I have read a bit of bit coin sportsbooks.  I check and from what i read the main legit sites are


1.  Anonibet
2.  Nitrogensports
3.  Cloudbet
4.  Betcoinsports



I like to bet the american sports only.  Such as MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL.  The sportsbooks that i have had experience with are the offshore books.  


However, when i look at the lines in these books, they are heavily juiced.   I read nitrogensports is a pinnacle clone.. but if thats the case, why is the juice so high?  Example in a baseball game where pinnacle sports or 5dimes which has reduced juice or other books, you have 10 cent lines on the ML and 10 cent lines on the total.


If at pinnacle or 5dimes, you have Seattle -105, Houston will be similarly -105 or so roughly.  If you have a team where they are -170, the other side will probably be -160 or -158 or so.  However if its a book that uses a 20 cent line like bookmaker then it would be +150.  


I looked at a few of these sportsbooks and the juice is very high.  Example i saw a team -168 ML in baseball.  The other side was +135.  Thats a 30 cent line which is ridiculous.  Even the lines in vegas are better.


I did notice that the nfl season, many of these books are -105 or -106 juice.  Thats very good.  However, how can baseball moneyline odds be this high vig?  Even the totals are not that good.  The runlines are even worst.  I mean if you have lines where its +120 one side then -155 the other side, thats a lot of juice.


It doesn't make sense why the juice is so high.  Yes you can bet on games but its going to be very hard to win betting a sport like baseball with that kind of vig.  


Does anyone know if anything will be done soon where the juice gets much better?  Does anyone know how the juice is like for nba/nhl?  From what i see the vig is one of the worst i have ever seen for betting baseball.  

You won't need a 5 Dimes clone soon as they have announced that they're going to be accepting BTC directly!

Withdrawing to Coinbase
August 20, 2014Bitcoin, Jenny
There’s been a lot of talk this week about the concerns around withdrawing to Coinbase when you’re using your bitcoins to gamble. A few bettors have received emails like the following from Coinbase:
“Upon review of your Coinbase account, we have determined that we can no longer provide you access to Coinbase Services. Please understand that Coinbase is a regulated Money Service Business under the FinCEN division of the U.S. Treasury Department and as such, we are required to review accounts in order to ensure compliance with regulations.

Gambling is illegal under US law even if you live outside of the US we cannot provide services to your account for the purpose of any type of gambling activity.”

Anonymity and security are always at the top of our minds, so we’d like to take a moment to reassure you that  we don’t use a single address to withdraw your bitcoins from Nitrogen Sports.  Your deposit address can also be changed (up to 5 times a day) if you’d like to ensure that you’re getting a completely brand new deposit address every time.
If you have any concerns about the security of your bitcoin, please don’t ever hesitate to give us a shout! Please submit a support ticket, and one of our amazing support staff would be happy to walk you through how we ensure your anonymity.

You couldn't pay me to use a US based exchange.

Your best bet is private deals through localbitcoins. If you prefer exchanges, Bitfinex, Justcoin and Hitbtc are all good options (none of these exchanges would even dare to ask you what you are doing with YOUR money).

The balls on Coinbase!

FYI - Just an announcement - we are trialing "live betting" with MLB right now!

We will be offering Live Betting in Tennis, NFL, NCAAF and all other major US markets as they get back into play!

Anonibet still doesn't offer boxing. 

I had a very unique experience with this site: Around a week ago, my computer was infected with a trojan that presumably stole all my sessions and cookies. The attacker proceeded to sift through my various online accounts and requested withdrawals to his address on all my bitcoin-related accounts; I had around 2BTC on fairlay. When I noticed this the next day, I immediately sent an email to Fairlay asking not to process the withdrawal. I received an email back stating that the withdrawal would not be sent. Unfortunately, likely through a miscommunication or the like, the withdrawal did go through and the attacker received my 2BTC, I was really devastated. To my surprise however, after I emailed support about this, the owner of the site claimed responsibility for the lack of miscommunication and completely reimbursed me the 2BTC, out of his own pocket. So that should tell you how they treat their customers Smiley
Otherwise, I like the site. In general I like the idea of a bitcoin betting exchange. In addition, the commission is really low (2% on net winnings), and the interface is really clean and user friendly.

"Coinbase demanding to know where btc are being sent."


http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2aagzi/coinbase_demanding_to_know_where_btc_are_being/

Sent out some coins this morning from my Coinbase wallet.
Coinbase has a screen now as part of the "Send Money" process that demands to know if it is going to "My Personal Wallet" or "A Merchant".
I selected "A Merchant", and it demanded the Merchant's name. I tried to send leaving it blank, wouldn't send, message "Cannot leave merchant's name blank".
Goodbye Coinbase.

Thank you for your interest in Asianconnect's product and services, as a licensed bookmaker. We are at liberty to conduct KYC to ensure full security of our clients identity. Due to the recent promotion initiatives launched by our company, we have seen a huge surge in the new sign ups' specially new customers registering interest in our bonus offers.

We sincerely thank all our customers' support and will certainly do more to push out attractive promotions in the near future. With respect to some complaints making the rounds on a couple of forums, we are certain that all our knowledgeable customers are aware that Asianconnect offered a very high bonus payout to all customers who are able to meet the required conditions, it is therefore no surprise that bonus hunters and abusers are bound to be attracted by such a huge offer.

We would like to take this opportunity to assure all our customers and prospective customers that Asianconnect is not and will not face liquidity issues which we are sure is highly attestable by many in the betting industry. Before the launch of the series of bonus promotions, there were hardly any complaints against our organization reagrding any non-payment of funds. This speaks volumes of our stability considering we have been in the business for more than 7 years now.

We would like to point out the fact that the recent complaints arose either due to registration issues or bonus hunting scams, there were cases of customers from excluded territories who signed up for our promotions and also cases of huge syndicate of hunters deploying minimal risk wagering system on multiple accounts, these violations subsequently resulted in the forfeiture of bonus and also closure of accounts. The complaints cases are still under investigation and it would not be beneficial to disclose more details at this juncture.

Thanking all customers for your concern.

Regards,
Asianconnect
