It had confirmations earlier but the btc never arrived there, it also looksl ike it automatically sent it to the above address in the link below..but I never authorized that. What the hell is wrong?

Just to make sure you aren't misunderstanding ... is this with a local client (such as Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind, or is it with a hosted (shared) E-Wallet (such as an exchange account like you get with MT. Gox)?

With an E-Wallet, that service simply credits your account with any deposits made to that Bitcoin address.  But once that happens the blockchain can show those coins moving elsewhere but that won't affect your E-Wallet balance.

So to get a better answer to your question, please share more info, such as what client or service you are using.

I believe I used a shared wallet, one that is provided by an online sports betting company

Well, the confirmations provide proof that the funds were delivered to that Bitcoin address.  So if that E-Wallet hasn't given you credit you'll need to contact them to see why your account wasn't credited.

You should contact the website administration or support to ask what happened to your Bitcoin. Perhaps there was a technical issue, or they have stolen your Bitcoins.
