunately Betfair suffered another outage this afternoon. Here is how I am set up to deal with such issues: -

I always have two version of Bet Angel running. One in API mode and one, with the refresh off, in non API mode (Log in via connection mode 1).

This means I can switch quickly between applications and if I am caught on one I can exit on another. We note that a site crash seems to happen in stages and having two bites of the cherry to exit works well. The site often comes back up in stages also, so it works well in either direction. This feature is worth the subscription to Bet Angel on it’s own!

In case the crash is at my end I have a back system, an iPad linked to Bet Angel via a VPS. This covers all bases in case of a catastrophic power or connection failure.

Of course you also have Betdaq that you can trade on. The liquidity on Betdaq is higher than ever at the moment and strategies that I use on one exchange tend to transplant well to the other. So whether you use Betdaq to hedge or trade outright its more viable than ever nowadays.

The connection mode feature on Bet Angel is a really useful feature in moments like today. So make sure you are familiar with it."

Does Gruss have this?

Sorry, Betting Assistant does not have a non API mode.

Peter Webb,

Still managed to have his biggest loss on Betfair losing thousands according to his "Twitter" account.

Their support said it was never down. It was just sooooo slow. Someone said it is not stable. Works good to me. It has been stable now for a few days.

Cheers!
