What a joke!
Just two days before Cheltenham we find ourselves facing another Betfair outage. Not just that, but this is the second day in a row that the site has been offline. This is the worst period for reliability I can remember on Betfair.
Some years ago Betfair used to boast about how many transactions they did per day, but that took a back seat when the focus turned to reducing the load on the system, which no doubt reduced costs also. All high volume users took this on board and adjusted the way they interact with Betfair to help achieve a system that should have been more stable. But we now find ourselves with a system that is clearly struggling to fulfill normal functioning.
Just months after they came to the stock market with a very high valution it must be very embarrasing for Betfair to face such issues. Given the re-appraisal of the market valuation of Betfair, I doubt whether all these recent issues is going to help credibility with new shareholders.
If you want to trade today, it seems the volumes are holding up well on Betdaq so I suggest you head over there if your fingers are itchy, I just had a really good experiance on the feature race at Sandown where the race had matched bet turnover of £1,037,385 at the off.
