Do you like betting in Sports or Sports trading?

No, but my friend do, he bet everyday and use some analytical software to help to pick a result and always win, he earn a lot everyday.

It's good to have variety in gambling.  It helps you learn more and it adds to the entertainment and enjoyment value when you can engage in different games rather that be poker, bingo, dice, black jack, roulette, and definitely sports bets.  I'm still learning about sports bets but what I see so far is a lot of fun and a good variety.

I like watching sports games, and I enjoy betting a small amount on the games I watch. It kind of makes me feel more involved in the games.
I sometimes follow tipsters' picks as well, hoping to get some profit.

Sometimes I do bet on sport but its either our local basket ball (not NBA) or UFC.
I was hoping they will include WWE and look for spoilers out there lol  ;D

im not a fan of baseball, but once football season rolls around i will be focusing on college and the pros. theres alot of money to be made in betting sports, you just gotta do some homework before laying your bet

Not always but only some times I bet on cricket since I know more about this game. So for I bet only 4 matches and all 4 of them I won.

If i want to sit down and really enjoy a game i dont like to have a bet on it tbh.  I've found ive bet on a team i didnt want to win many times and ending up cheering for them just to win money.

For sport trading you understand site like betfair ? When you trade a bet sport? I use betfair, with fiat currency, but not use any site with bitcoin

I use more time for trading, only with betfair, but in tghe last years i get rent account betfair to other user, because betfair.com don't accept more italian users

I like betting in sports because parlay is addictive :3
And besides, it's quite entertaining to watch it live.

I like to bet in footbal and tennis
I follow joca97 thread and bet in directbet or jetwin,looking for the best odds

I do sports betting especially in a basketball game and this type of gambling is what I preferred most in terms of gambling than any other types. Im a basketball fan and it helps me a lot to do some fearless forecast before the game so I can bet wisely.

Plus in sports betting , like I said in some other thread , all games are fair and equal*. No system can affect the game.

*without game fixing lol

Vote for betting sports. Some of them do betting on sports using martingale is a big win, but I never do this. But what I like about betting on sports is the parlay, you can make so many parlay to win a big cash. It is something like jackpot but a low one  ;D

I love sports betting, it really just makes watching the game more interesting and one don't even have to be worried about provable fairness when you're betting on sports. I don't know what you mean by Sports trading?

Of course i do. I mainly bet on sports cause I can predict the result, not like other casino games like dice, baccarat, slots, I can't predict the future. So good analysts  can profit a lot in the long term, do research on sports, check stats before the match starting is necessary.

Its my favorite way to gamble, I've won and lost so much BTC betting on sports the last few years.

Betting on sports is more " real " as you can analyse the games and bet against somebody else.
It is unlike dice or casino games where you can play against the house only.

I like sports betting too much and doing for long time but now trying to create account in betfair because I want to do sports trading which is also good method to enjoy

If you like the sports, you will enjoy them more with a bet on it, you can try with small bets, the min. is 0.001 btc, that way if your team win, you win too  ;)

In sport betting you can make something called parlay, you place mutiple games in the same bet and you can win more btc with small bets.

This weekend i bet in UFC and won a nice parlay...

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/f7abdd9U2U0TlJ6eGhyV3E4Y1k3dzBONHhtQT09/

But before that, i lose this ones:

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/558a4f9VnZGWHJpNTNzMkhOMzI4R3lzL0d2UT09/
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/41478fdWkRtdEQ2WldjS3l2OFcyY2U1TktoUT09/
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/5e877c5MFFxUUpYS3hWMWZEL3pORFdsc21yUT09/
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/6693e72TXBUdnZEcEVVRVNnSGZSUkJuejZ6UT09/

At last all the gambling is about luck  ;)

That first slip was a lock.
GL man!

I love betting UFC especially, you should check out tapology.com if you want more info about upcoming fights. Great community and tons of information!

I like betting on sports and my preferred game is tennis, I usually wait for the Grand slams such as Wimbledon, US Open etc. because those are the events where top players gather and the matches are exciting and worth betting.

