Title: The BitBookie - Sports & Political Betting
Post by: Reikoku on June 28, 2011, 05:51:14 AM
I figured no one's doing it, and I can do it (used to work at a bookie) so I'll shoot for it.

How it Works
- You PM me the bet you want to make and your receiving address, and wait for my reply confirming the odds and the payout if you win.
- I will generate an address for you to send to, and you will send me the BTC you want to bet.
- I will generate a PM for you confirming your bet, with a reference number which you can quote when you win.
- You are anonymous, but I certainly won't complain if you post here and vouch for me.
- Odds are subject to change, nothing is final until I *PM* you odds. I will try to keep the thread up to date but obviously things can change when I'm asleep or out or whatever.

Rules
- Maximum bet 1 BTC. I don't want to go broke and don't want to make anyone broke.
- Minimum bet 0.02 BTC. Don't want to be hit with a bunch of microtransactions and not be able to pay fees.
- Winnings must be claimed within 30 days of a bet being won.
- If there's a bet you want to make which isn't here, just ask for some odds and I'll offer or not.
- You can place aggregate bets, for example a bet at 2/1 and one at 3/1, if both win you get the combined winnings (6/1) but if only one or neither wins, you get nothing.
- It is your responsibility to confirm that you are legally allowed to bet.

The Odds
Odds are given in the English format of X/Y. You will bet Y, and if you win, you get X back plus your bet of Y. For example, if the odds are 7/2, you can bet 0.2 BTC. If you win you get 0.9 back, 0.7 plus the 0.2 you bet in the first place.

For MLB, NBA, NFL, Ice Hockey, Soccer... whatever, just ask for odds and we'll work something out.

Just chiming in confirming Reikoku is a stand up guy

Placed a bet with him yesterday, good odds, great communication and quick payout after I won the bet

Just so everyone knows, I do take bets on stuff that isn't up.

NFL, MLB, Soccer, NBA, WNBA... whatever you want, just ask.
