Topic: FAIRLAY - SPORTS BETTING for experts - highest liquidity, provably best odds - page 55. (Read 135598 times)

We resettled a bunch of markets in the Esports category.   Please note:
If you knowingly bet on non-inplay markets after the game started, we might consider this betting fraud and will close the account if it happens several times.
We will also adjust the closing date and void all these bets as soon as we get a notification.



We are going to clear our dispute address shortly. Once it's empty, withdrawals will automatically resume  after 6 hours.  
Everytime our dispute address 1B9UmvQSeRkpAotgZbc7TZTaup7zxrwJ3Y contains at least 10mBTC all withdrawals are automatically halted.

EDIT:  Withdrawals are working again.


  

@Samarkand  - all our focus is on the new site right now.  After that we will look deeper into it.



All withdrawals are currently halted  as someone sent funds to our dispute address.  We will look into the raised issue within the next 24 hours.

I´m glad you are considering it.

This is simply a big problem for small deposits if the bitcoin transaction fee is developing like this:

Placed a bet  Kevin Krawietz vs. Andrej Mart...   2.220   Kevin Krawietz   Yes   19.10   1 hour, 29 minutes   0 minutes

When will it be settled?

I think so, just very slight difference right now. More terrorist attack should favour Corbyn now. Really not much correlation with bitcoin issue.

New UX when 



I find it hard to believe that you would bet without understanding backing/laying decimal odds.

If by primitive you mean usable without needing a tutorial, then yes, they're primitive. You should make your own website fairlay.com more primitive.

Good idea.  We thought about it.  We would have to convert the altcoin to bitcoin and when you exchange currencies there are always fees.  But if you only deposit 10mBTC, these fees would probably be lower than Bitcoin transaction fees right now.  

Anyway, we hope the community will get rid of Core devs like Luke Jr and Greg Maxwell who promote full blocks and high fees.   It's a real pitty that most Core devs have no knowledge of and no feeling for business and economics and are also too arrogant to listen to the most successful business men in the space.  

By limiting the supply for onchain transactions  they also stall the demand for it, because people will use alternatives.  Every drug dealer knows, that you first have to provide a cheap and large supply before you can expect high demand.    The self-righteous  behaviour of Blockstream is hindering the growth of the network and also the amount of transaction fees in the future and therefor the security of Bitcoin.

Lightning network is a good idea and we think it should be tried. But every business man knows, that the path from a good idea to a product that can and will be used by millions is a long and difficult one.   Unfortunately Core devs are horrible entrepeneurs, their Company generates a loss of about 1m per month with no light at the end of the tunnel.  We are again asking all our customers not to trust Core with any economic decisions.

Any plans to add other cryptos aside from BTC?
With the ongoing debates about scaling, blocksize and so on it might be worth thinking
about introducing other means of deposits.

This would also help with the rather high fees that are necessary in order
to make a deposit.

E.g. you are already down a few percent if you deposit like 10 mBTC into
Fairlay, simply due to the current level of BTC transaction fees.
This is not a problem with large deposits, but for small deposits this really
is a problem.

tl;dr: It would probably make sense to add at least another cryptocurrency 

betmoose and bitbet are rather primitive betting sites. Betfair, Betdaq, Smarkets and so on are more serious ones.

Prices are about the same?! @8xbt.com

What is the reason for the price gap between Fairlay and Betfair for the May/Corbyn market? Is it something to do with bitcoin again?

There's no similarity whatsoever between fairlay.com on the one hand and bitbet.us and betmoose.com on the other.

Ok, thanks.  It would be good to rewrite the clause to say this in plain english.  I was looking for the clause, read it, and thought it meant that the bet wouldn't be accepted after its ending date.  English is my first language.

@nrd525   Most markets contain a clause which makes all bets void that were matched after the event happened.

I'm wondering - I think the condition for this market was met (Coindesk API price fell to 2069), and yet it is still trading at around 80%. 
https://fairlay.com/market/bitcoin-to-fall-below-2100-usd-before-august-1/

Is the condition met and people are just ignoring the free money?  Or am I missing something?

Damm, came here to get an idea of what to do, and ask how

Cant find a basic explanation of layout and what different numbers mean

Yes this should of been added a long time ago. I come from a huge experience in trading the markets, binary options, trading cryptos but when I first went to your site, I had no idea what any of the buttons meant.

I know that your site has the general standard for most betting sites but if someone is completely new they have no idea if they are even playing their bets or calculating their odds correctly. Whether they are a market maker or taker.

We are currently working on a newly designed site.  Once it's ready tutorial videos are planned as well.

Hi Guys, can you please reconsider your upcoming fees on deposit and withdrawal? 0.5 mbtc for with a withdrawal is almost 1 $
