So no betting today? It should be fixed by now.
My estimate has been five hours now. If the owner wants to avoid scam allegations, he really ought to change to a more reliable host. His site was down on 1/27 and he tweeted about it. It is almost exactly one month later, but no twitter. He should also tweet about it.
Very disappointing. Just when you get to trust a sportsbook, something happens that sweeps that trust away like a fucking dandelion in a leaf blower.
What is perhaps the most frustrating is that the sportsbook owners themselves do not see the importance in the little things that build trust. Such as redundant systems, overlapping services, colocations, twitter, etc.
Five hours!!!! FIVE HOURS... That's 300 minutes; or 18,000 seconds. In an age where a bet is graded in 10 minutes, which is 600 seconds, 300 minutes is just ridiculous. This is the internet age. I would immediately cancel any contract with a host that I had signed, based on an outage such as this, regardless of how it was specified in the contract.
Five... hours... I think you get me.
