Bitcoin Forum

I thought to give a try to gambling and after a little search I found directbet was the best one. So i started playing but the experience was horrible.

I bet on some event and my bet keeps being in pending status and once something bad happened ( according to what I needed ) they immediately placed my bet. I thought this might just be a incident but after doing this 3 times I am sure the guys are very sketchy.

My personal recommendation : Never bet here at any cost, even if this is the last site on earth to bet at !

I hope the owner contacts me, else I will publish this at every possible forum.

You have bet in bitcoin - litecoin - doge or dash ?
I bet every time in bitcoin and doge, but the 99% of time my bet is accepted very fast, without confirmation.
But you have bet in live mode?

JosIzem first i bet more and more time to directbet, later i have change betting site, because i have problem with livebet.

direcbet have 3 option

 Flexible Odds

Negotiate Odds.

Firm Odds.

if you use flexible, bet is accepted 100%, but if use firm odds, more time the odd change and bet don't is accept

Directbet is a site for beginners in betting. They have the lowest odds and the poorest bets line in the industry. You will never be able to bet with a profit in the long run with directbet.
If you want to have a chance to win in the long run you must to try different sportsbooks.

You need to read their FAQ if you dont understand. Everytime you send your bet to the address then the bet will be accepted already sometimes it will shows as pending only for few seconds, at some special cases it will be rejected if you use fixed odds but mostly will be accepted right away and nothing is wrong with that

Yes, it is exactly what i want to say. You have to check rules and FAQ. There is few options that maybe you didn't realize.. I never have problems with bets on their site.

Like bittaitaliana, I use flexible odds and never had a problem with it.
As for the odds, to be honest I don't find them to be that different from the other sportsbooks.

Also if you check this thread you will find around 85 users betting regularly on directbet and some of them with more than 100 bets, and you don't see anyone complaining about that. So it is probably a problem about the method you used to bet.

Have you ever try to contact their support ? I have good experience with directbet.eu because their support always response.

I have never had any problem using Directbet except one problem and it wasn't from their side ( it was blockchain confirmation problem )
also I think everyone here recommends Directbet for sportsbetting , so maybe you should contact their support

Well, thank you guys and sorry if I said something bad about your loving directbet. This is just my experience, they are unprofessional too. You will find  different odds on same event with different options.

Overall very unprofessional and highly retard site. You can enjoy gambling with them but trust me you cannot win with them cause they kept my bet to wait for 20 mins and then finally processed it when they saw yes the probability is very less and odds are low.

Yes their odds is very low if you compare them with the other site but I love simple things that is why I keep betting with directbet. Some small odds different is not going to affect my small wager


The time when you send your bet then it is actually confirmed already even if it shows as pending but if you mean you wait 20 mins before they send you your winning then it is still normal, some sportsbooks grade your bet for hours

I don't about long run what you mentioned. But I have used this directbet site for betting cricket games many times and my bets are accepted almost in few seconds and my payments are received almost on time every time I won the bets. So according to me he should have contacted the support team and found out what was the issue exactly.

Are you betting in direct dice , all in poker, or sport ?
it's better if you show us the bet ID.

I have used directbet for a few times this month, but I have never had the problem you described. Also, I think it is better for you to contact DB directly, rather than to wait for them to find this thread and then contact you.

The "power" of directbet is this, you can bet rapid, without account, without bitcoin or altcoin deposit to one site, but the odds is 10-15% more low of professional bookmakers like betfair.

I have work with surebets for more of 10 years, in the past have to betfair really more money without problem, but in one bitcoin sport betting site, i don't trust to have 5-10 btc deposited to account  ;D

I assume its a sport bet and its live betting right? When a game is in play, the odds are changing minute by minute or everytime one team scores ofcourse and sometimes it depends on their provider if they are giving odds for a certain bet in a time

You have 2 active loans now and you're spending them on gambling?

i didnt have that experience anytime from my time betting :)
regards.

My experience here was nice, never had a problem like urs. Yeah better read FAQ before you start aaand its not that horrible like you said..
maybe its ur problem or ur wallet,
like james said you still have active loan and ur gambling with it.
Now ur look like threatening directbet.. why must they contact you? Are you going to ask refund? Maybe coz Lose the loaning btc  ::)

Here's what I imagine happened, you placed a LIVE bet and you chose "Negotiate odd" and when you placed it the bet kept in "Negotiate" state because the odds were low at that time but it got confirmed when the team/player you bet-on were in a bad position in the game because anytime that happens the odds are going to jump up naturally. You may think that they did it intentionally but they didn't.

Live betting is risky but it brings great rewards, when you win i.e. but it's not DB's fault.

