Topic: FAIRLAY - SPORTS BETTING for experts - highest liquidity, provably best odds - page 82. (Read 135598 times)

Honestly, I love this place, good odds, lots of liquidity. It's a fair place to play - the interface definitely takes some getting used to, but once you get past that, it's a breeze.

So FairLay pretty much steals BTC from me and refuses to refund it.

I would like a member of fairlay support to provide clarity on this.

If I submit a bet with a closing date five minutes before the resolution date, will it be accepted?

As I said, I already submitted a "live" prediction on tomorrow's game, but it has not yet been accepted.

If it is not accepted, why not?


I would like to get into submitting more game predictions, and I would like a more clear idea of why games are, or are not accepted.

First, no live bets, and halftime bets are problematic.
It is very hit or miss if I will get a 2nd half bet on the game I want. Sometimes someone gets it up in time for halftime, sometimes they don't.

The solution seems rather simple to me... Just make the "closing date" and the "resolution date" the same.
That way, people could place their odds either at halftime, or during the game. You would have to keep a separate tab open for your open bets, ready to close them at a moment's notice should one team score, but you would be essentially be doing a live game against other people on the market.

I have seen bets before where the closing date seems to be the same as the resolution date, but when I tried to place bets on these, fairly wouldn't let me.... Anyone know what is up with this?
Would others here have interest in games that are "live" and where you could place halftime bets without hoping someone else scrambles to get the bet up in time?
These "live" predictions would have to be clearly marked "live" in the title so people don't put up "great" open odds a day before the game that get filled during the game, but otherwise, I don't see the problem here.



another less important suggestion is to make similar over/under, moneyline, and point spread games more streamlined.
Take this Broncos game for example: https://www.fairlay.com/event/search/?q=Broncos

Instead of having 14 separate predictions, there should be only be 3.
There should be one "Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos- Over/Under" bet, but when one makes the "new prediction" to create this bet, they would just put all the "over/under" options in the outcomes section. That way, on one page, you would see the on/against odds for "over 42", "over 42.5", "over 43", "over 43.5", "over 44", "over 44.5" and "over 45".
That way, you wouldn't have to have 14+ tabs open just to check the odds.
Same for moneyline. You could have "broncos win 1st quarter", "Broncos win 1st half", and "Broncos win game" all as "outcomes" to bet on or against.

...

What is Pinnicle?
I went ahead and submitted a Broncos prediction for the upcoming game that has multiple moneylines (game, half, etc...), is titled "live" and has the closing date 5 minutes before the resolution date.... Is there any reason this prediction wont be accepted or wont work?

I'm not sure why your "infrastructure" is poor for live betting. Just make the closing and resolution date the same for live.

at the start of November, I made a prediction of "the price of bitcoin will be worth at least 400$ on December 1st" And the bet ended on December 1st.
What ended up happening, is the closer you got to the end of the month, the higher the odds got for a "yes" bet, and on the final day, there were no odds on "yes"... Something similar would happen to a live sports game.
