*Also for a horse Racing idea - add the "place" & "show" categories on each race that is offered with the ability to back/lay each selection.
This would be extra work for your market makers but I can tell you for sure that this along with the soccer idea will really ramp up volume.
Happy Holidays

@fairlaysupport: one suggestion that I think will be very advantageous is to encourage your market makers to offer live "Lay bets" against the standard 3 moneyline selections in soccer as well as half time lay bets against these 3 selections. You currently have this available pregame but not live.
If you are able to pull this off I can honestly see your volume sky rocket - because right now you can only do this on direct exchanges.

Lots of possibilities, but one design I would check out is Nitrogen's. They use tabs separate 1st half/2nd half, etc.:

And I agree wholeheartedly with Barnstorm. Assuming your target market is the US, you really need to make it so the user is allowed to back each team, rather than betting "Yes" or "No" on just one of the teams. It will make the odds much more manageable for the typical US user, and I believe it would increase your volume.

thank you @both for the very valuable input. We will definitely take it into consideration. We are working on a make over of the whole site: new design, auto refresh, troll box and more.

Pls. add, "When will Fairlay allow users to filter for primary lines only?"
It's still incredibly inefficient to find the main line for a given game (all the alternate lines show up in eevry search).
E.g., if you search for "Pelicans", you have to wade through pages of lines and then take a guess as which one might be full game, 1st Q, 1st Half, team total, etc.

I love Fairlay, but I agree with this concern. It is the single greatest drawback at this time.
The other one is that the "Against" lines are displayed as "-" if they are "+" and + if they are "-" ! They only change to the correct "+" or "-" when you select them. Why can't that be fixed? I've had friends say they don't use Fairlay because of the layout and this confusing "-" and "+" thing on the "Against" listing.
The best layouts among Sportsbooks may be BetOnline, YouWager and CaribSports. You can see almost everything at one glance. The Sports are listed down the left hand side and then there are tabs for First Half, etc.
And with many Books, they are written in a code or language that doesn't require a wait and page refresh every time a new selection is made. Sometimes it takes quite a long time for Fairlay to spin and spin and finally display a new page.

@Sports888
We are a Prediction Market, so we created a few markets about the release of features that were requested.
https://fairlay.com/category/news/fairlay-projects/all/
If something is missing, please create a market yourself..

@fairlaysupport: thanks for 2FA update
A question: when will the speed of grading bets be improved? example like the others regular exchanges do it immediately upon completion of a match. Currently sometimes it can take a while.
Also, unrelated but do you feel that more horse racing markets will be added in the future that also include US and AUS tracks?
Thanks

You may create any market you want on Fairlay instantly. When noone else has created it, just do it yourself next time. There are now 2 presidential election markets available.
Is it free to create markets? Would I get the security deposit refunded after finished event?The security deposit will be returned to you automatically when the market is resolved.
@liad appreciate the nice words

I have used fairlay for a while and I can tell you that is it possibly one of the best predictions market around.
Withdrawals are instant and they offer games from almost every league at every game.
After using nitrogensports which considered to be the gambling site with the highest odds, I can tell you that fairlay has the highest odds around.

Are you sure you saw the green confirmation message, that your bet was fully matched? We think, it's likely that your bet could not be matched. In such a case we do not save a record of the failed taker bet.
It's almost impossible that matched bets go missing as we store this kind of data on multiple servers.

I'm 95% sure. May be you have logs of my visited pages/clicks on "place prediction" button/not matched bets at that day?
We do not keep such logs.

Glad to see that switching between Percentage and Decimal odds doesn't trigger a page refresh anymore

@FairlaySupport I got the problem Btc2usd described earlier. On 8 December i made a 0.05btc "taker" wager "against 300-319" at https://www.fairlay.com/market/how-many-electoral-college-votes-will-be-cast-for-the-winner-of-the-2016-presidential-election/ market. And now i do not see it in my https://fairlay.com/user/predictions/?filter=matched&page=1 list.
We can't check this for you without your username. Anyway, we process hundreds of bets every day and a bet (once it is confirmed to be matched) does not simply disappear from the system.
I made tens of bets before and had no problem like this one. Username is "sankopolo". So please check it.

It is funny how these newbies are trying to stir up commotion and always try to ruin a reputation of a legit site. They offer no proof to help their case whatsoever, just stupid statement and some lies and have only 2 post on the forum.