I bet from time to times, but often lost.  :'(

I use all two method, sport exchange for little earning a month and sport book only for pleasure (when i win, no more pleasure when i lost)  ;D

It is great to bet in sports.In sports betting the chances of winning more and more and also you can earn more.In sports betting Tennis is the most safest betting among all the sports.

I like sports betting, I am more into fantasy sports then straight up betting on the outcome of the game.  I am not exactly sure what sports trading is so I don't know how to answer that?

Just some sport booking websites which specialized in bitcoin

http://www.bitcoingg.com/bitcoin-gambling/sports-betting/

I do like betting in sports because it is much less risky when compared to other forms of gambling.
Sports betting is not based on luck it's based on skills. ;)

Agreed with you, I also prefer sports betting to make some easy profit. If you have adequate knowledge about sports and you can predict the result of the game then Sports betting is always better for you. There are maximum winning chances and risk of loosing the money is less. Directbet is one of the trusted site for sports betting and I am using it from long time.

Well you don't have any  skills with sport and don't know about sport that's why you got lose or you make too many parlay to bet ? cuz wanna make a big profit.

I will refer you one of the best site for Sports betting ie Directbet. Directbet is one of the most popular site for sports betting among the bitcoiners. This site popular because its very simple, easy to place the bets, no hassle for creating accounts, no hassle to withdraw the money.

It's true, directbet is vesy easy to use, we do not need to make account for depo and wd. All work flawlessly. If your bet win, automatically your win money will trasfered to your 'targeted wallet'.

But for someone who trying to get ref bonus on gambling. You can try betcoin. betcoin popular among poker player, but their have quite many feature too like sportbook and even e-sport betting (bet on CounterStrike-GO, Dota2, etc).

Is this software public?

If it's true of course it isn't public.

@ontopic I too, like sports betting especially on the NBA. It helps bringing suspense and emotion to the game and makes you love the players and the team even more because they bring you money.  :)

I don't think directbet is the best way for betting sport.
Is good because not required sign up or btc deposited in account but have odds more low of other sport book in bitcoin (and more of 10% with bookmaker site in euro)

I always loved sports but somehow I just never gambled on them, just with friends and the like. I just don't see it as very rational really and you will end up losing money unless you really are a savant or have some insider information. Many people made a lot of money in Seria A (Italian Football) for example if you remember with fixes games that relegated Juventus to the second division.

Any suggestion sportbook sites except DirectBet and Betcoin ?
I'm never bet on any site than that two for sport.

I'm not good on betting in soccer.
Sometimes i just watching semi-final and final match on football with friends.

*except World-Cup  ;D
I would wager a lot and follow it from beginning until FINAL

right, their odds are very low, i kike cloudbet and it offers best odds in btc community, and the betting limit is extremely high-100 bet limit,  you guys can win big there, just click my signature to join ;D :D

Hehe, yes the problem on soccer/football is that it's more unpredictable compared to let's say basketball, plus you have draws to consider. A very inferior team, even a second division one can win against the best one in the league or the world. The are countless of upsets like this in history, amateurs winning against pros, etc. However in other sports, like basketball, if a game is close, then the difference between the teams is not too much.

i usually do bets on sports only when i know the both sides well and only when i can predict who will win this brings me some profit

Yeah, that is  the advantage of sports betting. If you know the both sides, their strengths and weakness and if you are able to predict the result of the match then there are maximum chances of winning the bets. on other hand you can also place multiple bets to cover the losses of wrong bets.

As I heard from good punters that, dont bet before the match starts and you watch the game, with full squads, bet only after some times, and also if you get a chance make it green always.  Why? because all human beings are greedy, so for sports betting if you want to be succedess in it, there is only one formula ie. money management

For the bitcoin, i have see good odds to nitrogensport and cloudbet, but i like more nitrogen.
But i bet low to btc site, i prefer bet in euro to betfair (with the odds really high ) and later convert euro in btc  ;D

I haven't tried betting in sports, I'v had many people recommend it to me, but i'm still up in the air on it.  Need to learn more about it first.

as for odds i agree with you nitrogens one are pretty good.
but they have tiny list of games alot of games i want to play is not playable on their site.
regards.

