True. It was less than 1 percent of bets on Fairlay that were lay bets, but they were causing at least 10x more often problems, so we do not encourage it on the new platform.

Hey, best to use DeFi books or exchanges only. Polymarket is the most popular one. For sports betting try  bitcoin-betting.com.  No KYC, no personal data collected, unstoppable, automated instant withdrawals all the time via Smart Contracts...

Just to clarify. Fairlay and Bitcoin-Betting operate as an exchange with public orderbooks in the background.  So limits are the same for all users.

You can only place lay bets by using the API or any custom interface. From experience it is not advisable to allow regular users to place open orders.  They will get matched at unfavorable prices or other users take these orders when the market is already in-play  causing a lot of disputes. 

But nowadays with all these AI-Tools at hand it's very easy to write your own python script  or Javascript app that runs in your browser.   https://github.com/Bitcoin-Betting-Official/Bitcoin-Betting-Javascript

This is just a proof of concept, but should work:  https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafkreig23znqnsff2zcjbmgpiu4jews3zpj7asg72aorn6dtycgjsfhhzm

There were some other requests in the past for a tool, that lets you place a bet on a certain market with a certain description and title  whenever the odds are above a certain level.  If there is some demand for it, we can implement it.

This helps a lot in fixing the issue. We could finally reproduce it.  You need to switch to the Ethereum Network or Rootstock in your MetaMask.  You are probably on a different chain? 
 We will also fix this in the App by automatically switching if the user allows it  - but this will take a few days.

If you still experience problems, share it together with the Console Output (go to Developer Tools in your Browser).  You can post Bug Reports now in the Chat in the dApp.

We wil try to improve on the MetaMask problems. On most browsers it should work however. 

Small correction: If you use RBTC or ETH as your main currency, there is no central custody of funds. All funds are held in a smart contract and can be redeemed anytime without any possibility for anyone to block the transaction.

The odds should be already the same as with your broker.   No limitation of players is taking place on our end. There is only a very small commission on the winnings of less than 0.25% - depending on your VIP level.  You can send us a DM here or on X or via email at  info@bitcoin-betting.com  to get an Invite-Code or fill out the form on bitcoin-betting.com

@CoffeeSlipper64  thanks for pointing it out. It should be fixed.

@Haunebu  Match fixing is a very serious problem in the Sport Betting Industry. Without the invite system, Bitcoin Betting would be the dream of every criminal out there:  no personal data collected, no confiscation of funds possible, unlimited number of accounts to hide the activity can be easily created. Unlike with the other exchanges you mentioned, there is no KYC on our platform that would pose as some kind of entry barrier for bad actors. 
 

Hi, happy to answer.  We do not use the Ethereum chain for processing the bets, but a custom chain with fees as low as it can get:   about 0.0001 USD  per transaction.  To transfer assets to this chain you must use a bridge. Solutions to bridge assets exist for Bitcoin and Ethereum so far. Network fees for both are usually below 5 USD per transaction.  It would be very easy to accept assets from other EVM chains, like Polygon or Arbitrum.  If there is demand for it, let us know.

Happy to issue Bitcoin Betting invites to respected members of this forum.  Please send us a PM.