What the hell are you talking about? A bet is always in pending until it's settled (either won or lost).

Fiat bookies do exactly the same.

There's nothing wrong with DirectBet, they're one of the most trustworthy bitcoin businesses out there.

This must be an isolated issue. I have placed bets many times with them and every time everything went smoothly. Ok, sometimes the site was unaccessible but that was it.

What you need to do is contact an owner. He is always on the forum and I am sure he will help you solve your problem.

Cheers!

if you like a rapid bet, you can open account with more other betting sport site, like nitrogen, cloudmet, anonobet and more other, you deposit and bet without wait a confirm of the bet (but if you bet live is normale wite 5-10 second for the change of odd)

I think you have followed some incorrect procedure or you have some misunderstanding, I am betting through direct from long time but never experienced any difficulties or other problems. My bets are always accepted and settled immediately after the results and payment of winning amount is also immediate. I would anytime recommend this site to others without any hesitation.

Yeah you are right, if you have selected flexible odds then your bet will be accepted on the spot but if you have selected negotiable odds then it will take some time until the odds which you have selected and the live odds are the same or more. if you have any doubts then you can contact the directbet, there is a different thread for directbet, you can ask your your query.

Hmmm this kind words possibly come from 1. Lazy person 2. Directbet rival agent. 1. Lazy person who didn't read carefully the rules ( i really try thinking positive to your statement). 2. Directbet rival agent, you said like Have you get in touch with directbet support? And if you could maybe you can share your bet ID here.

Hi JosIzem,

Thanks for trying DirectBet :)

Could you please send your bet ID(s) to support@directbet.eu so that they will be able to look into it for you.

We confirm bets instantly as soon as the bet transfer is received.

If you would like to guarantee bet confirmation we recommend using the Flexible Odds betting option, especially for LIVE In-Play betting.

Is it possible that you used the Negotiate Odds betting option ?

If you use the Negotiate Odds betting option and set the minimum required odds too high, then your bet is not confirmed and left in 'Negotiate' state until the odds reach the target you specified. If the odds never reach the specified target your bet will be refunded at the end of the event.

The Negotiate Odds and Flexible Odds betting options are explained in more details here :

https://directbet.eu/FAQ.cshtml#BetOptions

Anyway, please send your bet ID(s) to support@directbet.eu. They will happily look into it for you.

Thanks a lot !

All the Best,

Michelle

bets always go to pending soon as you place them. all you need to do is click the refresh bet status tab til it confirms. If youre betting an event thets playing when you bet it sometimes they will not accept a bet but if the event has not started it will always confirm pretty fast

you got the response from directbet now
i never had a problem when i place my bets at directbet i think they are trustworthy gambling site

I had done few bets on directbet and yes they sometime hold bets in pending even with flexible odds , but they are legit and trustworthy.
I bet there when i have extra cash to loose !!

That's true, the pending status will be their only few seconds and bet will be confirmed soon after that. I think he might have done something wrong by mistake so bets are not confirmed. Instead of creating new thread, it is easy fast way is write to their support team to resolve issue. If they don't resolve your issue then with proof you can open scam acquisition thread. I hope they will resolve your issue.

i always place bet with live betting to, but never experienced something like urs, i dont think directbet cheating anyway..
and could you please sort this out with support and dont threatening directbet like this,
 :-\ not a nice thing to do actually.

It's actually a fair thing to do if directbet doesn't reply, or give any help. OP should send a few follow up messages if the first one isn't replied to, but after a few messages I think it's fair to spread the word. However, it seems like directbet is now trying to solve OPs problems, so now we just have to wait and see if OP gets satisfactory support or not.

Looks like your bet was on Negotiate Odds? Can you provide the bet ID?

I never had any delays. All bets got confirmed like max 10 seconds after I send it (I pick flexible odds most of the time)

I never faced any problem and I am regular player to place bets on different sports events.I would say directbet is best and unique in many ways at the moment.Sometimes something can happen anywhere but support for customer is to solve the issue soon.I personally never contacted support as so far was not needed to do so.

I didn't face any problem and will keep placing my bets there.You should first contact the support before starting thread against any site.

Nice website, interface and support. But their lines are kraaaaaaap! No way any serious or proffesional gambler would find it usefull. Strictly for casual gamblers.

so far i have very good experience with directbet. the only complain i have is that there is no search button. otherwise den that the bet is fast and i really like anonymous.

I love the setup at Direct Bet, but this is very true. Unless I negotiate odds, I rarely ever place a bet here. I do like to check them out for a chukle though. (the All-In poker is pretty cool too)
