Post by: tomtomtom7 on March 28, 2014, 02:32:35 PM
Hello,

We have created a new soccer betting website at https://btcsoccer.com (https://btcsoccer.com).

Mainly because I really like the idea of gaming and gambling without having to login. It really feels magical to be able to play without all the hassle and trust, just by scanning a QR code.

Features

- Betting on all major European leagues.
- Live match updates
- Direct payout after the game
- 2% house edge, only on profits

Please check it out and let me know what you think...

So....

How does this forum work?

Did I post in private mode? Or are you all too flabbergasted by my site to comment?

I am not sure why my soccer website seems to invoke less reactions then all these ponzi scheme sites

This forum is definitely very polluted with scams and it is hard to get noticed with something legitimate. You have to really stick around and keep informing people to eventually get noticed.

That said, I found your site very confusing. I couldn't figure out if it was a sportsbook or an exchange. And it definitely is not "magically without trust."

But I see that it's very early for your product. I'm sure you can refine it and find a huge niche, especially with World Cup coming up. Good luck!


PS: People like some kind of promotion, especially when trying new things out.

Thanks for the heads up!

We are a soccer betting exchange.  We take Bitcoin bets and return the total wager - in Bitcoin - to the winner(s) of the game.

We made this service mainly because we really like the magic of betting without having to register or login. I think this makes it all really straightforward and transparent; you simply pick a game, select your result(s), checkout your BetSlip, pay and win! (or lose)

The trust issue is no bigger then any other bitcoin service: all transactions are uniquely tied to a bet & wallet address and transparently stored in the blockchain? Besides our 2mBTC minimum wager is small enough for anyone to start give it a spin I think?

Regarding the promotion: we're working with a 2% house edge on profits only (non-winner matches are 100% refunded to all bettors). You think it would entice people if we temporarily remove our commission?

So in order to get a bet matched there needs to be another person willing to lay the side you want? How is the liquidity so far?

Yes, I think a no-commission promo would definitely entice some folks.

The liquidity is still pretty small.

You can probably still make some easy money by betting on reasonable choices because current bets often seem to defy all reason :)

There is little risk in placing a bet on a game with no existing bets because:
- If there is no winner you get your money back
- If you win you only pay a fee over your profits; not over your own wager.
