Paddy Power website always down

Nephew

I opened a paddy power account last week and the website seems to be constantly down for five to ten minute intervals any time I try to use it, logged in or not, which makes using it frustrating and pointless. At first I thought it was my internet connection but all other websites load perfectly when this happens. I even tried it from work and it was the exact same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

No, its never down for me, well maybe once in 3 years when they're updating the whole site.

Only problem i have is with their price changes, when you click a price it should be that and no changing when your confirming (not including the in-running market obviously)

no to be honest i find the site very good, its never down. ya it can be annoying with the price change tho

It had a sticky spell about a month or so back (had to reload a few times) but in my years using it its been very reliable overall.

It seems to load perfectly for my friend too any time I have trouble. I wonder is it something to do with my Irish Broadband connection as I am getting the same sort of ratio of it being down at work as at home and both connections are with IBB. Or it might be a sign to quit while I am ahead.:D

I wish mine was down more often :rolleyes:

All bookies do it :mad:
if you're backing a horse and price moves before you confirm, you are always going to have the changed price.
Not 100% sure you get a higher price though?

It turns out it was a setting in firefox. I have set it to auto detect proxy settings and now its fine.

Can't be any worse than Boylesports. What an absolute mind**** of a website. Luckily I realised they're pretty pathetic with odds so that account is now gone.

Never had any problems with PP in fairness.

.

For sports (dunno about racing), Boyles are one of the most competitive with pricing. While Powers rather use marketing to attract customers rather than competitive price, Boyles often take the least margin out there. Maybe only Bet365 take less.

Really bad a the moment it keeps stalling and right when im trying to bet on the Ftse Markets, oh well i guess its a sign to quit while im ahead and go for a nice long lunch thanks to Paddy Power:D.

Lads it has to be something on your side. Like other people have said here - I've never had this problem and I know plenty of people who use it daily and they don't have this problem either.
