I have a question about the maker mode. Correct me please, deposit it's not a contract, and i need to trust the bot admin until my offers are accepted and sent to a smart contract

Yes as a maker you have to trust the bot operator. From the moment you deposit your bytes to the moment you withdraw them.

Idea: add the function for a "short" the team. Eg:
Barselona Draw Roma, odds: 1.26 - 7 - 15
Barselona (long = Barselona win) - 1.26. Bet 100Mb. Won: 1.26*100-100 = +26Mb. Lose: -1*100 = - 100Mb
Barselona (short = Barselona not win = Draw or Roma win) - 1.27. Bet 100Mb. Won: = Bet = 100Mb. Lose: (1.27-1)*100 = -27Mb
So Barselona long = +26Mb or -100Mb
Barselona short = +100Mb or -27Mb

For which side is your suggestion ?
For takers I think we shouldn't diverge from what casual bookmakers offer. Also since the interface is only a chat,  it's more reasonable to not offer too much options to keep it simple.
As a makers you can still short or long a team by setting odds to 0. Eg:
Barcelona Draw Roma, odds: 1.26 - 0 - 0 means that you will earn bytes only if Barcelona don't win and lose for other cases.

Also i'm interested in providing liquidity to markets. But i need a coder and i need to know the answer on a first question

I don't know what do you have in mind but I plan in a few weeks to add some kind of API allowing makers to automatize the placement of their offers. With some coding, it would allow the scrapping of odds from diverse sources in order to propose them into the betting bot. We can also imagine some kind of automated hedging from other betting markets.

can you share rules to basketball, hockey and baseball. There no DRAW, what will happen if the DRAW? Is this is HOME/AWAY markets, where one of the team should to win, in the additional time for example? Or if the DRAW bettors will get their bets back?

that's what i meant

can it be done trustless if the tx conf time will fast enough?

These sports are home/away markets including additional time and shootout. In the very rare case where a Baseball match would end in a draw, both teams would be considered as 'not winning' so the maker would win the bytes.

Unfortunately it is not possible in a convenient way.
For trustless contracting on both sides, makers and takers can use the chat to meet and then conclude contracts outside the bot (using P2P betting https://wiki.byteball.org/Sports_betting#P2P_betting) especially for big bets.

Barcelona Draw Roma, odds: 1.26 - 0 - 0 means that you will earn bytes only if Barcelona don't win and lose for other cases.

yeah, but you don't know how the money will be distributed between between Draw and Roma. Everything can go to Roma and Draw will in lose

When you set 0, it means that you don't propose odds for this outcome.
With odds: 1.26 - 0 - 0  and if you've set your max at risk at 100MB and your offer is completely filled. Then you earn 26MB if Barcelona don't win and lose 100MB if Barcelona win.
In this case, the bets on 'draw' and 'Roma win' concern other bookmakers but not you.

This is because the data provider used by the oracle announced a wrong date, this match was in reality on 2018-04-31. Before posting the result, the oracle checked the data from a second source and didn't post the feedname DIJON_OLYMPIQUEDEMARSEILLE_2018-04-01 since it was wrong.
In this case the betting bot sweeps the contracts after 6 days as allowed by the third branch then refund takers and makers. You should receive the refund today around 8 PM GMT.

An API is now available for makers.
https://github.com/Papabyte/betting-bot-API

You can build an application that scraps odds from various sources and submit them automatically to the bot.

Normally you can type anything to reload welcome screen. If the bot is expecting an input for you, you can always go back welcome screen by typing 'cancel'.

well damn ... but the technology rocks ...

just to understand .. the guy creating the bet won 1mb from me , yes ? i made 1 bet 1mb on belgium

No this is wrong. If you made a bet 1 MB on belgium, you risk only 1 MB, but you can win complete 3.15 MB.
The quote was: France vs Belgium 2.51 - 3.10 - 3.15, ok?
