These are all events that have already started (pinnacle doesn't offer the lines anymore). It just looks cluttered.

Sick. Would you be willing to say who your market makers are by the way? For the sake of transparency.

thanks for the input. Keep in mind that the Pinnacle API is a bit slower than their GUI. Anyway, we will probably increase the update intervals for the eSports closing times as they seem to change more often. I'll let you know when it's done. Regarding the time the markets are filled with orders is not in our hands.
EDIT: We create new markets every 10 minutes based on the basic pinnacle feed. It usually takes not more than 15 minutes for the market makers to fill them up with orders. So you should find every eSport market on Pinnacle after a maximum of 25 minutes. Did you experience something else?
Not sure, but 25 minutes is probably too long for eSports: 1) A common format (at least in SC2) is a 4 player group, where the first two players play each other, then the other two players play each other, and then there is a loser's match and a winner's match, and lastly the winner of the loser match plays the loser of the winner match (perhaps this is called tournament format). In this case, the lines for the first 2 matches can be created in advance, but you need to keep up for the other 3 matches. 2) (this is relevant for all esports i believe) When there are multiple maps/rounds in a match, sometimes pinnacle only opens the market for the first map ahead of time, and opens the others as they go. In this case you also need to be updated frequently. I'm not sure how they do it, but nitrogen is better in this regard.

The syncing with Pinnacle as regards to eSports is rather poor, often doesn't add matches until too late and leaves lines open for too long (and if you try to bet on them, it gives you an error without telling you that it's too late).

There are 2 identical "Next [US] President" events and one "Hillary Clinton next President" event, all 3 could be merged into one to avoid confusion.

Who are you? Who places these bets on the bookies on my behalf? How do you gain profit?

They posted this on the sportsbook rating thread yesterday: What's the objective feeling about Fairlay?
We wish we could give you more information. We are still having problems with a certain bug and we don't want to run the site with a known bug. We first had the problem that a user could cancel a bet twice due to a specific so called "race condition". Know our fix lead to the bug that in some cases a user can not cancel an open bet at all. We might need to do a bigger refactoring of our code. However - we strongly want to emphasize that cash outs are possible with no limitations. Just send us an email from the email address you used for fairlay.com

Still maintenance

I think if it was perhaps 100 it would be better, although I agree it doesn't really matter.

Apart from draw odds being all wrong, most other odds are correct except some are randomly wrong too. For example the above link (on one of the pages), shows an open "no" outcome for Bayern vs Augsburg at like 2.5 odds, which is clearly not true.

I have programmed a php library that:
1- Interacts with BetBTC API to get a list of future markets and stores them on a local DB.
2- Reads the Step 1's BetBTC database fields and uses Betfair API to crossmatch those markets with the correspondent Betfair MarketIds and Team Names. Then it records these values on the same database correct fields.
3- Reads each one of the selected Betfair's Marketbooks and stores the best prices / odds on the local database.
4- If since the last database price writing there was a variance on the prices (odds) it uses BetBTC API to update previous bets on the selected market.
This script is running on loop every 10 minutes. If there is anyone interested, message me. I can share the sourcecode
Why don't you opensource it?

*** Only 50% Commission for this Sunday ***Try our platform today with this little incentive. Campaign valid for all markets until midnight UTC (of monday) Good luck What is your commission structure? Is it like betfair in that commission is only charge on the end market result, not on each trade on a market? Do you have in-play betting, if so, what delay do you have on the bets being accepted? Sorry if these are dumb questions but I am at work at the moment but would like to try out your website tonight. I didn't know there was a bitcoin betting exchange, I used to work for betfair and think bitcoin is perfect for a p2p betting exchange. Hello Our commissions are charged exactly like on betfair. You pay nothing more than a commission on your gross winnings on a market. This means that if the global trading activity on a market for a user is negative, that user won't be charged anything even if he/she had one on more positive bets on that market. InPlay betting is allowed and welcome. There is no delay for inplay bets, exactly the same as other bets. If you have additional questions let me know. Your answer was not clear. I think we can assume "market" means sport but I think you should define that better as well (in case you actually count different soccer leagues (for example) as different markets. You also need to define the period over which gross winnings are calculated and commissions are charged. Is this weekly? Monthly? Or is some other time period used. For example if I win 2btc the first week of April but lose 3btc the 2nd week of April (and dont bet for the rest of the month) and I charged commissions for the first week? Or am I not charged at all since my gross profit/loss for the month is actually a 1btc loss This page needs a lot more detail: https://betbtc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201851991-How-is-my-comission-calculated-I'm fairly certain "market" here refers to an event like a single match; so it's actually just like Betfair. I do agree though the way this information is presented is really bad. You can't find the simple commission percent (which is 4, by the way) on the site, and you have to go their zendesk link to see the FAQ, which is littered with unclear info and grammatical errors.

Pagely reminder this bookie says it will ban you if you place a bet on one outcome on Jetwin and a different outcome on another site.

Very nice update @fairlay! However I can't combine "League tags" & "Type tags". Anyway, great site! Keep it up! Your odds are amazing!
Thank you! And thanks for the bug report - should be fixed now. Cool, thanks. That was fast. I like you site a lot! Looks like I won't need any bookies anymore. Any chance you can add Rugby soon? Thanks - indeed, this is our clear goal - to be the unquestioned number one for every one who cares about odds. And since the exchange model with 0% fees (at the moment) is already the most favourable for customers we now try to improve everything around it. Reliability of the site, speed of cash outs, user interface. So we are happy to hear feature requests! Regarding Rugby - we plan to add another sport every 2 week. Since you are the first with a request we will add Rugby next! eSports next please - the lines on pinnacle for example. Also, I'd like to have the odds on a page auto refresh.

The owner has personally sent me 2BTC (when the price in USD was a lot higher) when my email account was compromised and due to miscommunication a withdrawal was made from Fairlay to the wrong address. So I highly doubt he would take off after your 0.01 deposit.

In case you haven't noticed, they just post stuff of the nature of "Thanks for your feedback" here, not actual communication.
