I like Fairly, been using them for a couple weeks. Last night during the Warriors/Rockets game I wanted to look at the live lines, but could not navigate the site at all. Their site doesn't seem to be able to handle the heavy load during big events.

[hotcross]

^^^the best way to navigate the site is use the search, and simply type in the Team Name or City Name

You would have easily found the Live Lines by typing in Cavaliers, and it would have brought up all those lines available at the time for the game

For Live Lines specifically, you will have more success if waiting between Quarters in basketball, or between periods in Hockey, or between innings in baseball....for example, if you search for Capitals during the game - no Live Lines will appear. But if you search a few minutes after the intermission between periods begins, they will appear. I've noticed baseball almost always has Live Lines active, but your selection probably won't confirm unless between each inning break.

I always use the search. I typed in what I wanted and it would just spin and almost never load. Was useless for live betting.
Works fine right now and every other time I have used it. I hope it's not like that during all heavy traffic times.

don't know what to say RP....I was on last night and was able to look up Live Lines during the basketball game, hockey game, and the baseball games. And they all came up just fine.

For example, when Warriors were down a little more than halfway thru First Quarter, they were about -160 favorite still on the moneyline.

I don't play Live much, but I do like to check the lines and do research.

Maybe you were on mobile device, vs. a computer??

Live in most exchanges is just not the best unless it’s on break esp In USA sports....with fairlay tied in to pinny in many cases doesn’t help as pinny live is bad IMO.....Make sure you click box so it does not show closed markets in search filter...that will help a bit and always enter team in search for faster and better results

[raiders72001]

Betcoin has true live betting with no breaks. 89 markets up right now in the Stanley Cup.

I wish i had the patience to familiarize myself with fairlay but i go on their site, and it does not seem very user friendly. I dont like the for and against thing.. wish it was more like a sportsbook type set up... also find mbtc annoying.. I know its a simple conversion...but still.

are there any youtube tutorials out there

google exchange wagering explained and see videos...many betfair ones will pop up. though sites are different the Fairlay/betfair back and lay is the same... once you figure out one all are easy...Well worth it esp if Fast payouts and best odds are something you are interested in and ure USA

[sdtrader]

I actually prefer the mbtc as opposed to other sites where you are always putting in a fraction of a bitcoin. The horses are fun to bet but for some reason the last few days on some races the bets are showing settled in the link but it is still showing as matched and the funds are still taken away from my available balance. I had it happen twice in the last couple of days and in three races today. I contacted support and got the first two settled but am still waiting to settle 3 races from today. I'm not sure why this is happening more often. Other than that I do really like the site.

Just a FYI they implemented a reserved fund rule see #40 in FAQ https://fairlay.com/faq/#reserved-funds
....one dude ruined it by taking advantage of a misgrade and cashing out a hefty sum...

They need to rethink this solution. In my case, I don't make frequent withdrawals, but now occasionally have to make smaller wagers because some of my funds are on hold for another day.

It is a slight inconvenience But I see why they did. How they implement it I still don't fully understand as its all over board for me. I have had tiny portions of win wagers held, sometimes none at all and then sometimes full amount. The way around it is make multiple small wagers so instead of 10Mbtc do 5 @ 2mbtc or so then the largest one is "illegible" to be held and others will be available...Remember it is only the largest wager in 24Hrs that is held all others are available

[Bsims]

Normally this wouldn't be an issue since I'll keep a big enough balance. I just happen to be on the road in less than secure internet environments so I'm not moving money around. That's the only reason I stumbled on this. There web site has some issues like this that they need to rethink and come up with better solutions.

Another example, I have a MLB game played 2 months ago listed in my matched orders with no apparent way of deleting it.

[PowerMoves]

What other exchanges are these besides Fairlay that accept US customers? Doesn't have to be Bitcoin only.

FYI read this in Chat that they will allow soon you to opt out of the reserve fund rule for a .1 % FEE that is very good news

Join AC88 there you have betfair family and matchbook

[Httr]

AC88 accepts US customers?

yes BTC accounts...the commission is 3% and the from my obesravtions the prices are about the same as fairlay small edge to Fairlay due to lower commissions...But liquidity in some markets esp horses is better through AC88 exchanges...

I'm looking at the sign up page and it does not even have US as an option for Country.

littlekona or anyone
do you see or know of any horse racing exchanges that cover or list the Hong Kong track
like that was running earlier today for example Sha Tin. I dont think betfair exchanges bid ask win and lay covers when those large pool hong kong races happen or do they?

I just opted out of the hold as there is an option under profile tab.
The price for opting out from the On Hold rule is 0.1% additional commission on all winnings (except Dice and Exchange), which is not eligible for reduction.

about to make my 1st wager at Fairlay, gonna take getting used to. I want to bet Reds, so i guess that means I have to bet "against" Phillies, as opposed to betting *on* Reds

[DroopyDog]

Well I think I have the Reds... such a weird way of displaying... based on what I am used to it looks like I have Philly at -114

I concur he is against the Phillies (which would mean he's for the Reds).

[DroopyDog]

Had to hold my breath for a sec when i went back to check balance... such a silly way to list bets

[littlekona]

You'll get use to it... I was scared sh#$less doing my first wager there. It's a great book if you like to keep your bankroll in BTC and not USD.

[DroopyDog]

Have you guys checked out their proof of reserves ? Whenever I click on it, just takes me to a blank page

[DroopyDog]

Soccer markets are pretty bare at Fairlay

[littlekona]

Fairlay always trying to improve and make site easier for peeps...tonight i see they have this "ON Over 7.5" under the matched bets....helps newbies esp and guys like me that are color blind

[Barrakuda]

In case anyone is on the fence about Fairlay, this should settle it for you (from the publicly available trollbox -- I am not the guy asking the question). LOL:


bryyguy89: hi, why was my bet on this market (https://fairlay.com/market/thunder-p-vs-team-x-1/) voided? the bet was a win 2-1 for team X. two following links have proof https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Liga_Pro_Gaming/Season_2 http://en.game-tournaments.com/dota-...r-awaken-69834