I like directbet.eu as well. I play either with them, or with NitrogenSports. NitrogenSports has more bet options and more games it seems to me. But directbet has a neat feature that your coins get sent right away to the address of your wish if you win the bet. This makes the site ultra secure since they are holding your money only during the game whole with other bookies, you have to send your funds first to their site!

Sports betting is great for people who are really knowledgeable about sports and have a passion for it. You should not just throw bets at teams you know nothing about.

I like playing poker and Sports bet trading. I do sports bet trading over at the Betfair. If you want to use BTC you can use https://www.betbtc.co/?ref=655

with or without my ref

I like to bet on sports games, but only on the games I am familiar with such as EPL and La Liga in football and grand slam in tennis. It is a lot more fun than gambling on a purely luck game.

I'm sorry, but i totally disagree with you. Even though basketball doesn't have draw, I think football is easier to predict than basketball as it's way way harder to score in football than in basketball. Usually football matches ends 2-0 ; 2-1 ; 1-1 and etc. and basketball totally unpredictable at this (unless you know both sides really well(honestly, even than doesn't help in NBA sometimes)). That's why IMO it's easier to predict football.

I don't do gambling but some times I bet on cricket matches but not to make lot of money instead just for fun. I know this cricket game very well and also can predict some extent who can win while watching cricket match so some times just for fun to enjoy the success I will bet using directbet sits so for very good experience with this sites and their payments are always on time.

I like because there is no fixed house edge and you can make your own odds if you know the teams you are betting.

And there are plenty of options if you are willing to take more or less risks

Alright I trust you since like I said I don't bet on sports at all, it was just an opinion from a sports fan. I think that the difference is also in each league. In the NBA you have a salary cap and all teams are powerful, there are logical differences that you can predict. Right now Cleveland will go to the finals and that's 99% certain. In football you can't say that for any league or match, nothing is written in stone. Upsets in basketball also are very rare, even if they happen, the underdog was not really a true underdog. In football there is plenty of examples, Greece in the Euro, plenty of small teams in the WC and too many more to list here.

Sports betting is the best among other type of gambling. It is safe and simple as compared to other games and type of gambling. You can play safely without loosing much money and there is less risk involved in the sports betting and the winning chances are maximum.

Agreed with you, there is minimum risk involved in betting on sports. There are many options available to place the bets, if you place the bets as per the current situation in the matches then you can be always in the profits.

I bet on sport with DirectBet,practically it is only one my gambling method

Yes live betting good to make a correct decision but some time you may get very less odds when you try to be very safe betting. But still it is good way to make profits compared to playing a dice games. I also some times bet on cricket matches with small amount. I don't know much about Sports trading?

Most of my bets are on sports, as you can actually win in the long term in sports betting, unlike games with a house edge. I usually place my bets at nitrogensports.

there isnt a house edge, but there is a rake that the casino takes in place. the availability of options is, i think, what sets apart sportsbooks from more "traditional" gambling games. point spread, over or under, etc gives one the possibility of gaining an edge to turn a profit in the long run.

yes i love sports betting , i usually do tennis betting as i am well aware of that . I have made some good profits with it and its fun to bet on sports.

Sports betting for me.. NBA,PBA, tennis and UFC. Dice and casino games are complicated and confusing to me.

Just got my wining from the fight Vitor Belfort Vs Dan Herderson :) its not so much but its an easy win.
The fight of Benson Henderson and Thiago Alvez has gotta be awesome this Nov 15.

In sports betting no one can stop you from being win , but in other games like slots and dices , results could be manipulated and made to lose you.
I bet regularly on cloudbet and directbet.

