Title: Good btc sports betting site?
Post by: suryc on December 01, 2015, 05:46:44 AM
Is there a decent btc sports betting site out there? The best I have found is directbet.eu, which I've been using for some time, but I find the interface clumsy and the odds/spread are often disjointed and far from "fair" (as compared to mainstream sites for betting in fiat). Also, I have a strong preference for sites like directbet that don't require you to deposit and log-in and allow you to bet directly with btc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The best bitcoin sportsbook IMHO is nitrogensports, which has a better odds than Directbet most of the time. Cloudbet is quite good as well. You should check them and make the assessment yourself. :)

What do you mean by odds is far from fair?

May I know in what sports you are betting? Let's check is it really far from fair or you just want an unrealistic odds.

Most of the top books now have instant deposits and withdrawals. Even if you deposit, you can withdraw after a win.

In American Football and Baseball the spread is often too wide on directbet. Sometimes as much as 20% juice (as compared to 5-10%, which is more standard depending on the site). Not always the case and I have had a good experience using the site. I would just like a wider variety of options in those sports.

Thanks, this is really helpful. Now this thread seems redundant, so I'll kill it and defer the discussion to the thread above.
