it not a sport bet: but currently excellent odds:
https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/next-difficulty-31b/

bet against difficulty >31B at odds of 3.5. Note that from the current difficulty data odds should be more like 2. (50%/50%)

great odds, looking good, I'm trying..

thanks!

We are thinking about building and API for our site that would make it possible to "invest" in sportbets/ be the house. It would take the odds from e.g. betfair.com and investors could choose to place this odds automatically on fairlay (with a spread they choose) That would a) help us - since we get more liquid markets and b) would be profitable with very little effort for investors. In the end it would be like an investment at: https://just-dice.com/

Is there any interest for this?

All of the sports bets you currently have are props for who will win such and such a tournament/cup etc (unless I'm misunderstanding something which could totally be the case).

Yes - that was right. But now we add daily more sport event.
Right now we have 13 open events and we will add at least 2 per day this week.

The volume is very low but you can be sure: if you place a open bet with realistic odds we will try to write about it and get you a match. Since it is obv. in our interest to get things running...

If you click on a event you get the decimal odds. (we can add american soon).

What do you mean with "individual games"? Anything specific?

one more example for significant better odds on Fairlay then on betfair:

right now it is extremely attractive to bet against Germany!! The odds are now 1.49!! With more then 1100 mBTC open!

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/germany-will-win-the-football-world-cup/

Ad betfair you get odds of 1,37 for the same bet (lay odds of 3,7)

well - our statement was that the odds are more or less the same. In some they have better - in some we. (always the fat ones) However - if you include the lower fee we can beat them on all these examples.

We started a thread collecting current bets where we really beat the betfair odds significant:

@ctlaltdefeat

Ok - we deployed at least one of your requested features: You now will find a list of all open predictions (click on "show additional information")

BTW.: have a look at the Germany odds: https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/france-will-reach-the-next-round-against-germany/
You wouldn't find these anywhere else...

@arieq

We stared at least a very little "bonus": If you sign up you get 1mBTC for your first prediction.

Good luck to you, looks good. Lots of similar sites opening recently. I like that your advertising is focused on the meat and potatoes (margin, volume) and not miscellaneous bonuses and stuff.
However, I'd really like for you to use standard football lines (you don't have to offer the full extent that betfair offers, but standard FT 1x2 lines are a must, these "to qualify" lines are rarely relevant throughout the season) and also use the standard terminology (back, lay, outcomes labeled by team names or 1x2 rather than "yes/no"). In the future, you could perhaps have a sports section that makes it simpler to bet on sports rather than the "catch-all" interface you have now.
Additionally I'd like to be able to see how much is matched/unmatched on each different outcome at each different odds, betfair style, and not just in total.

Thanks for your suggestions. Your impression is right - our interface was not designed for people who do sport betting all day. In user test we found out that new people are really confused of for example lay odds of 4. What they wanted to know is what odds they get (1.333) and not what they give the other site.

Another example is, that "normal" people are confused if they bet on "Germany will win" and then we say them - your bet did not win because Germany did not win after 90 minutes.

So - in our opinion - for sport books pros it is way easier to figure out how our site works then the other way round for newcomers.

The way we want to attract the pros is purely by exceptional odds and low fees.

However, we are always willing to add features. We already implemented the feature you suggested regarding the overview of all open bets on our testserver: http://188.165.246.217/predict/registered/new/brazil-will-win-the-football-world-cup/
and then click on: "show additional stats" We will deploy it on the real server soon.

Wow cool, and thanks for the fast response

I just hope that as next season approaches sportsbook functionality gets worked on.