The part in bold is true only if you are playing on a non provably fair sites. Of course, provably fair sites can still scam you by skipping nonce or blocking your withdrawals, but you will notice it right away. Similarly, sports books can deliberately grade your bets wrongly or block your withdrawals.

Dice may look confusing at first but its one of the most simple gambling games, think whats why its been #1 in bitcoin so far.  Some casino games just take an hour to learn also like blackjack.

Sports betting is one of the matured markets in the gambling niche.
Very popular in UK, USA and Asia, where most bitcoin gambling leading operators are.
Betting on all major sports, popular leagues, fantasy sports and more.

actualy not much maybe sometimes . My favourite game baccarat

baccarat is a sport now?
never knew that or that's the only game you play or gamble

Direcetbet site is very good for cricket matches betting. Once in a while I use directbet site to bet on cricket matches and their payments are always on time. Betting in sports is considerably easy then guessing dice game strategy. I only bet on sports and never gamble on other games.

Before betting, you can cycle through information on a particular match, team, athlete ... you analyze everything to weigh who can win. If you do everything by the rules I am sure you always be in positive side.

That me be true one should be doing complete check on player or complete team analysis before betting but some time you also need a luck to win the bets. For example in cricket match got delay due to rain and then will bring in duckworth lewis rule. Because of this the losing team may win easily so one should need some luck also to win in sports betting.

It depends too on how are you going to bet. Sportbetting sure is safer than other games with houseedge but sometimes you will lose too in sport betting because you will fail tour prediction too, it is not that accurate to always go in winning streak. Plus sportbetting take a long time to get the result compare to house edge game that will give you the result as fast as you click on it

I think time is not a matter as long as one got a good tricks and knowledge on sports betting then should be fine but as per me sports betting also we can't win always and it needs lot knowledge on game and players. So for my predictions and wins are higher then loses but didn't make much out of it.

dont forget, fixed matches in real life sports exist too, its just that these events are harder to prove. however, a fixed match in professional sports has nothing against the betters, and theres usually something bigger in the picture than a few sportsbook bets.

Take this parlay (LINK, and my parlay) (https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/f121170UHVoRTYxMGtORUhFZmsvQThEeWJLQT09) for example, only ONE win away, and I can take that and spend anything I want... Yeah. It's really hard to achieve such desired amount and you kept dreaming that you really sure you have won that, and having an experience in picking teams helps you as well, but does not really guarantee you a win. Anything can happen in sports betting as well, not just pure luck betting.

You are hate betting, but you have skills and experinece in the world of betting.  :D
Maybe you want to say, you have experienced in betting, but now you are not too addicted as before because of your lose.

Win/lose in betting is normal. And that is why there are no reason to got addicted in gambling. IMO

You can't stop demonizing  gambling or betting as addicting source. Every pleasant sensation can lead to being addicted. And people are being addicted more and more to stupid things like their phones or facebook.
You are addicted only if you let it be this way, have addictive personality or personal problems.

Fixed match is the only main factor that affects the sports betting industry. But you know as far as sports rules and law are concerned, sports body are taking seriously now on the fixed match incidents. It is still safe to bet in sports today without worrying about a fixed match. Just bet on the normal game if you want to play safe and the important thing here is your own speculation about the game if it will be fixed or not. How to determined it? I said already. Make a own speculation. But for me even the game is big event, I do still betting without worrying about fixed game scenarios.

Anyone ever do any Sports Betting at Nitrogen Sports? https://nitrogensports.eu/r/559422 (https://nitrogensports.eu/r/559422)

I see my friends do it.
But I don't play it, because I don't know how it work  ;D

There is nothing to worried about fixed match if you bet on big event. There are many reports that people tried to fix sports that are not so popular as it is cheaper. Many players for big club earn lots of money per week. It would take lots of money to bribe them to throw a game which is extremely risky.

Try to understand this is a very cool pastime if you nothing to do - look at that to put and sometimes you get a nice bonus ;)

You get a nice bonus only if you can make a nice prediction and got lucky. On sport betting and any gambling games, your probability to lose money is bigger than "win probability".

