When opening the betfair betting assistant today the software gets 'stuck'....'Fetching Australian Markets. Please wait' Im now up to retry 33 and counting.
Ive closed and reopened the software a number of times with the same response.
Gary will probably be able to pinpoint the reason you're having problems but as a temporary workaround I think you can turn off fetch Australian markets in the preferences if you don't use them.
Must have been a problem with Betfair's Australian server. As osknows says you can untick "Include Australian markets" in "Quick pick list / markets" preferences.
The Australian server seems to be working now though so if the problem still occurs try rebooting your PC and router.
