You might want to remove "provably best odds". PowerBet.io seems to offer better odds than your market makers do (they have a ~1.5% magin), so you no longer have the best odds, and it can't be proved that you do. Great! Still, I would consider a different Host Provider. That is unacceptable service.
I have FREE web hosting service for my site and it is hardly ever down and then only for a few hours at most. And it is much faster loading pages than Fairlay.
Just saying, but Fairlay probably has way way more traffic than your site gets. No serious site with that much traffic would use a free host. No, I was not suggesting they move their host to my Free Host. I was just pointing out that they can do better.

Suggestion:
Statements and Resolved Predictions are not listed by date, but rather by "1 month" or "2 weeks, 2 days."
Can you change that to the actual date? It would be so much easier to find something a few weeks or a few months ago.
Thanks!
Try to disable "relative dates" in your Profile Preferences. Great! That did it. Thanks! I don't remember choosing that. Maybe it is set to that by default?

Good to hear that it is just that and not a Bitcoin heist. With the price of BTC now over $1,000 USD, I worry that some Bitcoin Books and other sites might be subject to hackers and thieves.
Please keep us updated. I would get new Host Provider. It should never take this long.

Pls. add, "When will Fairlay allow users to filter for primary lines only?" It's still incredibly inefficient to find the main line for a given game (all the alternate lines show up in eevry search). E.g., if you search for "Pelicans", you have to wade through pages of lines and then take a guess as which one might be full game, 1st Q, 1st Half, team total, etc. https://gyazo.com/0860cf34ce19e5af8bb40143a0c362ecI love Fairlay, but I agree with this concern. It is the single greatest drawback at this time. The other one is that the "Against" lines are displayed as "-" if they are "+" and + if they are "-" ! They only change to the correct "+" or "-" when you select them. Why can't that be fixed? I've had friends say they don't use Fairlay because of the layout and this confusing "-" and "+" thing on the "Against" listing. The best layouts among Sportsbooks may be BetOnline, YouWager and CaribSports. You can see almost everything at one glance. The Sports are listed down the left hand side and then there are tabs for First Half, etc. And with many Books, they are written in a code or language that doesn't require a wait and page refresh every time a new selection is made. Sometimes it takes quite a long time for Fairlay to spin and spin and finally display a new page.

I give Fairlay a 5! Fairlay often offers odds a point or two BETTER than Pinnacle! They are clearly the best Bitcoin Book out there. The layout is set up like an Exchange, so that just takes a little getting used to, but it's worth the short learning curve. For example, on Fairlay, Manchester United is -205 or 1.48 vs Hull City in their upcoming game. On DirectBet, Manchester United is -232 or 1.43! Not even close. Go to Fairlay Exchange: GL!

Cloudbet is okay, but they do take too long to process payouts. Odds are not the best. But I wouldn't call them a scam. They just need to improve in those two areas. Their site design and speed is one of the best! And their Live! betting is very good and has much better odds than their Pre-Match betting.
Fairlay has the best odds - just like Pinnacle's. Betballer.com and Nitrogen.eu close behind as far as odds. BitCoinRush seems to have the exact same odds as BetOnline so that is pretty competitive.
This thread seems to have been overtaken by paid DirectBet posters, so the rankings are a bit skewed. No way DirectBet with it's horrible odds and horrible user interface should be at the top of any list. Sorry.
Fairlay: 5.0 Betballer: 4.75 Nitrogen: 4.75 BitCoinRush: 4.6 SportsBet.io: 4.5 (Nice site. Bad odds. Fast payouts.) Cloudbet: 4.25 (Nice site. Bad odds. Slow payouts. Good Live odds.) JetWin: 4 (Nice site. Bad odds.) DirectBet: 1

Fairlay is very good. Great odds and fast transactions. Never a problem, or if one, it was responded to and fixed promptly.
I think that justbc guy had his own agenda and was just bashing.

directbet +5 I highly recommend the perfect site I like this site
Correct.DirectBet is the oldest and the most preferred site at least for me.Nowadays a lot of scam sites like Sportsbet.io has been coming up trying to get traffic by organizing fake lotteries.Little do the people know,they have zero chances of winning actually.Take my advice,stop using Sportsbet.io as they have comparatively less odds compared to other good websites like Directbet/NitrogenSports. Sportbet.io seems okay to me. They are related to VegasCasino.io. Their lotteries seem to be legit. I just won 50 mBTC! I give them a 4 out of 5. Nice fast site with a fast UI. Odds not the best but okay. Fairlay is by far the best odds. Exactly the same as Pinnacle! I give them a 5! DirectBet has the WORST odds of all so if all the people who are voting for them are actually playing with them, they are or will soon be losing all of their money. You just can't win in the long run with such horrible odds. I give Direct Bet a 1.

