We're currently improving our site by carrying out planned maintenance work.

We're working to get the site back for 14:00 GMT.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE ON A SATURDAY AT 1245PM, ARE YOU SERIOUS

LOLZ, they often put that planned maintenance message up. Standard first-Saturday-after-upgrade problems imo.

Not quite sure why they need so many upgrades? They have an amazing number.

Phew!

Back up briefly, laid Sonny G at 4.2 coz it was 4-1 on de rails. Laid some back, stuck with the rest. Win for Sommy would've tilted.

If this stays down past 3pm there are going to be some serious positions from arbers/traders whatever on the horses/football which could wipe out some serious bankrolls.  I find it amazing how betfair just take no responsibility for their f**K ups every time this happens.  Without these full time traders/arbers they have no liquidity in their site with which to make a profit via commission from their regular punters(losers).  They take no risk at all with any of their capital (their punters do) yet they have no responsibility at all any time their software decides not to work.  What a great business model it is with virtual monopoly status.
