Warning :

Peeps Place "Ratings Guide" is not a true ratings guide but rather a disguised paid advertisement. Ratings are paid for.

If you go to www.PeepsPlace.com you will see that the 3 Bitcoin Sportbooks that pay him for banners are the ones on top of his "ratings guide". This is not a coincidence.

Peeps Place is also operating his "ratings guide" from a self moderated thread. This is a tactic that is employed by scammers and it allows him to delete posts that he does not want you to see.

For a more accurate ratings, check out the sport books rankings by users thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577102.0

Players and books: Please correct any errors. thanks

There are a lot of good things about DirectBet. I think your biggest advantage is keeping live lines up at all times, not just during commercial breaks. I think that your biggest downfall is that your odds aren't competitive compared to other books. I'm talking full game just prior to the game starting. Also, your advantage of keeping live lines up at all times diminishes with a huge hold. This includes the 1% affiliate reduction. At a site such as Peepsplace where posters are familiar with each other, the 1% is just a buddy bonus. I give you 1%, you give me 1%. If your book has a hold of 8% the reduction does make it 7% with a buddy bonus or legitimate affiliate arrangement. That is considered.

It's going to take a little bit longer to get the new ratings up for the books.  I can address all your points at that time since comparisons can be made. Most books will get lower ratings. There have been too many books that have gone under. A common denominator is a small staff. It seems all the one and two man operations go under. Blockbet, Bit365, Stakebet and Bitbook all small operations.

The ratings are not an exact science. If all books were opened 3 years with the same amount of clients and volume, then it would be very easy to rate all books. The criteria above would be followed 100%. Since that is far from the case, individual aspects of a book must be considered.

If a book is paying 2 hours instead of immediately, it has to be determined why a book is taking longer. Speed of payment is the most important aspect of identical books. As mentioned in a post above, if a book takes a high volume of action, along with a large withdrawal amount, an exception has to be made.