For Baseball wagering, are wagers "Action" or "Listed Pitchers?"
I don't see it stated anywhere on the game or wager slip.
It does show the Pitchers' names prominently, so does that mean it is "Listed Pitchers?" And that means "No Action" if there is a change to either pitcher?
And if it is "Action" then lines will be adjusted to the new pitcher?
Thanks!

I give Fairlay a 5 because they have the best odds by far. http://www.fairlay.com/?signup=2095It's an exchange so the layout is different, but you'll get the hang of it. You will save a significant amount over the course of your wagering due to the better odds. You will go broke on DirectBet with their bad odds, I don't care what all the posters have posted here. I think they get paid something to post good reviews for DirectBet. I give Nitrogen Sports a 4.5. https://nitrogensports.eu/r/19312 They have very good odds, a nice site and very good customer support. Very reliable. They've been around longer than most. I give CloudBet a 3.5 https://www.cloudbet.com/en/?af_token=72d1c69241eb3b054a0106205b5194d4They have bad odds and withdrawals take hours. But they have a very nice looking and fast site and their Live Betting is very good and has better odds. So if you play CloudBet, you will get better odds by waiting to bet after the game has started! GL!

A 5 for Fairlay! They have the best Baseball odds. Less than 10 cents between favorite and underdog. Sometimes only 4 or 5 cents difference!

Do any BitCoin Sportsbooks take a Credit Card deposit? And then convert it to BTC?
Thanks!

I appreciate your efforts here to inform folks about BitCoin Sportsbooks. Unfortunately, DirectBet has stuffed the ballot box by somehow encouraging or paying folks to rate them a 5.0. No experienced bettor in their right mind would bet at DirectBet with their awful odds and high juice! They are trying to make money off uninformed, new bettors. And how could you not have JetWin not even ranked? They have maybe the best interface of all of them and pretty good odds.

Thank you for the scores!
RANKINGS HAVE BEEN UPDATED 12/6/2015
Let's keep the scores flowing in.
You should always note for newbies that the rankings are updated on page 1.

Flutterclub's new site looks very good and is fast. Will have to try it and check on the odds and juice.

My rankings and I have used them all quite a bit.
Nitrogen 4.5. Would be nice if they added Live! betting. The only one to offer teasers, but it would be nice if ties in Teasers didn't lose.
BitCoinRush 4.5. Nice simple, but fast interface and they offer ALL sports at good odds and juice.
JetWin 4. Maybe the best looking and fastest layout and interface, but their odds are all over the place and often a bit off from what is offered elsewhere.
VegasCasino.io 4. Simple but fast interface and good odds and fast payouts.
Cloudbet. 4 Very nice and fast interface, but not good odds and juice and that's a deal breaker for any knowledgeable player.
Fairlay Exchange 4 Great idea, but layout and interface are not very good and they still won't add an option for American odds even though they have said it is coming for months now. How hard can it be?
WeBetCoins. 4 Very good odds, but a boring and kinda slow interface. They also take up to 24 hours or more to release your Bitcoins, although they have told me that will change soon so that withdrawals will be in minutes, not hours.
DirectBet 1. Terrible odds and juice and sloppy layout and interface.

It boggles my mind that DirectBet keeps getting high scores here. Posters must be getting paid or somehow rewarded for their posts and ratings.
Their odds are terrible. By far the worst of any of the books mentioned here. And any serious bettor, knows that you must get good odds and low juice if you have ANY chance of coming out ahead in this game.
And the site layout and interface is also the worst of any of the books mentioned here.
Somehow, they are stuffing the ballot box here.

I guess I'll look for some sports bets. I assume I can place them with Dogecoin?
I wish DirectBet Sportsbook allowed us to convert the interface to American decimal odds.
You can switch the display to American Odds. There is a menu for that at the bottom left corner of the Sportsbook. Great. Found it. Now, if only you had better sports odds. Yours are REALLY bad. You might have the same point spreads, but you charge WAY more juice. Please let your Sportsbook managers aware of this, although I expect they already are. No experienced sports bettor would play on your site with those odds. Thanks!
