      Easy peasy?

      It's the single worst UI on the Internet as far as I can tell. You don't make the user sift through a hundred props and alt lines to find the primary point spread. The fact that the owner doesn't get this after five years means he never will.

          For soccer and esports they are copying pinnacle odds. Almost 100% same odds, probably have some special deal with pinnacle.

            Right. Literally 50-100 lines show up (incl. all props) in no order whatsoever. Only an idiot would design a web site like this.

              No, they clone Pinny and if your action is regarded as sharp, it will move Pinny's lines instantaneously. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

                    Yep... you're literally typing in 10 different team names... (using search). Honestly... didn't see any significant savings regarding lines. Was getting better ML's at 5D Reduced Juice... and Heritage

                        Yeah looking for O/U is the hardest.

                        If they could just add a filter of player props and a filter of total runs, it would be so much easier.

                        I am getting the hang of it though.

                              Been playing at Fairlay the last month-
                              Website is a mess,probably scares many players away and times slow grading certain wagers.
                              Like other posters stated it gets easier the more times you use the site,search option helps.

                              The lines are the best,payouts are instant(literally).
                              Its a great out guys

                                Most times the search button along with the filters will help.

                                An example of when it doesn't help is when there is an Over/under and a major game with tons of player props.

                                If what you are looking for is not listed on page 1, you are screwed, because once you click to page 2, all the filters go away.

                                It is such a pain in the ass to have to scroll through pages of bubble pictures of player props looking for just the main freaking line.

                                How can they be so lazy?

                                Making a few changes to the website would make their site so much better and attract so much more business.

                                        No. Lazy. People have been asking for easier ways to find primary lines for years now. You think they're suddenly going to wise up after the 200th request?

                                          I don't think it's too much to ask for the main O/U lines to be posted at the top of the 1st page. Then have the various props follow. This would be a more intuitive format, imo.

                                          I've been working on a model for team totals. If anyone else plays team totals, this might help:

                                          Go to search function

                                          Type, not case sensitive, the team city team name total away

                                          For example, let's say I like the red sox team total today at over 3.5 for the full game.

                                          I'll type in the following: boston red sox total away

                                          What you'll see are two options. The box on the left is for the 1st Half; box on the right is for full game.

                                          This only seems to work for the visiting team. If you look up the home team, it lists all those props. However, the consolation is that the team total is still at the upper left corner of the first page; so it's not terribly difficult to find.

                                          If unsure, you click the FULL TIME or FIRST HALF link above. Or you can simply click on each individual box and choose the Exchange View for detailed info.

                                          It defaults to ON over.

                                          Obviously, if you like the under, click AGAINST.

                                          At the time of this post, Fairlay does have a good line for the Over:

                                          Fairlay -102

                                          Heritage -115

                                          Bookmaker -109

                                          Because limits are smaller on team totals, I need multiple outs.

                                          I've tried similar tactics on the game total and haven't found anything as efficient. Like I said, they really should have the main O/U default to the top of the first page.

                                            One more thing...the search functions doesn't do well with Los Angeles Angels. You'll see listings for the Galaxy and the Sparks.

                                              excellent job explaining that....if you do type in Angels then click the MLB sub tab that helps narrow down more too....

                                                It's the single worst UI on the Internet as far as I can tell. You don't make the user sift through a hundred props and alt lines to find the primary point spread. The fact that the owner doesn't get this after five years means he never will.

                                                  Let's say you wagered on a game at +110

                                                      This. There’s also a guy who has a bot that offers an extra 0.3 cents on pinnacle odds for main bets up to a few hundred $. So pretty much you get pinnacle odds after commission too.

                                                        Does Fairlay offer the ability to bet in other currencies besides bitcoin? I see you can deposit other currencies but when I go to settings and change "currency" to ETH or bitcoin cash, the odds/confirm betting box still reads "mbtc" in payout and other areas. My balance still shows as mbtc too. I am making a deposit tomorrow and was hoping to consider betting with another, faster, currency after significant delays and high costs with btc lately.

Unless they are using an odds provider different than Pinnacle + penny or two, they will never have better odds. Just like Nitrogen, they will never have better odds than Fairlay on any market as they simply take Pinnacle + 2-5 cents each side.

                                                                    I feel like more and more books are simply just using Pinnacle odds as their base and adding additional margin. Especially in bitcoin world.
