Thanks to the guys that are posting book information for all of us to see. Also, thanks to the books for chiming in.

DirectBet uses the "back" odds from Betfair adding more take out. There is a minimum amount needed at Betfair for DirectBet
to put up a line. Many times there aren't lines up on one side or both since lines are dependent upon lines at an exchange. The lines at DirectBet aren't competitive in American markets.

With deposit books when a bet is placed , the player gets notice if the bet is accepted or rejected in a short period of time. With DirectBet confirmation of accepting/rejecting a bet isn't made until the time the money leaves the players wallet until it reaches DirectBet's wallet.

Most of the time this is immediate but there is also the possibility of not knowing if a bet is accepted or rejected for an hour or more. While this hasn't happened for a while, a few months ago confirmations were delayed on a daily basis. Most of the time it was due to the site going up and down, but it can be from any delay in DirectBet receiving a bet after coins leaving the player's wallet.

DirectBet once had the advantage of being a non-deposit book but the advantage no longer exists with the speed in which deposits and withdrawals occur at other books. Some have instant deposit/withdrawals.

Books rated "B-" and higher are recommended books. DirectBet isn't capable of meeting the recommended status due to the system in which they use to confirm/reject bets. There should never be extended delays. One delay is one too many.

gogo- I talked with Nitrogen about "listed" pitchers. A huge majority of their players want all wagers to be "action". Nitrogen is always open to change so it wouldn't surprise me if this was changed down the line. Believe me, I know that they take your opinion seriously.

They are rated but not all the books were on the spreadsheet. DirectBet raised from "C-" to "C". They seem to have solved many of the problems that they had with the down time.

Update

With Fairlay you have the option of creating an account or betting in the same way that it's done at DirectBet.

Thanks for checking in BetVIP.

Tonyq- Thanks for the updates.

BetVIP is not responding to communication.

My hopes are that Schwartzkopff is too well known for him to just walk away and stiff us players although you could be right.

BetVIP taken off the rating's guide until further information can be obtained on the buyout news.

I'm still looking in to this.

BetVIP went down for Maintenance yesterday and they still aren't back up.

Nitrogen has live betting for the NBA finals.

Thanks for the post.
