An attempted software upgrade caused the site to collapse three times on Friday, before the final decision to close trading for a 90-minute period.

“The site was slowing down and crashing so we decided to take it down in the afternoon and then bring it back up after racing, and the site went back to what it was before the upgrade,” commented a Betfair\’s spokesman.