70 : 30
on long term 90 : 10

It's my favourite gambling subject :D
No house edge!

I like it a lot. To be honest, I believe I have spent more time and wagered a bit more money in sports betting than all the other types of games combined.

no house edge, but there is a rake the sportsbook site takes for hosting the bet. even if the odds were 50-50, you wouldnt double your money if you won, it would be a tad less.

It doesnt matter if there is no house edge, people dont neceseraly win more in sports betting than any other casino games, only a really small amount of people can make profit long term and even those ones say it's extremely hard to make profit and 1-2 bad days can fuck your winnings for the next few weeks

Technically there is a house edge in sports betting.  You could argue its the hardest to win as well.  You have EXPERTS betting against you, they are making lines, odds and thus it is a lot harder to win.

That is correct. Sports betting is slightly more chances one can win compared to other types of gambling games so many people started to explore this sports betting option. I also usually bet on cricket games and so for made some decent profits from betting but not a lot. I like to some times to bet on match and enjoy the game instead just watching the game.

I dont think that is hard to learn. Every bet is just the same. Pick your most favourite team and bet win or lose that is as simple as that

It depends on what we are talking about. Regular sports betting or these new types of daily fantasy leagues ones? These last ones are proven to be almost impossible to make a living unless you are a savant (there are some pros playing, all are math genius). The same applies to regular sporst betting but I feel it's easier to actually win money regularly if you do your research and know the sport in question.

I enjoy betting in sports, as there is no house edge, and with the right picks, you can make profit.

I prefer betting on Sports, because a lot of options and indeed some sports is my favorite :).

I enjoy betting on sports because you have so much data you can analyze and use to predict the result.  Additionally, there are some very good cappers that help to keep my win rate around 62% which equals a positive net result year long.  Much better than gambling in stocks.

A lot,, i bet each and every day ,, on tennis , cricket, soccer and basketball .. I have got good profits till now

I do betting at sports but just only tennis and football. Not much profit but not much losing too.
Anyway what is this sports trading? How its work? Is it some kind of sport betting too?

What is sport trading???

I can only think about selling and buying players, but only teams can do it, and they usually have more than I do anyway

I would think that he means "sports trading" as in daily fantasy sports. I have yet to find a good site that uses cryptos for betting on fantasy teams, but I would be really interested in trying something of the sort. I think something like that is a great idea.

This is yet another area of life that I haven't tried yet, and I need to show up for life more.  I love basketball exclusively but haven't followed it in years (no TV).  Love college and pro but I've never in my life placed a bet.  I don't know, maybe it's good the gambling bug never bit me.

Very much so, made a lot and lost a lot.  ::) sports betting is my fave, just remember... Don't use your heart when picking.

I prefer to play on Sports betting, I only bet on soccer and tennis. I'm pretty good at making a profit from sports betting.

My best guess would be, perhaps he was referring to the action of making "back" and "lay" bets on sports betting exchange like Betfair.

Yes i really like it. it's has more option for betting like betting on basketball games, football and esports. and i preffer betting in sportsbook than dice, because its more fair and more option to bet. btw what is sports trading ?

I haven't played any bets in Sports just because I feel like I would have to keep up with certain teams and their scores and statistics.

I can see why it's a hobby to some people but I don't think it's for me.

I like betting college football because there are more games between teams with significant differences in parity. And because of the ranking system, teams aren't afraid/ashamed of running up the score.

The best was betting during in boxing during the mayweather era, you always knew it was easy money to be made, he would always win.
Same goes for the Fedor Emilianenko era and Crocop era in MMA, you could always be pretty much certain thath tese guys would win.
Right now, Jon Bon Jones in a safe bet in MMA, and Klitschko was at least until last fight were he got beaten by Fury.

i like do betting in Sports especially for soccer and almost everyday did it i don't know why the reasons but i always be so excited in every weekend because i think will have fun with my sport betting
