Sites down on Grand National Day

[ONEDUNME]

Who's gonna go down?

They should do a book on it

My guess would be Betfred as they don't do technology.

Betfred was the 1st thing I thought of when I saw the title. I have actually stopped trying to get a bet on with them on any saturday.

I'd advise anyone not to back with them on the grand national today anyway as they are one of the tight bastards offering only 4 places.

Blue square was the first site I found down. It's still down an hour later.

They are actually offering five places but that's fuck all use if you can't get in to use them.

I hear the sound of pound coins dripping away from them by the minute.

Betfred grinds to a halr for me on a normal Saturday so God help it today.

Yeah I see BlueSq has been down for best part of an hour.

Heads will be....

thinking exactly the same here , i've given them a miss following their consistant crash every saturday ,
betfred is the only bookies in my home town , walked passed this morning to get my paper , the "miserable" tellers looked even worse than usual , shop was rather quiet at 10 o'clock

Betfair seemed to die on my comp at around 3:30

To be honest mate, I never even touched betfair on Saturday.

I thought that the chances of it not crashing with all the weight of bets it takes was pretty slim (especially in running) even though they have a pretty good incentive to give it their best shot with every bet pocketing them commission.

Seems Totesport officially won/lost on GN day

It seems betfred may be paying attention at last!
