True but until you open your API and start treating your average user fairly I and many others will be staying well clear.

Well, the API is open... to market makers and affiliate integrations. And market makers are being onboarded at a reasonable pace. The fact is that we need more than "just enough" differently focused market makers to support a healthy ecosystem within the exchange. Some are focused on horse racing, some on football. Some do only tennis, some might be really good at cricket. Golf, motorsports, baseball, basketball, ...…

> The API will be opened once we are confident the exchange and its ecosystem can sustain the flux.

I think this is the problem, you could wait an iternaty for this to occur / I am not sure how you are going to calculate it. You are delaying the inevitable and if you ask me the longer you leave it the worse it will be.

I am all for a competitor to Betfair but it’s not going to be smarkets if the API stays closed and market makers are treated like god. The ‘fair market price’ / ‘errounous trade’ policy is rediculous, do any of you bet / trade?

Stealth startup | Android (Kotlin), iOS (Swift), backend (Ruby/Rails), UI/UX designer, product, and growth | Silicon Valley + remote (we're flexible) | Full-time only | Competitive salaries depending on role, experience, and location

We are a stealth company, with millions in seed funding, founded by serial entrepreneurs looking to crack open the unyielding world of real estate and homeownership. This unique industry is riddled with extreme fragmentation and is plagued by a sea of uninspired product offerings. We're a team of seasoned operators and developers that loves to move fast and laughs in the face of nasty-hairy challenges that lie in our path. Home base for us is in the Silicon Valley but we have a team that spans eight countries. So whether you're in bay area, thinking of moving to SV, or are happy where you're at, we'd love to hear from you.

The most important thing we're looking for is a hunger to change the world. If you're an audacious soul looking to tackle one of the biggest problems that plagues our society today and yearning to join an experienced team at the ground floor, then hit us up!

A few years of experience is preferred. Please email your resume and (optional) references/code samples to us at jobs zilly.email

I'm not going to debate this any further because it would be fruitless; you have clearly made up your mind.

However, I will point out that it sounds like you'd demand the right to angleshoot without limitations. The rules and policies are in place for a reason.

Betting on a contract after the outcome is known is not only dishonest (read: fraud), it's also the equivalent of trading with inside knowledge on a stock exchange. A betting exchange is not just expected, but in fact required to void such trades.

And stock exchanges also have their policies about voiding (or "reversing") clearly erroneous trades. Such rules are not exercised often, but they will be invoked to protect the integrity of the market place. In case of a betting exchange, if the odds for a contract are clearly out of sync with reality, then trades made on that would be expected to have been done in bad faith. For example: football match is 75 minutes in, home team leads 4-0. No pending penalties or cards. If at that point there were quotes on the winner market which put home team on a 5% probability to win the game, those would be obviously erroneus.

Funnily enough - and this is not something many people would think about - if a betting exchange did not have policies and practices in place to handle such situations, they could be considered to be neglecting their AML (anti money-laundering) controls.

This thread has reached the limits of its purpose. I'll shut up now.
