Thanks for letting us know.
Haha, you actually watched exactly the moment one of our market makers where testing some stuff. So you had indeed the option to get a 114% return. But now the odds are normal again.

Fairlay - prediction market/betting exchange - we offer the SAME ODDS and LOWER FEES than betfair
We are a Bitcoin prediction market with the same concept as betting exchanges such as betfair. We have been around since February. It is a hard thing to get a betting market started since you have a "the chicken or the egg" problem. If you do not have enough users then there is not enough liquidity in the market and that results in bad odds -> you don't get new users.
However - with the great interest caused by the world cup we have overcome this level. Additionally, the number of events you can bet on is still very limited with only 'to qualify' bets. I think we can now say that we offer the best odds on the internet with a liquidity that is at least a reasonable.
Have a look at:
https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/sports/
https://www.fairlay.com/predict/latest/ (latest predictions to get a sense of activity)
For those of you who are used to the befair website with lay odds: To make it easier for beginners we have converted all odds to "back odds". So whether you choose "yes" or "no" (lay) the odds will always reflect your possible return.
Most importantly, thanks to Bitcoin we only take a 2% fee of your winnings while betfair starts at 5%.
Some current examples:
Brazil - Colombia (to qualify)
Cloudbet: 1.4 - 2.88
Fairlay: 1.45 - 3.128
Betfair: 1.45 - 3.15

France - Germany (to qualify)
Cloudbet: 2.12 - 1.67
Fairlay: 2.351 - 1.714
Betfair: 2.36 - 1.72

Ps: please add soccer games
Done!
https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/soccer/
Finally, we have a big announcement. We now have a big range of sport events. We got some market maker on board who are offering mostly better odds than e.g. pinnacle sports at a decent liquidity. Finally - we will start this with taking no fee at all on sport events. If you don't use an accout we only take a 0.5mBTC tranaction fee. If you use a account even this fee is waived.

Will you have more events (including live)? When will you end Beta?
On BetBTC.co we have the platform already on live stage with all these and even more features, take a look you won't regret.

No sports but currently maybe even more interesting: we have new events on the latest Bitstamp events:

When will Bitstamp allow Bitcoin withdrawals again?

Uhh - sorry for that bad experience. That was really never our intention.
Indeed people started abusing the free 1mBTC so we decided to make a deposit and a prediction required to cash out.
What is possible: deposit -> place your free 1mBTC on something -> withdrawal
However - we will change the rules in a way that you always can withdrawal the sum you deposited.
So - thank you for making us aware of this problem.

What you may not realize about fairlay
And something you may not actually care about, but anyway, it took me by surprise.
Once you deposit funds into Fairly, you cannot withdraw them unless you make a backed prediction.
Perhaps this is in place to make sure people don't run off with their complimentary 1 mBTC. But there isn't an option to withdraw everything but that amount, either.
I deposited 200 mBTC into Fairlay wanting to look around, get a feel for things, and possibly place a prediction. This morning I decided I didn't want to gamble and was greeted by the surprise that not gambling is not an option. I had to place a bet in order to take what remaining coins I had. Who knows, maybe I'll win, maybe I'll like it and come back... but I'm still put off by there being no option to not gamble.
It's equivalent to walking into a casino, buying chips, then they refuse to cash you out if you decide gambling is a bad idea.
I suggest that Fairlay review this policy and consider changing it. It's possible that this is in the fine print somewhere, or perhaps it's obvious and I overlooked it, but either way, it's not especially fair.

Since the hash rate is dipping this is again an interesting prediction:
https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/difficulty-will-decrease-in-2014/
A very interesting one on the start of the ethereum main net: currently 0.8 BTC in open predictions:
https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/bitcoin/altcoins/
And finally: sports are getting more and more traction: you really might find great odds:

Ive made a good chunk on the difficulty bets. Sadly no one seems to be betting on the next change. I wish there were more users. Go go advertise!!
Hey - yes, indeed we have focused on getting sport events started in the last weeks. But since they start to do well we will again focus on promoting our difficulty events again.

Nice website, love it. Will place my first bets the coming hours 
My first suggestions for accounts:
-At the registration form add a 'repeat password' field.
-Make an option to change your password.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you. We are always kind of annoyed by typing the password twice. If you did it wrong you always have the option to reset it with your email address. This is also the way to change your password - click on "forgot my password" link. Maybe we should add a "normal" forget my password option.
By the way - we added NFL to our sports selection: https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/sports/
