Ladbrokes plc ("Ladbrokes") one of the world's leading betting and gaming
companies, has today agreed to acquire Global Betting Exchange Alderney
Limited ("GBEA"), the operator of the Betdaq exchange business, for an initial
consideration of Euro30m on a cash free/debt free basis from TBH Limited ("TBH").
In addition, Ladbrokes has agreed to acquire from TBH a 10% stake in TBH
Guernsey Limited ("TBHG"), the technology provider to GBEA, for Euro4m, with a
call option to acquire the remaining shares in TBHG after four years. The
transaction is subject to certain conditions, including certain regulatory
approvals and confirmations. It is expected to complete in late February
2013.

Just tried to log on to Betdaq via the API every market (horse racing) is "Closed".

by **Posse1** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 2:34 pm

by **Posse1** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 2:35 pm

All closed again!

Hi Posse1, it seems to be OK for me.

Hi Drunkenight,

still not working for me.

What is happening is that if I select a race that is next or close to the current time the screen acts normally for a few seconds and then "freezes" with the words "Market Closed" over the odds.

Further away races just appear immediately with the "Market Closed" message across them.

Strange. I have had that a few times before in the past and it normally indicates that there are problems with the Betdaq API. However my BA for Betdaq is worrking fine and I even just checked on another machine and it works fine there also. Have you tried reloading the markets? Rebooting etc.

Just tried your suggestions. No change.

Hi,

Ok you need to be on the latest version which is 1.0.8.8

Here is the download link http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/BA_Betdaq_Assistant/BA_Betdaq.msi

You may need to uninstall the version you have first via Windows Control Panel.

Regards,

Something has gone wrong with Betdaq's API. I need to provide evidence to them as they do not think there is a problem. We should not have had to produce a work around.

by **GaryRussell** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:55 pm

Betdaq have fixed the problem.

by **Posse1** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:11 pm

Hi Garry,

sorry about the delay in getting back to you but the later version has cured the problem.

Thanks again.
