Title: ESports betting? Post by: dmb21 on May 18, 2013, 02:33:15 AM Where's a good place to bet BTC on esports (sc2)? I used to use bitcoinsports.eu, but esports disappeared from the site. I'm a newb so I can't post in their thread to ask about it (if somebody else can I'd appreciate it).
Thanks Title: Re: ESports betting? Post by: lewis_ on May 18, 2013, 02:47:10 AM I also wish to know the answer, unfortunately bitbook took away esports too - only reason I can think of is some of the matches are predictable but that doesn't make sense considering that is the same for other sports too surely.
Title: Re: ESports betting? Post by: afrotec on May 18, 2013, 02:49:26 AM That's strange, why are they dropping esports? Not a big enough following maybe?

I don't think predictable would be a problem. On the other hand, if the matches are unpredictable enough that they have trouble getting the odds right, they could be losing money on it. Either that or just not enough of a following to make it worth their time. Too bad, I finally had something "productive" to do with my BTC. Title: Re: ESports betting?

I think you're right about the odds :P I would definately say AxiomAcer has a major chance of winning, wouldn't even bet on this due to risk personally. Title: Re: ESports betting? Post by: dmb21 on May 18, 2013, 03:12:16 AM I just found NitrogenSports.com from a reddit thread, they still have esports (and a pretty decent interface). Just placed a bet on Axiom, hopefully they pay out if I win :)
Title: Re: ESports betting? Post by: lewis_ on May 18, 2013, 03:15:07 AM Ah, thanks for the link! Will check it out too, good looking site. Their thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159098.60) seems to have decent feedback.
Title: Re: ESports betting? Post by: dmb21 on May 18, 2013, 03:42:17 AM Cool, good to know they are active here. Hopefully they'll keep it up, Bitcoin and eSports go together like cocaine and waffles.
